Kirsten Gillibrand November Campaign Schedule

November 1-7th

Campaign Kicks Off in New Hampshire



"I'm honored to be here, in a state that has paved the way for women in politics. This state has given us the first all female delegation in the country, the only women elected Governor and Senator, and was the first state to be carried by a woman in a primary, and I hope to have the honor of repeating the success of women in this state. We are better than our current state of affairs, and New Hampshire will help pave the path to a brighter future for the United States."

Gillibrand campaigned around the state focusing on Medicare-for-All, a postal banking option, and protecting women's healthcare.

November 8-14th

Campaign heads to South Carolina, touring the state with stops in Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville.

"Our prison system is out of control. Private prisons have lead to mass incarcerations, quotas for prisons, cuts to rehabilitation programs, and a cycle that keeps people, particularly people of color, down and out of society. It is beyond time for us to end private prisons, decriminalize marijuana, and implement community policing to end the terrible practice of racial profiling. It's time to end the broken policy that has been exacerbated by Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions' Justice Department."

November 15-22nd

Campaign moves to Iowa, with a strong focus on trade.

"The trade policies pushed by this administration are killing the American farmer that makes up the people I know and love here in Iowa, and back home in Upstate New York. Protectionism is often dressed up as an idea to protect the everyday person, when in reality that's who it hurts the most. We can protect our economy without undermining the farmers that support our communities across this country. I promise to fight for fair trade deals that protect our jobs, the environment, and our interests, without pushing us into a disastrous game of chicken on the world stage."

Along with the rallies, Gillibrand tours local farms, speaking with locals about their concerns.

November 23-25th

Gillibrand stops in Nevada, with rallies in Reno, Carson City, and Las Vegas with a focus on immigration along with the modern importance of unions.

"I can't believe that part of our immigration debate is whether children should be ripped away from their parents, put in detention centers, and pushed through immigration court without a guardian. We need to simplify our system, allow a pathway to citizenship, and abolish ICE, reshuffling immigration back into the Customs Service under the Treasury Department."

November 26-30th

Thanksgiving with family in New York, followed by campaign stops in factories in farms upstate. Gillibrand pushes her agenda on trade and healthcare reform.

Kirsten Gillibrand Rolls Out Endorsements

In November, Governor Janet Mills and former Secretary of HUD, Julian Castro,  announced their support of Kirsten Gillibrand for President, using the month of December to campaign for her across Maine and Texas respectfully. (Forgot to post this endorsement)

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad, “Defender,” in Nevada, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina

“Since January 20, 2017, America has been lead by a divider. We’ve seen attacks on women, immigrants, minorities, and LGBTQ individuals.”



“We’ve had harmful tariffs, trade wars, and instability, but no solutions for every day Americans.”



“We need a leader, a change that our working class can feel.

Kirsten Gillibrand has spent her career in public service fighting for everyday people. She’s pushed for paid leave, lead the public fight against Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and been a champion for economic equality.”



“It’s time for leadership, progress, and fresh ideas. I’m Kirsten Gillibrand and I will work tirelessly to defend your rights and even out the economic playing field. It’s time to move past the pettiness of politics, and move towards solutions.”

Kirsten Gillibrand Debate Answers

“A mistake democrats make is not pushing forth a bold progressive agenda. I have already put forward a plan for economic equality, including paid leave, equal pay, a public banking option, and Medicare for All. The truth is, a strong economic message is a winning message, and I don’t plan on taking a single state for granted.”

You must be logged in to read this quote.

“My first 100 days will include immigration reform with a focus for a path to citizenship. I’m in Congress, and I plan on pushing my colleagues to do the right thing. Next, I will draft an equal pay legislation alongside paid family leave. We can not be the only industrialized country in the world without a paid family leave. Lastly, I’ll move to codify Medicare for All, as this legislation is so paramount to fixing our healthcare system.”

You must be logged in to read this quote.

“I’ll be honest, I find the premise laughable. This administration has divided this country in ways we haven’t seen in the modern era. Their trade policies have destabilized decades of low costs on goods around the country. Not to mention it’s attacks on anyone who doesn’t look like them, or have as much money as them. I’d prefer to spend our time talking about how we plan on fixing these challenges.”

“Yes, absolutely. It is time as a country to have an exit strategy. President Obama’s began one, but the current administration seems to only wish to be the Anti-Obama, even when he did something positive. We’ve put our service members at risk in the name of being the world’s police force. I would like to reimagine that goal to be the world’s firefighters, keeping us all safe and secure.”

You must be logged in to read this quote.

“My goal is to make an ambitious Democratic Party. We need a Democratic Party that looks like its constituents. That means more women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals in important positions. Mostly, my goal is for us to not be afraid to represent our people, protecting and expanding voting rights, healthcare, and equal right protections. We should not be fearful, but be bold in advocating for progressive social and economic justice, which will help defend everyday Americans from discrimination, from predatory business practices, and from attacks being thrown at them from the people in power. The Democratic Party should stand tall for all Americans.”[/list]

Kirsten Gillibrand Debate Schedule

December 1-7

Campaign in Nevada, including a joint event with Kamala Harris in Reno, followed by stops in Carson City, Las Vegas, and tours of rural manufacturing plants. The focus of this stretch will be the jobs guarantee and fair trade practices.



“I’m so happy to be here with my friend Kirsten Gillibrand. Since I joined the senate, she has worked tirelessly to show me the ropes alongside all of her other responsibilities as a Senator and mother, both jobs she handles with aplomb. She’s the best equipped candidate in the race to tackle the responsibilities of being president. She’s lead the fight against corporate donations, for the right for paid leave, and for all people to have a fair shake in this society. I’m so excited, just like so many of you, that we have someone in this race who will stand up for every single one of us.”

December 8-16

Campaign heads to Iowa, crisscrossing the state with the message of Medicare for All, fair trade, and a paid family leave policy. In between urban rallies, Gillibrand meets with local teachers’ unions to discuss education plans.

“The pathway out of this mess is right in front of us, promoting teachers and giving more education funding. We need to pay our teachers fairly, and give them the tools they need for their classes to be successful. We need Medicare for All to make our healthcare system fairer, as too many people go into poverty over healthcare. It’s time to end predatory practices in both education loans and in health insurance companies.”

December 17-21

Gillibrand heads to South Carolina, visiting nurses’ unions to talk about healthcare. Gillibrand’s team scheduled a joint rally with Kamala Harris in Colombia on the 21st. The two talk focus on criminal justice reform and ending privatization of prisons.

“This woman here knows a thing or two about criminal justice reform. She served as California’s attorney general and saw what happens when the little guy is stacked against a corporation. Our current system is unfair, police have to juggle so many responsibilities that of course they drop the ball. But, this is life or death here. We need to end mandatory minimums and begin community policing. No one should be fearful of law enforcement if they’ve done nothing wrong, and it is time our policy reflects that.”

December 22

Debate

December 23-31

Gillibrand spends the rest of the month in New Hampshire, continuing her momentum with speeches and rallies on a public banking option and paid leave. She takes advantage of the proximity to home to go back on Christmas and New Year’s Eve to be with her family.



“We have a system that has left behind the middle class, not to mention anyone who is just making by. If a family member gets sick, if you or a spouse gets pregnant, you are not guaranteed time off. This is ludicrous in a nation as wealthy as ours. Our families deserve to have us present, especially in a time of need. I believe it is paramount to pass paid family leave to ensure no one has to worry about what happens to their job if they need time to be a caretaker.”


Gillibrand sends out Christmas card to supporters
“Happy Holidays from my family to yours! In the new year, let’s keep up the fight for families all around the country.

Kirsten Gillibrand Rolls Out New Year Endorsements

Amy Klobuchar Endorses Gillibrand in Des Moines Rally



“Kirsten Gillibrand is not only a good friend and colleague, but she is the only choice for democrats this year. As a neighbor up in Minnesota, I can say that no one represents the concerns of the heartland like Kirsten. She’s the toughest person in the race, with an economic plan that makes sense. She understands, unlike this current administration, how trade impacts our rural communities, how we see the effects of tariffs first. I implore you to caucus with her next month and to continue to support her through November.”

Elizabeth Warren Announces Support For Gillibrand in Portsmouth



“As many of you know, I’ve suspended my campaign for President. Now, I know this isn’t what most of us expected when we got into this race, but we will persist. There’s only one candidate that will take on a broken system benefiting the top 1%. Only one candidate offers progressive solutions to modern day banking challenges, in the form of a public option. Only one candidate is qualified to take on a corrupt government full of wealthy individuals only out for themselves. That candidate is Kirsten Gillibrand, and I intend on doing everything in my power to get her nominated and then elected president!”

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad “Unbought” in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina

“Our politics has long needed reform, especially in terms of campaign finance. But, in the words of a great New Yorker, I remain unbought and unbossed. I’ve said no to PAC money, put forward legislation for public funding of elections, and remained transparent of the corrosive effects of money in politics.”



“If you want someone who you can trust to fight for your values, not the enrichment of special interests, then I’m your gal. I’m Kirsten Gillibrand, and I approve this message.”

“Our present economic reality is that you need internet access to have any shot at running a successful business. For too long, companies have been afraid to lay down the infrastructure for internet access in our rural communities, which is something I’ve seen all over upstate New York. I think it’s way past time that we lay down fiber like we lay down roads, allowing access to high speed internet in rural areas alongside our urban and suburban communities.”



Gillibrand’s campaign organized an RV tour around Iowa, visiting rural schools, hospitals, and farms, alongside urban enclaves.

Kirsten Gillibrand Speaks on the Iowa Caucus Results

 

“A big blow was dealt to the status quo in Iowa last night. The democratic establishment said, ‘You have no chance against a former Vice President and First Lady.’ The polls said, ‘You’re too far behind,you can’t win any delegates.’ Well we proved them all wrong! This campaign is built on all of you, and together we will build a progressive majority to build upon this momentum into New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and eventually the White House!”

We all have to chip in to be sure our rights are protected from attacks levied at us from the current administration. Kirsten has championed women, lgbtq individuals, and people of color in a way that ensures she will carry that fight into her administration.”

Jacky Rosen Announces Support of Gillibrand in Vegas Rally

I plan on working every day to get her elected, and I implore you to do the same!”

Gillibrand Ramps Up Ad Campaign Before NH Primaries

"Real Job" Runs in New Hampshire, Nevada, and online

"I never had an interest in being a mayor cause that's a real job. You have to produce."



"Isn't it a b*tch? This Vice President thing?"



After four failed years of leadership, we need a President who takes the job seriously, not one who sees it as a punchline for a joke.

"Honestly, nothing happens in Washington until real people stand up and demand action. And it takes real stories and people willing to put themselves out there — and real people to care. It takes enormous courage, but if people are willing to do it, they can actually change outcomes."



"If you’re fighting for something you care deeply about or trying to fight for equality or rights of those who are being disadvantaged or some kind of justice you have to fight, and its not always easy and people will disagree with you and it might be an uphill battle but that doesn’t mean you should stop fighting.”

"I'm Kirsten Gillibrand and I support this message."

"Transparency" Runs in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Online

Corporate PACs, dark money, and special interests have taken over our politics.



But, Kirsten Gillibrand has challenged the status quo. She has rejected corporate money, pushed forward bills to increase transparency in Congress, and worked to fight the corruption in Washington.



It's time to take on our broken system, with strong, transparent leadership.

"I'm Kirsten Gillibrand and I support this message."

Gillibrand New Hampshire Campaign Schedule

February 1st

Gillibrand Holds Joint Rally with Elizabeth Warren in Keene, NH

"The Postal Banking Act would absolutely change how we bank in this country. It would allow a strengthened Post Office, with a banking alternative for lower income individuals and rural communities. The fact of the matter is, we need legislation to protect those in society who are preyed on by lenders. My bill does that."

After the event, Gillibrand met with voters and discussed her policy positions.



Gillibrand moves to Manchester, rallying on healthcare reform and paid family leave.

February 2nd

Gillibrand Holds Town Halls in Merrimack, Hudson, and Goffstown on support for Medicare for All

No one in America should go broke because they or a family member gets sick, and this is the best first step toward preventing this."



Gillibrand spent the rest of the day touring Hillsborough County.

February 3rd

Gillibrand Tours Derry Public Schools, Meeting with Teachers to Discuss Education Reform

In Salem, Portsmouth, and Londonderry, Gillibrand holds rallies on trade and automation.

"I understand many in our communities have been displaced from their jobs in a post-NAFTA world, however, the problem here is automation. That's why we need a federal retraining program, as we did with textile factories decades ago, alongside ambitious programs like rural development of fiber so our communities can have internet access. I will fight these disastrous tariffs the Trump administration is pushing, and work for fair trade deals to strengthen our relationships around the world."

Our communities need all of the help they can get to combat these challenges, and this is a step in the right direction.

If it's not our children, then it's our parents, our spouses, or any other loved on. It's not enough to offer platitudes to people in these scenarios, we need to ensure that their bills are paid, there's food on the table, and that they are not punished for giving to another."

"But somewhere along the path, we lost our way."



"I'm running for President to pave a new path forward, inspired by those words we all know and hold dear. So children won't be separated from their parents, so the color of your skin doesn't dictate whether or not you can move forward in society, and so men and women can participate in the workforce without fear of harassment or assault."

"These tariffs not only harm our relationships with allies such as Canada, but also harm our workers due to retaliatory policies."
