OUR MOVEMENT—REAL SOLUTIONS
Let's Build a Better Future
 
Our movement is about building a future that is more prosperous, more secure, and more just for you and your family. Americans deserve a leader who will unite our divided nation and turn big ideas—that address present day and future challenges and opportunities—into real solutions for the American people and our great nation.

UNITY: Defeating Trump and ending his divisive agenda will require a unified coalition of progressives, moderates, independents, and disaffected Republicans who care deeply about their country rallying around a common purpose. This coalition is what we need to govern and win elections. There is strength in unity. This is the American experience.

PROSPERITY: For too long, many hard-working Americans have been left behind, abandoned by the very institutions designed to help them and the individuals elected to fight for and represent them. We can do better for every citizen. By lifting up each one of us, we lift us all. There is dignity in work and we need better jobs. This is the American way.

SECURITY: While reds and blues fight among and against one another, our country is left vulnerable to national security threats. The cost of continuing down this path could be detrimental to our democracy, our country, and our security. We need to respond to changes in the world and prepare our country and citizens for the future. There is a duty to protect. This is the American ideal.

JUSTICE: My grandparents made pencils and worked the docks, my father was a union electrician. With the blessing of a great education, I became a lawyer, successful entrepreneur, Chief Executive, and three-term Congressman who served in a battleground seat. Every American should have the American Dream within reach. To do that, we need to fix some fundamentally flawed institutions—education, health care, the criminal justice system, infrastructure, retirement security—and I've got the ideas to do it. There is integrity in treating others with respect, decency, and acknowledging that we are not in this alone. This is America.

I'm running for President because I believe I can bring our country back together, get things done, prepare America for the future, and lead our great nation globally as we usher in a new era.
