"I had a dream to become a mounted policewoman."
"I'd rather be a lady of the evening than a feminist."
"I would not waste time, as Senator Gillibrand does, on things such as dictating a national minimum driving age and sponsoring a 'National Day of Play.' I'd help New Yorkers understand that we get less in value from Washington than what we send there in taxes."
"I have been in private law practice in New York City, where my husband and I are raising our children."
"I've spent a great deal of time over the past decade as a caregiver for various family members. It gives me a perspective on the struggles that many New Yorkers face with illness, disability, health care, insurance difficulties, and trying to work with and also take care of family members."
"Public officials insult our intelligence and our goodwill when they paint rosy pictures about budgets, jobs, bipartisanship, and transparency, and alter their positions on issues simply to keep collecting their paycheck by never disagreeing or disappointing anyone."
"They're lots of good Americans here in New York who have common sense and who believe in free markets and free people and limited government under our Constitution. Those are the principles I've always stood for. I know they're right, and that's what I'm going to stand for."
"I am the candidate of tax cuts, repealing Obamacare, repealing Dodd-Frank, letting the markets work, coming up with patient-and-doctor-centered healthcare solutions instead of more big government - and just generally getting government off the backs of small businesses."
"The Democrats have concocted this whole phony 'war on women' narrative simply to mask their dreadful record on the economy and jobs."
"Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written."
"There are no George Baileys anymore."
"The America I love is slipping away."
"There is regressivity built into the tax code by virtue of its complexity."
"I'm kind of a small-town girl."

"Christians are being persecuted, not just in the Middle East but here in this country."
"If Roe v. Wade were overturned tomorrow, nobody would even notice, because the states are legislating their own laws about abortion, completely independent."
"Thinking of ourselves as members of 'this group' or 'that group,' I think that's a recipe for division."
"The thing is that Chuck Schumer, for all his power and influence, is a pretty pathetic figure. You go around New York State, and people make jokes about him and talk about how he shows up at the New York State Fair and has a staffer carrying a big sign saying 'Come meet Chuck Schumer.'"
"We have to have legal immigration, which has to be something that benefits our country."
"Looking at the history of our country, we have been and we are pro-immigrant, but we aren't going to be much of a country if we don't take care of our own people first and if we don't observe the rule of law."
"The #NeverTrump crowd is running out of steam - and time. All of its attacks - that he's as liberal as Hillary Clinton, anti-immigrant, or a con man who will say anything to be elected - have failed."
