“The fact is that I understand why people feel as they do, but I think it's much more about the values that you carry and then carry out. And As somebody who has stood up for a workers rights amendment and got it passed in the state of Illinois, who's stood up for LGBTQ and reproductive rights, somebody who's legalized cannabis, somebody who's raised the minimum wage in my state for people from $8.25 to $15. You know, I think it's about what do you stand for and what do you actually accomplish for people, not how much money you have.” (12:53–13:10)
