Women Politicians In The United States

"And just as we served for the last two years, we were representing the hard-working, taxpaying American citizen in Staten Island and southern Brooklyn that just wasn’t getting a fair shake"

"The pendulum has just swung too far to the left and people across the political spectrum see the need to restore a sense of balance, to have bipartisan representation because that's where you're going to develop the best policy in the middle ground"

"He doesn't want to address inflation. He doesn't want to address our open border. He doesn't want to address crime, which are the top three issues that people care about in the district, He wants to talk about an issue that doesn't affect one woman in New York, because we already have the most extreme law in the country"

"There's a lot of fear and concern about the future of our city, states are our entire country, and makes these elections that we have feel like they are life and death, and in many instances, they aren't with our rights, our well being the very essence of our democracy, at risk"

"That's what this race was always about, about stopping the disastrous policies that we've seen under one party rule at the state level, and at the federal level, and getting this country back on track"

"It's unfortunate, but it's a small price to pay for doing what's right for my district and for the country"

"I feel for my colleagues who have had to endure some of these horrific threatening phone calls. Look, we received many calls here. Most were not direct threats, it really shows how polarizing and toxic the political environment has become when an elected official is getting a threat over infrastructure - one of the things that everybody loves"

"I voted against certification of the two challenged states not to ‘overturn an election’ but to highlight need for a proper hearing into unconstitutional rule changes, irregularities and alleged fraud"

"That’s what this race was always about — about stopping the disastrous policies that we’ve seen under one-party rule. I’m very hopeful that we will see a balance come to both our state and our country tonight"

"The mayor has declared a state of emergency, but he has not called on the president to secure the borders and reinstate the policies of President Trump, remain in Mexico. That was working, and you have not either"

""The Right to Shelter law does not provide that New York City has to provide shelter to citizens of other countries. We have tens of thousands of homeless ourselves, and right now during the struggling economy, it's certainly this burden that's placed on people trying to keep roofs over their own heads"

"We need to have a balance. The pendulum has swung too far to the left. We need to restore the balance so we have commonsense policies to keep New Yorkers safe"

"My support for strong economic policies to get inflation under control, to ramp up energy production. Those are the things I believe that resonated because that's what's hurting everyday families"

"People, whether they're Democrats, independents, or Republicans, were saying that they desperately wanted to see a balance restored on a state and federal level"

"The economy, inflation, the energy crisis, and crime were the main ones. That’s where my campaign has been focused because I’m aligned with my constituents when it comes to talking about these very important issues"

"Everyone brings their unique experiences and background and history with them when they come to do this job. And I think what you have in this new Republican class whose families experienced socialism or communism and they don’t want to see that happen in the United States … we collectively have a story, a message that needs to be shared with the American people who think that socialism is a good idea. Because all it leads to is poverty, misery, lack of goals, dreams, and aspirations – and that is not what any freedom-loving American would want."

"Health-care access is poor, and the education levels aren’t great; and all of those things tend to, in my opinion, need the sort of programs that Democrats promote. But then the people here also are very strongly religious, the church is a very central part of everything that we do and all of our community activities, and so, of course, the pro-life message is the one that is heard here loud and clear. So, for my particular set of people and a lot of rural areas that need the benefit of these social programs, I think the pro-life Democrat is the way to go."

"Four of the most dynamic women of color in Congress – representatives Pramila Jayapal, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib – have endorsed Bernie."

"While the election of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress has received much attention, she is far from the only congressional victory we have achieved. In addition to Alexandria, strong young progressives like Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, and Chuy García, of Illinois, were also elected in 2018. They will join Pramila Jayapal, of Washington, and Nanette Diaz Barragán, of California, who were elected in 2016 with the strong support of the progressive community."

"It is outrageous. I am embarrassed for those Democrats who voted to censure their own colleague. Who voted against free speech. It is an embarrassment."

"We strongly believe that Israel’s response must take into account the millions of innocent civilians in Gaza who themselves are victims of Hamas and are suffering the consequences of their terror campaign. However this current conflict plays out, we feel strongly that the US government and the global community must continue the tough work to achieve lasting peace in the region. The future and safety of Israelis and Palestinians are intertwined. We cannot achieve lasting peace and security for Israelis without addressing the humanitarian crises in Gaza and the West Bank."

"We unequivocally condemn Hamas’ shocking and horrifying terrorist attack on Israel. This is the worst perpetration of violence inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Our hearts are with those who were tragically killed and their loved ones who mourn their loss. We also continue to hope for the safe return of those who were taken hostage by Hamas, including American citizens, and stand ready to support your Administration in bringing them home."

"As one of the 1 in 4 women in this country who have chosen to have an abortion, I am outraged & disgusted by the reported draft SCOTUS opinion."

"To the protesters, I stand in solidarity with you. Stay vigilant to what is happening around you, record instances of injustice with detail, and continue responding to violence with non-violence. You are on the right side of history."

"As I listened to some of you today, I was struck by this push to presume that these provisions would somehow be manipulated or used by people in ways that would hurt existing sex protections. It occurred to me that we are talking about fear versus love; we are talking about fear versus freedom."

"My beautiful, now 22-year-old child told me last year that they were gender nonconforming. The only thought I wake up with every day is: My child is free. My child is free to be who they are, and in that freedom comes a responsibility for us as legislators to protect that freedom."

"I am thoroughly shocked, yet not surprised, at the product that was delivered to the people of Arizona by the hands of Adrian Fontes regarding the 2020 General election. Although the raw numbers of votes show a similar outcome to the official canvass. The important outcome is that the votes that were counted could be trusted as actual and true voter submissions, according to Arizona State law. However, what we learned today that there was a myriad of issues with the counting process that undermine the confidence in the true and accurate count of this election. The election system simply does not balance. Some of the issues that jump out immediately to me are as follows: • Deleted / purged files - The timing and deletion of files the day before the 2/2/21 audit. Maricopa county purged the machine records the day before the audit started. Many .exe and .dll files (approximately 1500) were either deleted or modified. • No security or credential management. There were shared accounts and passwords which made the identification of those deleting or purging files difficult, but not impossible. • Duplicates ballots were grossly mismanaged, and our laws were broken regarding this important part of our election process. • Chain of custody was not accurately kept, making it impossible who touched what and when. • Envelopes without signatures, images of ballot envelopes with an apparent approval stamp behind the basic graphics of the envelop, suggesting tampering. • Connectivity to the internet has been established, in violation of Arizona law and contrary to what we have been told about the system. • Sloppy caretaking of ballots, missing batches in boxes, batches in boxes not listed on the box or county list. These are just a few of the many issues brought up today and necessitate a dramatic change in the way we oversee our elections, and how we hold those accountable who have broken our laws. Most importantly, whenever there is malfeasance and skullduggery, we must both nullify that election and repeat it with one more securely conducted, and we must move forward with indictments of hose who perpetrated this fraud against us."

"That’s not the proper procedure first of all, and that's not a legislation I support...More laws that are infringing on the Second Amendment rights of other Americans who are allowed is not the answer"

"When we are combating a deadly virus & vaccine hesitancy, this kind of rhetoric is dangerous. Showing proof of vaccination is not slavery or birtherism. We are too close to give ground to COVID. Science is science. It's pretty simple - Vax up and mask up."

"Anyone in a position of leadership should be using that position to build trust in vaccines"

"There's a long history in this country of people needing to show their papers During slavery, post-slavery, as recent as you know what immigrant population has to go through here we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of Boston or disproportionally impact [Black, Indigenous or people of color] communities hurdles facing communities of color with lower vaccination rates must consider our shared history as we work to ensure an equitable public health and economic recovery"

"No one should be forced to take the vaccine. The globalists are practicing for the Mark of the Beast."

"Zelensky is a globalist puppet for Soros and the Clintons."

"The audit has been referred to the Arizona Attorney General for further action."

"By forcing our military to vaccinate the franken-jab, #SleepyJoe is doing to them what they are fighting to defend against - tyranny around the world. And that joke of a Secretary of Defense is nothing more than a woke Communist. He needs to go."

"When they signed up to be a County Official, little did they know that by taking the oath that they would be ultimately responsible for what a national election could hinge on. Little did they know I mean little did I know when I ran for state senate that I would be in a pivotal role as a state senator, but of course, the US Constitution supports that fact that state legislatures are responsible, unequivocally, for Presidential Elections."

"If you look at the class that I’m a part of, the 2020 freshman class, anyone who flipped a seat was a woman, a minority, or a veteran. When I look at the makeup of our class, our class looks like America; that’s the message we’re taking across the country."

"I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth. So I apologize. And I'm really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well. But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

": Joni Ernst: People are not — Well, we all are going to die. For heaven's sakes."

": Audience member: People will die!"

": Joni Ernst: They're not, they are not eligible. So they will be coming off. So—"

"We are working on is blocking funding from ever going to the Wuhan Institute of Virology ever again, but then, also holding those accountable for not following federal guidelines, federal laws, and being transparent in how those grant dollars were spent."

"Are American voters ignorant, misinformed, or irresponsible? Or perhaps voting for a likeable guy, despite opposition to his policies? But this is not an election for Student Council President, and four more years of Ronald Reagan may be too late for us all."

"How about a Morris Dancer on the board, or a conservationist, teacher, or cabinetmaker? If an architectural historian had sat on the board would the Opera House have been so shamelessly torn down, to the profit of a few and the detriment of many, past and to come? If persons dedicated to farmland protection and ecological balance served in town government, would the debates on these issues proceed in a less defensive manner? And would priorities other than short-term advantage be seen in a clearer light? I believe yes."

"I think it's wrong, particularly for clergymen, to protect a child molester. This is a step backwards."

"In 1976 a legislator made a point of telling me women didn't belong in the legislature. I couldn't believe it."

"It's amazing how even with the language barrier women still communicate. You talk to women around the world and you find out we all have the same problems."

"I am liberal in that I believe we have a responsibility to care for the elderly, the poor, the handicapped and the mentally retarded. I support programs aiding these citizens. I am conservative in that when it comes to giving away taxpayers money on such things as the Heber Creeper."

"This year, I've had about half a dozen legislators tell me women really don't belong in the legislature, and they just can't vote for a bill with a woman's name on it."

"The Lord has gifted an individual with life, and no one else has the right to take that away from someone that hasn't developed a voice themselves."
