I am not afraid of tough fights against bad actors and powerful interests.
Because I have won.
For decades as a prosecutor and as the top law enforcement officer of our biggest state, I won fights against big banks that ripped off homeowners. Against for-profit colleges that scammed veterans and students. Against cartels that trafficked in guns, drugs, and human beings. And against predators who abused women and children.
I did this work because for as long as I can remember, I have always had an instinct to protect.
There’s just something about people being treated unfairly, or overlooked, that’s always gotten under my skin.
It is what my mother instilled in me—a drive to hold accountable those who use their wealth or power to take advantage of people. To protect hard-working Americans who aren’t always seen or heard and deserve a voice.
That is the kind of president I will be.
