Good morning, everyone. Thank you jamie, thank you eric, thank you to all of my friends here. It is such a privilege to be here with you today among family, among a great stable of candidates. And i know weily will leave here united today. No doubt about that. I must tell you this is a humbling moment for me. Only in america can the son of immigrants and a pell grant kid who worked through college on the back of a trash truck picking up a golf balls, should have used a helmet, to have the opportunity to make a difference at this scale under barack obama and others. Only in america and only in the Democratic Party. You know what . We are the party that turns hardship into hope, doubts into jury, the party of inclusion and opportunity. We make sure inclusion and opportunity is in every zip code for everyone. Dr. King gave a speech in atlanta where he asked a simple and critical question, where do we go from here . How do we fight for shared values, continue the march for jobs and justice, fulfill this nations promise for opportunity for everyone . The Democratic Party is asking that question, where do we go from here . We are suffering from a crisis of confidence and relevance. We need a chair that can take the fight to donald trump. Make sure that we talk about our positive message of inclusion and opportunity. We need a chair that can lead turnaround and changed the coulter of the Democratic Party and dnc. Culture change has a number of dimensions. All of them are essential. We must redefine the roles that we are not simply electing the president , but electing from the school board to the senate in all of the states and territories from democrats, making sure we elect democrats. The way we do that is to build strong parties, organize, organize, organize. We need a chair that can lead turnaround, change, and cold truly and at scale. And change, culturally at scale. The button says team tom. The most important word on that button is team. If elected i promise you will all be a part of that team. Good leaders are great listeners. You will always have my year and i will always have your back. You will always have my ear and i will always have your back. But me repeat this, you will not be underutilized. You will have input in everything we do. The most important question you will hear from me is what do you think . We will plan strategy together. We will lift each other up together. We will plan the partys future together. We will take on donald trump and the far right republicans together. We will elect democrats up and down the ballot. This is not the first time i have confronted the challenge of bringing people together. I have the utmost respect for the challenge ahead and the importance of a team. You know what . You cannot go bowling alone and succeed. We must bowl together. That is what we will do as a party. We have a couple hours before we make this vote. No matter who wins, we will cross the finish line together. A united Democratic Party is our best hope, and Donald Trumps worst nightmare. We will be there with hope, hard work, and a hell of a lot of organizing. We will turn this party around and get democrats winning again. I appreciate your help, and i look forward to your support. I ask for your vote. [applause] hey democrats. Hey democrats. You know, i just want to tell you all that you are the very best hope for the American People in this moment. You are the ones who can bring comfort to people fearing a ban or a wall, people fearing losing their social security. You are the ones who are going to stand up, rise up and protect the American People. The American People need us in this moment because there are a lot of people who can organize on march and i go to a lot and i recommend you do to but i want to tell you this, you all can elect the next chair and vice chairs and the structure of the Democratic Party to lead us into a future that will win elections
