Bernie was elected to the U.S. Senate after 16 years as Vermont’s congressman in the House of Reps. He is now serving his third term in the Senate.

In 1981, Bernie was elected Mayor of Burlington and helped transform Burlington into one of the most exciting and livable small cities in America. During this time, the city made huge strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, youth programs and the arts.

In Congress, Bernie has fought tirelessly for working families, focusing on the shrinking middle class and growing gap between the rich and everyone else. He has fought his entire life to root out all forms of discrimination in our society.

For decades, he’s been fighting to guarantee health care as a human right to everyone in this country, regardless of income, race, gender or sexual identity. Bernie has consistently fought to expand women’s access to reproductive care and has opposed efforts attacking a woman’s right to choose. Bernie successfully worked with Congressman Jim Clyburn to dramatically expand access to community health centers which provide primary care, dental care, low-cost prescription drugs and mental health counseling to more than 28 million Americans. As a result of Senator Sanders’ successful fight, he secured $11 billion for Community Health Centers in the Affordable Care Act that have delivered care to tens of millions of low-income people in this country, largely people of color. He also secured funding for the National Health Service Corps in the Affordable Care Act to bring more health care providers to underserved communities.

From 1995-2005, a period when Congress was controlled by the extreme right wing, Bernie passed more amendments on the floor of the House than any other Member of Congress. For these efforts, Bernie was dubbed the "amendment king". As chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Bernie worked across the aisle to “bridge Washington’s toxic partisan divide and cut one of the most significant deals in years.” He again worked across the aisle to pass a War Powers Resolution in the House and Senate for the first time since its passage 45 years ago.

Bernie’s amendments prevented companies from slashing the pensions of older workers; provided the funding necessary to make tens of thousands of homes more energy efficient; kept senior citizens on fixed incomes warm in the winter through the LIHEAP program; sought to lower prices for prescription drugs; eliminated corporate welfare; and protected our nation’s veterans.

Bernie ran for president in 2016, and together with millions of people in this country, started the political revolution.

I grew up in Oklahoma on the ragged edge of the middle class. My daddy sold fencing and carpeting at Montgomery Ward, and ended up as a janitor. I have three older brothers who served in the military, and my oldest brother was career Air Force.

When I was twelve, my daddy suffered a heart attack. He was out of work for a long time and the medical bills piled up. We lost the family station wagon and were about an inch away from losing our home, when my mother got a minimum wage job answering the phones at Sears. Back then, a minimum wage job could support a family of three. That job saved our home, and it saved our family.

I’ve spent my whole career studying why America’s middle class has been hollowed out. I’ve taken on giant corporate special interests like big banks and credit card companies that cheat consumers and undermine small businesses. I’ve gone after shady for-profit schools that rip off students, veterans, and taxpayers. I’ve fought to end the influence of big money in politics.

In our country, everyone ought to be able to take care of themselves and the people they love. That should be the fundamental promise of America. This is deeply personal to me because I got a real taste of opportunity. I've known what I wanted to do since I was in second grade. I wanted to be a teacher. And it was the University of Houston, which cost just $50 a semester, that gave me my chance. I got to become a teacher, a law professor, and the senior senator from Massachusetts because America invested in kids like me. I’m in this fight to build an America that works for everyone.

America’s middle class has been deliberately hollowed out and the wealthy and well-connected have tilted the system in their favor. After decades of largely flat wages and exploding household costs, millions of families are hanging on by their fingernails—all while corporate profits and wealth inequality have soared. The squeeze is even worse for people of color, who have been shut out of their chance to build wealth for generations and face systemic discrimination to this day. And our society and economy demand so much of women, with a particular burden on women of color. To make our country work for the people, we need big, structural solutions -- not tweaks and nudges. The time for small ideas is over. 

When I am president, we’ll attack corruption in Washington head on by passing the most aggressive set of anti-corruption proposals since Watergate. My plan will slam shut the revolving door between big business and government and end lobbying as we know it – because our government should work for everyone, not just the billionaires, lobbyists, and big corporations at the top. Building an America that reflects our values also means elevating the voices of those who have traditionally been overlooked and underserved. We’ve got to make sure everyone has a seat at the table and I will do that in a Warren administration. 

We have a chance to unite – unite as Democrats, but also with independents and Republicans who are sick of living in a country that's working great for the politicians that cozy up to wealthy donors, working great for the lobbyists, working great for the corporate executives, but just not working for everyone else. Americans don’t want a tweak here or a nibble there. They want big, structural change. They want a government that works for them and their families. This campaign is about identifying what’s broken, having a plan to fix it, and then building a grassroots movement to win in 2020 and make the change that’s needed come January 2021.

Mike Bloomberg is a middle class kid who worked his way through college.  After getting laid off at age 39, he started a company from scratch and built it into a business that today employs 20,000 people.  He gives virtually all of the company’s profits to charity, to support causes he is passionate about, including gun violence, climate change, education, women’s rights, and health care.  He served three terms as Mayor of New York and created nearly a half-million jobs, expanded health insurance to 700,000 people, reduced the city’s carbon footprint, and cut the incarceration rate by nearly 40%.  Now he’s running to unite America and start getting big things done.

One of Mike Bloomberg’s earliest memories took place around his family’s dining room table in Medford, Massachusetts. His father – a bookkeeper at a local dairy who never earned more than $6,000 a year in his life – sat down and wrote out a $25 or $50 check to the NAACP. When Mike asked him why, his father responded: “Because discrimination against anyone is a threat to everyone.” With that simple act and that simple explanation, Mike’s father taught him one of his most important lessons: We’re all in this together – and if you have an opportunity to help, you have an obligation to act.

The sense of duty and common purpose that he first learned from his father has guided Mike Bloomberg throughout his life and career as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and job creator who served as mayor of New York City for 12 years.

It’s what led him to become one of America’s most fearless and effective voices on urgent issues including climate change, gun violence, public health, and education. It’s why he has given $10 billion to support vital causes in the U.S. and around the world, and why he has pledged to give away nearly all of his money in his lifetime. And it’s what compels him today to run for president of the United States.

Mike understands the unprecedented risks we face from the current administration and what it will take to get our country back on track. Mike Bloomberg built one of the world’s most successful companies from scratch and guided America’s largest city to new heights after the attacks of 9/11 and through the shocks of the global economic crisis.

Mike is a proven leader with an unmatched track record in business and government. He can unite the Democratic Party, bridge partisan differences, and get Washington back to solving problems – and getting the big things done for Americans.

Mike Bloomberg grew up in a middle-class family outside of Boston. He wasn’t born into wealth or social connections. His drive to succeed, love of work, and passion for service began at a young age. When he was 12 years old he became one of the youngest Eagle Scouts in history. To help pay his way through Johns Hopkins University, he worked in a parking lot and took out government loans.

His father died when he was in college and his mother worked as a secretary. After working his way through college and Harvard Business School, Mike then took an entry-level job with a financial services firm and worked his way up to partner, eventually overseeing its technology and information systems.

And then, one day in 1981, he was laid off. It turned out to be a moment that would define the rest of his life.

The next day, Mike decided to start his own company, beginning in a one-room office with a groundbreaking idea far ahead of its time: a desktop computer that connected investors to a vast network of information and data. If Mike’s new business could distribute that information widely, it would democratize financial information, empowering investors and smaller firms and result in dramatically improved returns for pensioners and retirees.

People told him it was a waste of time and that his idea would never work. But Mike believed in the idea and worked long days and nights. Today, Bloomberg LP employs some 20,000 talented and creative people who share Mike’s passion for innovation and customer service.

Pete is the son of Joseph Buttigieg, a first-generation immigrant from Malta, and Anne Montgomery, a fifth-generation Hoosier. They raised him in South Bend, Indiana, in the same neighborhood where he lives today with his husband, Chasten, and their rescue dogs, Buddy and Truman.

South Bend was once home to Studebaker, one of the largest car manufacturers in America. Like many other Americans in the industrial Midwest, Pete grew up surrounded by empty factories and abandoned houses, hearing that the only way to a good life was to get out.

Leaving for college, Pete found himself part of a generation that came of age with school shootings, the generation that provided the majority of the troops in the conflicts after 9/11, the generation that is on the business end of climate change, and the generation that—unless we take action—stands to be the first to be worse off economically than their parents.

Pete knew his heart was in public service and came home to help his hometown bounce back. In 2011, Pete ran for and was elected Mayor of South Bend on a promise to bring the city back with a new approach to politics and new ideas.

As mayor, Pete worked across the aisle to transform South Bend into a 21st-century city and improve people’s everyday lives. Household income rose by 31 percent. Poverty fell by a third, and unemployment reached its lowest rate in two decades. The city launched a tech education center and brought nearly $400 million in private investment to downtown.

At the same time, Pete worked to build a South Bend community where every resident could feel safe and included. His first-of-its-kind municipal identification cards for undocumented immigrants brought residents out of the shadows, while a small business incubator established in a historically-Black neighborhood worked to expand opportunity. And while South Bend’s turnaround continues, the people of South Bend have come to believe in their city once more.

During his first term as mayor, Pete took a leave of absence to deploy to Afghanistan. As a Lieutenant in the Navy, Pete served with Americans from every part of the country, of every ethnicity and faith. He saw firsthand that when you bring Americans from different backgrounds together in common purpose, you can build the strongest fighting force in the world. And that’s exactly what we need now.

From stagnant wages to climate change, from the rise of gun violence and white nationalism, we are facing urgent national crises.

Pete knows the answers won’t come from Washington, but rather to Washington. As a mayor, he knows good politics is based in helping people, not in advancing an ideological agenda. As a veteran, he understands when we bring Americans together we can do anything. And as president, Pete will bring a new kind of politics to Washington -- one that will turn the page on politics of division and rally Americans together behind bold ideas so we can finally solve our greatest problems.

This election will decide who will lead us on the day after the current administration leaves office. We will choose whether we have leadership that offers more of the same endless partisan battles or turns the page. Pete will be a president ready to pick up the pieces of our divided nation, gather up an American majority that is hungry for change, and act to ensure that our future is better than our past.

Amy Klobuchar has always been guided by the values she learned growing up in Minnesota. Her grandfather worked 1,500 feet underground in the iron ore mines of northern Minnesota. Her father, Jim, was a newspaperman and her mother, Rose, was an elementary school teacher who taught second grade until she was 70.

Amy’s daughter, Abigail, was sick when she was born. Even though Abigail was in intensive care, Amy was discharged from the hospital after just 24 hours because of insurance rules. She took that experience and became the leading advocate for the successful passage of one of the first laws in the country guaranteeing 48-hour hospital stays for new moms and their babies.

Amy was the Hennepin County Attorney, the largest prosecutor’s office in Minnesota, for eight years. Her safe schools initiative, community prosecution efforts and criminal justice reforms earned national awards from both the Bush and Clinton Justice Departments. She worked with the Innocence Project to advocate for videotaped interrogations across the country as well as innovative eyewitness processes to protect against false identifications.

In 2006, Amy became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate in Minnesota’s history. At a time when not enough is getting done in Washington because of gridlock and grandstanding, Amy has put partisanship aside and worked hard to get things done that make a difference for American families.

A recent study from Vanderbilt University ranked Amy as the most effective Democratic senator in the last Congress. Medill News Service also reported that she ranked first in the Senate with the most bills led or cosponsored enacted into law in the 114th Congress.

Amy is taking on big interests to bring down everyday costs for families and protect consumers. She is leading the fight to allow Medicare to negotiate for cheaper prescription drugs for seniors and to bring in safe, affordable drugs from Canada, and has pushed back on big corporate mergers that would hurt consumers. 

Amy is focused on helping workers get ready for 21st century jobs, and has passed legislation to strengthen STEM education and apprenticeship programs. She stands up for rural America in the Senate and worked to pass three Farm Bills to strengthen America’s rural economy and give farmers the certainty and support they need. She also led a successful effort to pass landmark bipartisan legislation to combat opioid addiction. 

Amy is also a champion for strengthening our nation’s infrastructure. After fighting to obtain full funding to rebuild the I-35W bridge, which was completed just 13 months after it tragically collapsed into the Mississippi River, she helped pass the FAST Act, a major bipartisan transportation bill. And as a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, she is working to ensure that every home in America has a good broadband connection. 

Amy has been working to ensure fairness and transparency in our democracy. She helped pass the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate and has authored legislation to automatically register eligible voters when they turn 18. She has also led efforts to improve election security and prevent foreign interference in our democracy, and successfully secured $380 million to strengthen states’ election infrastructure and help protect them from future attacks by foreign adversaries.

Her work has gained national recognition. Vogue magazine described her as “personable, popular, and pragmatic,” the New York Times described her as a “former prosecutor with made for-state-fair charms,” and Working Mother Magazine named her as “Best in Congress” for her efforts on behalf of working families.

Tom Steyer is committed to combating climate change, fixing our government, and, when elected president, putting people, and not corporations, in charge of our democracy. After starting and growing a successful investment firm, Tom stepped down in 2012 to focus his energy and resources to these causes. 

In 2013, he founded NextGen America, a nonprofit group that combats climate change, promotes social justice, and increases participation in our democracy through voter registration and grassroots organizing.

Across the country and in his home state of California, Tom has shown repeatedly that going directly to the people and raising their voices is the way to beat entrenched corporate interests and win fights for fairness. He helped beat Big Oil to protect California’s landmark clean-air laws and he followed that up with wins for clean energy in Michigan and Nevada. He helped close a massive corporate tax loophole to generate at least $1.7 billion for public schools. He helped beat big tobacco companies and forced them to pay their share of healthcare costs for the harm their products have caused.

Tom and his wife Kat Taylor have devoted countless hours of their time and donated tens of millions of dollars to charitable projects that advance education, renewable energy, clean air and water, healthy food, sustainable agriculture, self-sustaining communities and more.

Tom’s parents taught him that action always speaks louder than words. Their charitable foundation powered the creation of “California Food for California Kids,” a program that now serves more than 300 million healthy meals yearly to the state’s school kids using natural food from California farms. Another charitable project is Beneficial State Bank, which since 2007 has loaned money affordably to working people, small businesses and nonprofit community projects shut out by regular banks. Tom and Kat have given more than $120 million to building the bank, which reinvests any profits back into the communities it serves. Their support of the bank is ongoing.

Tom graduated from Yale and earned his MBA at Stanford. Working on Wall St. was not for him, so he moved to San Francisco in 1986 and started his own small investment firm. Backed by two seasoned investors, Tom started managing the new fund, which began with $9 million in investments. Over the years, Tom achieved double-digit returns for his investors — mostly universities, foundations and individuals. His success built the firm to $36 billion in investments at the fund’s peak.

For 10 years, I have been supporting, leading, and fighting battles on the ground with the people. Too many Americans feel like their voice doesn’t matter — that the system is rigged in favor of corporations and special interest groups.

In the recent midterms, I led the largest youth voter-turnout effort in the history of our country. Our organizers worked in hundreds of college campuses and city neighborhoods across the country to increase voting by youth, people of color, workers and other underrepresented groups.

My wife, Kat Taylor, and I have devoted hours of time and donated tens of millions of dollars to charitable projects in the service of education, renewable energy, clean air and water, healthy food, sustainable agriculture, self-sustaining communities and more. And even now, during my presidential campaign, I continue to support the causes I believe in and work toward serving the American people with my time, energy, and money.

Our foundation powered the birth of “California Food for California Kids,” a program that now serves millions of healthy meals yearly to young students in the state using natural food from California farms.

When Wall Street banks took advantage of millions of Americans during the recession, my wife Kat and I took action. We started a non-profit community bank with a simple theory: give people a fair deal and a shot at real economic power, giving people an alternative to the big financial institutions that have treated customers, communities, and the planet so badly. Corporate greed in the banking industry has left many Americans out of shared prosperity.

At Beneficial, we put the interests of consumers and borrowers first, and promote a regulatory framework that aligns with our philosophy that banks must do no harm and operate in a fair, transparent, and inclusive way. We invested in the community, in businesses owned by women and people of color, and affordable housing.

Tulsi is the first female combat veteran to ever run for president and the first female combat veteran ever elected to Congress, along with Tammy Duckworth.  Gabbard has served for seven years on the Foreign Affairs, Armed Services, and Homeland Security Committees, where she's been intimately involved with sensitive, national security issues.  A war veteran of two tours of duty in the Middle East and presently a major in the US Army National Guard, Gabbard is an outspoken critic of regime change wars and the new cold war.  Surrounded by swaying palm trees, pounding surf, and luscious mountain ranges on Tutuila Island, Tulsi was born to Carol and Mike Gabbard as the fourth of five children.  Growing up in Hawaii, Tulsi was surrounded by one of the most ethnically, culturally and religiously diverse places in the world. One simple idea unifies so many unique people—Aloha.  Having experienced first-hand the true cost of war, Tulsi made a personal vow to find a way to ensure that our country doesn’t continue repeating the mistakes of the past, sending our troops into war without a clear mission, strategy, or purpose.  Tulsi entered the race as a clear underdog against a well-established candidate, ran a positive campaign focused on servant leadership in the spirit of aloha, and won a resounding victory.  Tulsi has approached every issue through the lens of what will best serve the American people, secure our country, and promote peace.  I was raised in a multi-faith family studying both the Christian and Hindu scriptures. We observed Christmas and Janmastami (the birth of Jesus and the birth of Krishna).

Join me in ushering in a new century free from the fear of nuclear war, in a world where there is real peace, where our people have time to pursue happiness rather than being forced to work constantly just to survive, where parents have time to spend with their children, and where we build strong communities that care for each other and the planet.

In this new century, everyone has clean water to drink, clean air to breathe and access to nourishing food; everyone receives the medical care they need, has a roof over their head, receives the education they need and is able to find good paying, fulfilling work. People have financial security and don’t have to worry about making ends meet in their old age.

Our children, and children for generations to come, never worry again about nuclear war and no parent has to wonder where they will hide their children when the missiles strike. Our economy is not dependent on war, but is driven instead by innovation, green technology and renewable industries. 

Our schools, parks and streets are safe so that our children can learn and play without fear; our first responders act as servants and protectors of the people, the community respects their service and sacrifice and we truly have justice for all.

We experience a purpose higher than just survival, our success in life is measured by our happiness and fulfillment rather than accumulation of wealth and status. We love and care for our neighbors, and respect each other regardless of the color of our skin, how we worship or who we love and we place as much value on character as we do on consumption. 

In this new century, we work out our differences with one another with mutual respect and tolerance;  we negotiate with other nations and resolve problems through compromise and diplomacy. We overcome the current pulling us toward war, and usher in a new era of international peace and prosperity built not on conflict but on cooperation.

I was born and raised in Ohio and my parents taught me the value of hard work, being self-sufficient and being myself (sometimes hard to do in a family of six kids).  I grew up experiencing the daily challenges many Midwest middle class families face and worked a variety of jobs including paperboy, restaurant server, city landscaping summer crew member, pizza delivery and Burger King employee.  

I earned a B.S. in Business at Miami University (Oxford, OH) and will complete a Master's in Government - Policy Analysis from Harvard University School of Extension Studies this May. 

My professional career has been in the financial services and technology industries most recently as a founding employee of an Internet start-up and a Silicon Valley technology company Senior Director of project management.  I learned valuable lessons about dedicating my time to creating a successful venture, collaborating with subject matter experts and developing processes. I witnessed firsthand ordinary people from all nationalities and walks of life build their dream businesses and identified what I believe our country needs to help all citizens prosper and experience their best lives.  I would take pride in being a steward of our diverse population and champion progressive policy changes to lead our country in a new direction.

I am running because I know I have a message which resonates with the majority of our friends and neighbors.  I will fight for all who need help and promote an agenda that will positively reverberate across our nation and across the world.  I decided to further my education and then run for office while witnessing our cherished political institutions deteriorate over the past four years.  I am staying in the race to offer an alternative, strong progressive voice and because I know I can defeat the president even in the Midwest swing states critical to winning an Electoral College majority.

With your support, I will bring our country back from a divisive quagmire and bring common sense and decency to our political discussion.  The tribalism emanating out of party politics is not healthy for our children, ourselves and our nation.  I grew up with various family and friends who identify at the extremes of both political ideologies and I understand how to relate to each group and what both sides need to heal and unite.  I am here to stand up for fairness for everyone in this country. 

My wife and I have been blessed with a healthy, inquisitive and precocious son and I am not going to let our nation go down a dark path because of greed only to leave his generation in dire straits.  But, I am always optimistic about our future and know in my heart that we can defend true progressive values, preserve everyone's God-given and Constitutional rights and put this country in a direction to lead the world in economic prosperity and provide security for every citizen. 

My campaign slogan, “A Time for New Hope” means with my young family at my side, I will usher in a new era of politics focused on the future and what we can achieve together.  I support progressive values with a path to prosperity for the majority of our citizens and will lead from an altruistic belief and care for our families, friends and neighbors.  My platform, Moral Deal will introduce reforms for climate change, K-12 education, a sustainable economy for all, taxes, corporate values, single-payer healthcare and infrastructure. We all must collectively own these responsibilities to be freer, safer, happier and create a brighter future.  

I am not only a Washington outsider but a political outsider and am fed up with the discord which is destroying our country.  I would be one of the youngest and most politically inexperienced presidents, but I believe that is what we need right now to change the system.  My character and Midwestern values have shaped my grit, integrity and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.  I am authentic and want fairness and prosperity for progressives, moderates and conservatives.  

There are certain qualities all presidents must possess which are more important than political experience to be successful and I have them.  A president’s character, stamina, decisiveness, willingness to listen to advisors balanced with his own judgement has led to true measures of achievement.  I will set a moral standard for the nation and be a solid rock for all citizens in times of trouble and will build coalitions domestically, internationally use diplomacy first and always stand up for our American values at home and abroad.

Libertarian for public purposes.  Conservative for private purposes.  

Mark Stewart is a "Conserv-atarian." He emphasizes a liberty ideology that focuses on decisively scaling back government in order to promote freedom. He is a staunch critic of socialism, opposes income taxes, and is an advocate of strictly balanced budget policies. He is an entrepreneur, businessman and educator. Politically he is a "culture warrior" in helping preserve the American creed. Tolerance, individualism, capitalism, and e pluribus unum exemplify this creed, and all nationalities can take part. He would replace government welfare with private welfare, public schools with private schools, and government health care with free market care. He would repeal 50% of laws and 100% of regulations that were never legislatively approved.  Mr. Stewart considers political correctness cowardice, deplores transformation of true feminism, and finds the indulgence our "esteemed" educators give to snowflake sensitivities lachrymose. 

For almost any public concern, Mr. Stewart's answer will probably be "more liberty".  The interesting part is getting us untangled from the restrictive knots our governments have created.   But with a shared goal of "Liberty - SOON!" we'll get there.

Mark is conviced that 50% of the public, and at least 70% of those under 40 are "Socially Liberal, Fiscally Conservative".  These voters finally have a candidate who shares this mantra.

Mosie Boyd owns True Grit Law Firm in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  She also manages The River Valley Economic Development Council and Madam President PAC, a federal political action committee working to elect women to the U.S. presidency.

Born in Sonoma County, Mosie was raised in Occidental surrounded by cousins and extended family. Her great-great grandfather, Rep. John Barham of Santa Rosa represented California's 1st Congressional District from 1895-1901.    

Mosie attended elementary school at Summerfield Waldorf School in Santa Rosa and high school at Sacramento Waldorf School in Fair Oaks.  She earned an undergraduate degree in American Civilization from Brown University, a master's degree in National Security Studies from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and a law degree from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. 

During graduate school, as a St. Catherine's College student at Oxford University, Mosie studied former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's leadership.  During a law school summer abroad program, she visited five international courts and received top paper in a class co-taught (but not graded by) U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.

After college, Mosie worked for U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein.  As a campaign volunteer in Washington, D.C., Mosie drove Dianne Feinstein and her campaign leaders to special events and TV interviews.  After Senator Feinstein's swearing in, Mosie worked in her Senate office helping the interim chief of staff review resumes.  When Mosie talked about teaching English in Asia to learn more about its growing economy, Senator Feinstein's husband encouraged Mosie to go to China.  

After returning from China to Washington, D.C., Mosie worked her way from Congressional intern to Legislative Assistant for U.S. Representative Corrine Brown (D-Florida). As the Congresswoman's staff member responsible for military and intelligence issues, Mosie enjoyed accompanying a three-star general during a visit to the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville. 

During graduate school, Mosie served four missions in Bosnia to supervise voter registration and elections on behalf of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).  After graduate school, Mosie served briefly as a summer analyst with the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board reviewing FBI and CIA documents for declassification.

Thereafter, Mosie returned to Sacramento and volunteered on Bill Lockyer's successful campaign for Attorney General.  Then she got a job in newly elected Governor Gray Davis's mailroom.  A week later, Mosie received a promotion to Special Assistant to the Governor's Chief of Staff.   

After a colleague in the Governor's Executive Office informed Mosie that a man doing lower-level work received higher pay, the supportive colleague urged Mosie to ask for fair pay.  At first, Mosie dismissed this suggestion in favor of keeping her job.  When unfair salary information arrived again the next month, Mosie's colleague insisted that she take action.  Reluctantly, Mosie submitted a request to the staff director who handled salaries.  During the following meeting, he literally threw a ball at Mosie -- which she caught -- and referenced wishing he could burn people in ovens like books.  Almost immediately, Mosie was reassigned out of the State Capitol to the Governor's Office of Planning & Research.

Before leaving the Governor's Office, Mosie noticed that young men were being mentored to run for office but talented young women did not receive the same encouragement.  To fill this void, Mosie founded American Women Presidents, a national political action committee dedicated to promoting the election of women to the U.S. presidency.       

For 20 years, Mosie has worked diligently to promote the election of women to The White House. She has appeared on CNN's Inside Politics, Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, and C-SPAN's The Road to the White House.  Her keynote speeches and published articles include, "America is Ready for a Woman President," "Electing a Woman President," "Commander-in-Chief Credibility," "Participation Brings Power," and "It's Time to Break the Political Glass Ceiling." 

On President's Day weekend 2003, Mosie helped launch former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun's presidential campaign--hosting events with local Democratic leaders in Iowa on Saturday, New Hampshire on Sunday and South Carolina on Monday.  Then Carol few back to Chicago and announced her presidential campaign on Tuesday. Carol appeared in The New York Times and other national news outlets with "Ms. President" signs designed by Mosie.

In 2005, Mosie moved to Little Rock to attend law school and help shore up support for Hillary Clinton in Arkansas after the Clinton's moved to New York.  Mosie printed "Madam President - January 2009" bumper stickers, handed them out when Hillary visited Arkansas, and finished law school in 2 years and 4 months to be ready to campaign for Hillary in 2008.  

After promoting Hillary Clinton for president for 15 years, Mosie knocked on doors for Hillary for America in Iowa, New Hampshire and Ohio from 2015-2016.  She also helped launch Hillary's campaign in Arkansas and made the maximum contributions to HFA for the primary and general election cycles. Mosie also designed "Madam President for America" bumper stickers for Madam President PAC and handed them out when Hillary campaigned in Arkansas.

After the November 2016 election, Mosie gave a motivational speech to Executive Women for Her members, highlighting Hillary Clinton's historic victories on behalf of all women.  Mosie also posted a special thank you message online at http://www.Madam-President.com/thank-you.html.

On President's Day 2019, Mosie hosted The Madam President Forum at Living History Farms in Iowa.  She presented Winning Hearts & Minds for Her (prepared with Executive Women for Her) to representatives of four candidates--Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Marianne Williamson. 

A long-time advocate for women presidential candidates, Mosie continues to promote awareness of the historic campaign to elect women to The White House.  The first American woman to run for president announced her candidacy on April 2, 1870.  Victoria Woodhull ran in the 1872 election.  She and successive candidates deserve our thanks.  On April 2, 2020, Mosie Boyd and Madam President PAC (www.madam-president.com/our-history.html) will celebrate the 150-year anniversary of women running for president.

That's a long time to wait our turn!

Why Mosie Boyd is Running for President:  

Mosie Boyd is running for president to rebuilding patriotism by uniting Americans around our shared values. We all love our country. We're all children of God. And there's a lot that unites us.  The strength of America lives in the heart of every single American.  It's time to start focusing again on our shared values.  We all drive on the same roads, attend the same schools, rely on the same justice system to keep us safe, and count on the same national security team to defend our liberty and freedoms.  Let's rebuild American patriotism by listening to each other and respecting our fellow Americans. Protecting the sovereignty of our nation and the United States Constitution depends on it.

Throughout our nation's history, calling on our Creator for strength consistently leads us forward towards truth and justice.  To protect our nation now, we must call upon our Holy Spirit for true grit to win this election.

Saving American Lives: 

As the founder of True Grit Law Firm, Mosie Boyd works diligently to help people. For years, she has hosted town hall meetings on strategies to save American lives.

Bringing law enforcement and community leaders together, Mosie has worked to implement the "Don't Shoot" & Drug Market Intervention strategies. Developed by David Kennedy, who wrote "Don't Shoot", these strategies save lives and improve safety for law enforcement officers and our communities.

High Point, North Carolina is a national model. Mosie has coordinated conference calls with three consecutive High Point police chiefs and local law enforcement leaders and decision makers in Arkansas.

Mosie firmly believes these successfully proven strategies can be used to save American lives from both gun violence and accidental drug overdoses. 

To understand how these strategies work:

• Watch "Reclaiming the Streets, Healing the Community: The High Point - Drug Market Initiative" (https://vimeo.com/15253394).
• Read about "Don't Shoot" author David Kennedy (https://www.npr.org/2011/11/01/141803766/interrupting-violence-with-the-message-dont-shoot).
• Read David Kennedy's High Point summary (https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/225760.pdf).
  
  
• Visit the National Network for Safe Communities (https://nnscommunities.org).
• Train with the High Point Police Department (https://www.highpointnc.gov/450/Drug-Market-Intervention-Strategy-Presentation).
• See how our police officers and community members can listen and learn from each other (https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/10/police-violence-history-community-trust-reconciliation/600544/). 
• Learn how our law enforcement teams and our communities can work towards reconciliation (http://www.justiceacademy.org/iShare/Library-COPS/cops-p241-pub.pdf). 

Paying Off Our National Debt: 

Just as our nation found the courage to land troops on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day and send men to the moon, we can and must make a decision to pay off our national debt in 5 years using the "debt snowball method."   

To learn how the debt snowball method works, visit https://www.daveramsey.com/blog/how-the-debt-snowball-works.  Applying this method to our national debt, the U.S. Treasury Department can and must list all of our national debt instruments from the smallest to the largest.  Then we can and must work together--as individuals, groups, communities and one nation--to pay them off one by one, starting with our smallest debt. 

Once we have decided that this critical national security threat must be paid off, we will build momentum together and miracles will happen to finish the job. Perhaps school children will collect pennies, charity groups will host bake sales, investment clubs will contribute dividends.  Maybe pen pals will invite our allies to forgive a debt here and there as a token of appreciation for our military assistance during their times of need.  Once a decision is made, "all sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred" as Goethe noted.     

Since 1995 when Dave Ramsey launched Financial Peace University, over 2.5 million Americans--including Mosie--have taken his class and changed the way we look at debt.  Paying off debt becomes a point of pride.  According to DaveRamsey.com, the "turnaround tracker is at 20 billion and counting."  After auditing the class several times, Mosie paid off her debts and built a rainy day fund.  

As more and more Americans complete Financial Peace University and implement these principles in our financial lives, we will continue to demand financial accountability from ourselves and our government leaders.  When enough people stand up and demand financial accountability, our household budgets will continue to balance and our leaders will listen and respond to our demands for a balanced federal budget. 

Fundamentally, we all know that running an annual budget deficit and carrying long-term national debt are unwise.  As our annual debt financing continues to closely approximate our annual national defense spending, thoughtful Americans understand that we're losing strategic geopolitical ground. As our national debts to China and Saudi Arabia grow, those countries continue to report currency reserves.   

As patriotic Americans, we all have a duty to invest in our nation and pay off our national debt to preserve our leadership status as a global superpower.

Mosie believes that Americans are looking for a leader who is willing to take on this challenge and put our nation's future back on track to long-term financial security.  She also believes that once we make a decision to do so and start, we will see signs of progress and our nation's high levels of anxiety will begin to diminish and return to normal. 

As Dave Ramsey often jokes, many Americans have an extra gland that causes stress when our finances get off track.  He's right.  Our national debt is causing Americans tremendous anxiety.  The negative consequences exist all around us.

Once we make the decision to pay off our national debt and begin to do so, we will start to feel better again and mental wellness will improve.  Arguably, paying off our national debt may be one of the best strategies for saving American lives.  

Again, as patriotic Americans, we have a duty to invest in our nation and pay off our national debt so we can secure our global leadership position and enjoy a bright future of liberty and freedom.
