“Fired up. Ready to go!” Edith Childs understands the power of a single voice, and she used those words to light up a room during my campaign stop in Greenwood, SC back in 2007.

I recently caught up with Edith, who just retired after 24 years in public service. Take a look: pic.twitter.com/IhW6pqnAQR

15 years ago today, our campaign won the Iowa caucuses. I’ll always be grateful to the people who organized across the state, and built the relationships that made it all possible.

I recently sat down with six organizers to talk about that time and what they’ve been up to since. pic.twitter.com/2fghTvMdLn

Georgia, I’m here today for a simple reason: to ask you to vote. Because, once again, this is not an ordinary election. The stakes are higher. So vote for Democratic candidates who will fight for you. pic.twitter.com/6u14yhCYeS

President Obama knows the importance of reaching young people where they are — and that’s on TikTok.

So we worked with @TheDemocrats and some fun creators to do just that.

It’s only been a couple of hours, but this video already has almost 3M views, 786k likes, and 28k saves. pic.twitter.com/jUiCjbnDBb
