She wants education to be a priority, she wants us to be able to afford to educate our children, and be able to care for our parents in their old age."

• CA Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins: "Kamala Harris was presidential on that stage tonight. It is truly outrageous that womens' rights haven't been at the forefront of this primary, and I'm eternally grateful to Kamala for forcing people to pay attention.

She gave women, middle class families, and everyone who has been victimized by this presidency and big corporations, a seat at the table.

• The Honorable Jackie Weatherspoon, Co-Chair of the NHDP African American Caucus: "I agree with Kamala: justice is absolutely on the ballot in this election. Kamala's record of taking on big fights and winning is exactly what we need in this moment. She has shown her ability to take Trump and his associates who think the law doesn't apply to them to task, and I know Kamala will expertly prosecute the case against four more years of this horrible president."

• State Representative Patty Cornel, Vice Chair of the Manchester Democrats: "Tonight's debate made clear yet again that Kamala is absolutely the best candidate to beat Trump.

• State Representative Joelle Martin: "Kamala's strength was palpable tonight. She clearly explained how she is going to move the country forward through her clear-eyed and realistic proposals.
