After over 200 years, not even a fifth of Congress is women.
I had five children in six years. The day I brought my fifth baby home, that week, my daughter turned 6.
My father was in Congress when I was born. He was mayor my whole life from when I was in grade school - first grade - to when I went away to college.
For 25 years, it has been my privilege to represent the city of San Francisco and the great state of California; to work to strengthen our vibrant middle class; to secure opportunity and equality.
Social Security has never failed to pay promised benefits, and Democrats will fight to make sure that Republicans do not turn a guaranteed benefit into a guaranteed gamble.
I must have good genes from my parents because I feel no slowdown of energy, enthusiasm or even memory.
I had a friend who was getting married. I said, 'You're getting married - I didn't know about all this!' She said, 'I need health benefits.'
My husband and I have season tickets to the Giants games, and we go there as fans to enjoy it.
I don't know that anybody has walked up to me in the street or in a store or in the grocery and said to me, 'I hope you bomb Assad.' Certainly plenty have said, 'No; thumbs down, thumbs down, thumbs down.'
The name 'Republican' in some ways has been hijacked by obstructionists.
The House of Representatives has never sued a sitting president in all of U.S. history.
Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.
I really want women to know their power, to value their experience. To understand that nothing has been more wholesome in the political process than the increased involvement of women.
Democrats believe in reigniting the American dream by removing barriers to success and building ladders of opportunity for all, so everyone can succeed.
I read that my lifelong dream is to serve as speaker with Hillary Clinton as president. So what?
We're sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress, and some very new members, who will no longer be serving with us.
Raising the minimum wage is the right thing to do, but it's a popular thing to do as well.
America must be a light to the world, not just a missile.
I was pampered in the fact that I had five older brothers, which I highly recommend to anyone.
Don't underestimate your opponent, but don't overestimate them, either.
