As a young courtroom prosecutor in Oakland, California — I stood up for women and children against predators who abused them. As attorney general of California, I took on the big banks — delivered $20 billion for middle-class families who faced foreclosure and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation. I stood up for veterans and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges — for workers who were being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due — for seniors facing elder abuse. I fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings — who threaten the security of our border and the safety of our communities. And I will tell you, these fights were not easy and neither were the elections that put me in those offices. We were underestimated at practically every turn, but we never gave up, because the future is always worth fighting for. And that’s the fight we are in right now: a fight for America’s future.
