First, I believe that Dean and I are the only two agents of change among the seven candidates in this race.  We both embrace change and innovation AND we can actually make it happen because neither one of us is dependent on DC to preserve our status or further our careers.  In other words, because we have not made our careers in DC, we can say "no" to the entrenched interests with no concern about social, professional, or
financial repercussions.

Second, my goal wherever I live is to move the progressive agenda forward and strengthen the Democratic Party at the state and local level
where the voters actually live.  I will do my duty, sir.
