We need to look through the lens of disparities whether it's with health or housing or other issues for the LGBTQ community. It's beyond just marriage, right? We need to get into that mindset in terms of where are these disparities and how do we address them.

A lot of people told me I should be quiet about being bisexual and not say anything, but for me this is a part of my identity.

I think there are phrases that are exciting to a certain group within the Democratic Party but scare the crap out of other people.

I think a lot of politicians want to focus on the things that make them qualified for the job; the truth is no one's ready for the job of member of Congress until you're there.

On both sides of my family, my grandparents grew up in total poverty and came to California during the Great Depression. The only way they were able to work their way out of that was by joining the military, which is how they both went on to be able to go to college.

It's very easy to vilify someone when they're objectified. The right wing did it to Nancy Pelosi for years and years and years.

When I was a kid, both my mom and my dad worked night shifts, so we would spend a lot of time at my grandfather's house. He taught at UCLA and was just really into history. Before bed, when other kids heard fairy tales, he would tell us about the American founding fathers and the beginning of democracy.

I grew up riding horses and one of the most important things I learned was that when you fall off, you have to get right back up in the saddle.

The perspective of people who truly believe that abortion is wrong. I understand that, I'm empathetic to that, I get it. But the place where I think we need to come to some kind of an understanding is that... you have your ability to have your own beliefs but the government doesn't play a role in that.

The federal government has no business in restricting basic human rights based on sexual orientation, and I am ready to protect equality at every turn in Congress.

I've been so impressed with the kinds of thoughtful questions that I've gotten from young people, from Girl Scouts, from teenagers.

Playing nice isn't really something that's in my vocabulary. I just do what I think is right.

If you're trying to appeal to my generation you've got to be honest.

We need to really be careful to not just be responsive to whatever happens with Trump, but to be proactive on things people elected us to do.

Katie Hill

I will not allow my experience to scare off other young women or girls from running for office. For the sake of all of us we cannot let that happen.

Katie Hill

Immigration customs enforcement is a role that makes sense. We have to have something that is doing that.

Katie Hill

You don't wait for somebody to give you something. Then it's not going to happen.

Katie Hill

There is no comparison to me and Nancy Pelosi. On most of the issues I'm going to be more progressive, but I'm going to look at it from the lens of what is best for my community.

We need to look through the lens of disparities whether it's with health or housing or other issues for the LGBTQ community. It's beyond just marriage, right? We need to get into that mindset in terms of where are these disparities and how do we address them.

Katie Hill

I've identified as bisexual since I was a teenager, and if we want to achieve equality for all in our policies, we need more voices from the LGBTQ community in Congress.

One of the things we need to do is address mental health care as an integral part of primary care. People often aren't able to navigate a separate system, so you see successful models where a primary care physician is able to identify, diagnose, and concurrently help people get mental health treatment who have mental health issues.
