National Education Association (NEA) Endorses President Biden

National Education Association (NEA) Endorses President Biden

Statement from Kevin Munoz, Spokesperson for Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign:

"For so many Americans, President Biden included, the people who’ve made the biggest difference in their lives are teachers. President Biden is honored to have earned the trust of the National Education Association's three million members. America's future and ability to win the economic competition of the 21st century starts at every desk, in every classroom, in every ZIP code in America. That is why the President likes to say that America's teachers are the single most important component of our future, and they deserve a raise, not just praise. The NEA stood with President Biden in 2020 and they're committed to finishing the job together because they have seen him deliver real results. From investing in teacher pay, to expanding Registered Apprenticeship Programs to address the educator shortage, to defending the rights of students to learn in environments free of gun violence, the President has proven that he stands with America's teachers and students."

Governor Asa Hutchinson's Formal Announcement for the Presidency of the United States of America

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery

Thank you for joining Susan and me on this special day.

This is a day in which our nation’s future . . . and my personal story comes together. Susan has been on this journey with me each step of the way. And Arkansas never had a better first lady.

Bentonville is a big part of my life story. But, so is Gravette where I grew up on a farm and learned the importance of family, faith, and community. I also learned hard work from my dad by cleaning out chicken houses and building fences. And my life story also includes Springdale, where I was inspired by teachers who pushed me to learn and it was in Springdale that my political awareness began with the nation’s divide over the Vietnam War and the struggle for civil rights.

But, let’s come back to Bentonville.

I was born in the old Bentonville Hospital; my first law office was across the square from where we stand today; I tried jury trials in this courthouse; I built Bentonville’s first FM radio station; I served as Bentonville’s City Attorney; and this is where Susan and I started our family and spent some of our happiest years living on 15 acres of rocks and hills west of town in a double-wide mobile home.

It was here on these steps, over 30 years ago, that I announced my run for the United States Senate. At that time Arkansas was a blue state and the Republican Party was pretty much non-existent. I stepped up to take on runaway federal spending; to fight for a strong national defense; to support the life of unborn children; and to unleash the private sector of our economy.

In other words, I ran as a conservative Republican when being a Republican was like having a career-ending handicap.

I continued to fight the establishment and over time . . . we won.

That was the beginning and since then I have been a consistent conservative through my time as leader of the party; in the U.S. Congress and as Governor.

And now, I bring that same vigor to fight another battle and that battle is for the future of our country and the soul of our party.

Today, I am announcing that I am a candidate for President of the United States.

In this campaign for President, I stand alone in terms of my experience, record, and leadership.

From Congress to DEA to Homeland Security, I have served our country in times of crisis.

As Governor of Arkansas, we cut taxes and created record surpluses.

We increased pay for teachers.

We reduced regulations; recruited industry, and the private sector grew by over 100,000 jobs.

My mettle has been tested.

It was tested when I put on a flak jacket and assisted the FBI Hostage Rescue Team in negotiating the surrender of an armed terrorist group.

My mettle was tested after the 9-11 attack when I was responsible for protecting the United States from another act of terrorism on U.S. soil.

And my mettle was tested once more as governor when I demonstrated how we can lead through a pandemic without closing down every business and shutting down schools.

When I had pressure from Washington and the national media to shelter in place, I said “no”.

And the result was that our businesses survived and we had more days of in-classroom instruction during the pandemic than almost any other state. Yes, that’s right . . . we beat Florida!

This campaign is about courage.

It is about making the tough decisions to rebuild our economy; to give peace a chance through America’s strength, and to renew the American spirit of freedom . . .

Opportunity . . .

and the rule of law.

And we’ve got our work cut out for us. Let me offer some solutions.

First, we need to get our economy back on track.

The Biden Administration has turned its back on the American worker. To turn our economy around we have to stop the “break-the-bank” federal spending that has led to high inflation and rising interest rates.

Every hardworking American family gets a double hit from the Biden economy. Their paycheck doesn’t go as far, and they are paying more on car loans and credit card debt because of the high-interest rates.

That is not acceptable.

I have been Chief Executive of our state for 8 years and that means I know how to balance a budget. I did it every single year.

And while I was in Congress, we balanced the federal budget and it is high time we did it again.

And that’s just the beginning of what we must do together to bring out the best of America.

We must secure our Southern border. We need a pro-growth energy policy that is not focused on limits but on production. We should not limit American growth but rather we should unleash our energy producers.

And if America is to be the best; then we cannot yield to China in terms of global leadership.

When the Biden Administration conducted its disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, we left our friends abandoned and our allies confused.

America looked weak and that weakness was seen as an opportunity for Russia to invade Ukraine and then for China to threaten and be aggressive toward Taiwan.

Let me assure you that as President, I will bring out the best of America . . . we will stand with our allies and friends. We will not abandon our friends in times of need.

There are some who want the U.S. to disengage from the world and to isolate ourselves.

Isolationism only leads to weakness and weakness leads to war. Americans want peace and the best way to secure and preserve peace is to have the most prepared military in the world.

Today’s threat is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I join with those who say we do not want an unending war in Ukraine, and the best way to avoid a long war is to help Ukraine win today.

As a nation, we have proven resilient in our democracy and we have endured through times of war and hardship. And I am confident we will even survive through the destructive policies of the Biden administration but the time for change is now. It is time to bring out the best of America.

As a nation, our democracy’s resilience comes from our shared values and it comes from our willingness to sacrifice for the cause of freedom. We need leaders who understand the importance of democracy to our own freedoms and that with God’s blessing, we set an example of liberty throughout the world.

America is democracy’s lighthouse. We must not let the light be dimmed.

If freedom’s light goes out in the United States then other countries will have their freedom shipwrecked on rocky shoals. Our democracy demands America’s best and I will bring out America’s best.

We will do this through leadership, economic growth, and respect for the rule of law.

The Biden Administration has stood on the sidelines and passively watched as rampant crime destroys our cities with smash-and-grab robberies and a flagrant disrespect for human dignity and the rule of law.

This must change.

What separates the United States from the rest of the world is our commitment to justice.

The rule of law is the foundation for peace in our communities. I am the only candidate running for President with a breadth of experience in law enforcement.

I will enforce the law and demand that local prosecutors do the same. Lawbreakers must be held accountable. Restoring respect for the law will not only reduce crime in our country; it will also bring out the best of America.

These are solutions that work for America.

The rule of law also applies to our southern border. I have three words that will work to protect our country from the human suffering that results from an open border. That is “enforce the law”.

I know how to do this because President George W. Bush tapped me to help lead the Department of Homeland Security. Our nation is a land of immigrants who make up the fabric of our democracy. In order to respect those who follow the legal path to come to this country, we must reform our asylum laws; devote more resources to support our border patrol; quickly remove those who come into our country illegally; and go after the cartels who are killing Americans with the deadly drug fentanyl. When fentanyl is the leading cause of death for those 18 to 49 then we are losing our sons and daughters way too soon.

There are a few misguided leaders who say we should defund the FBI. I am here today in support of our law enforcement heroes. The argument to defund police is designed to undermine our rule of law.

We should not defund the FBI, but we do need serious reform to refocus the core functions of our federal law enforcement.

As someone who has worked with all the federal law enforcement agencies, I know what needs to be done. We must make them more focused, more accountable, and successful in protecting our citizens.

The FBI needs to be trimmed down and focused on its number one duty . . . leading our counter-terrorism mission. And when we support our law enforcement and enforce the rule of law we bring out the best of America.

Growing up in these hills, I learned the value of work. I hauled hay; worked in four different factories; sacked groceries; and through college, I was a janitor cleaning campus buildings.

All to pay the bills and to get an education.

In law school, I benefited from the federal student loan program. And, yes, I paid my loan off!

In order to bring out the best of America, we must once again embrace the dignity of work! Our federal government should not reward those who sit at home when they have the ability to work and provide for themselves.

As Governor, I turned down federal assistance that discouraged a return to work. But the Biden Administration paid people more benefits to stay home than they could make working.

This is wrong.

As President, I will open doors for more worker training and better pay and we will require work for able-bodied welfare recipients.

This will grow our manufacturing workforce and we will prove that we can still make things in the United States.

An important solution to this challenge is lifting the penalties for those who want to stay in the workforce after the age of 62.

Right now, if you retire on Social Security, you are penalized for continuing to work. You should be able to both claim social security and work. Remove the penalties and let those who want to work continue to do so without government penalties.

Right now we have nearly 10 million job openings in the U.S. and by making this change we will add millions to the labor pool and increase the income of retirees at the same time. Yes, this will help bring out the best of America!

And when it comes to those who depend upon Social Security and Medicare, I will assure its strength and reliability into the future.

Right now, Social Security is financially stable until 2033. Medicare is stable until 2028. As we have successfully done in the past, I will immediately convene an independent Commission to Assure the Future of Social Security and Medicare.

This Commission will be modeled after the 1983 Commission that was chaired by Alan Greenspan. It led to legislation that successfully extended the life of these vital retirement programs for Americans.

Americans need to have confidence in their future and this action will stabilize and assure the future of a supplemental retirement program Americans depend upon.

As Governor of Arkansas, I expanded access to computer science education. It was a priority of mine and the result was going from 1,100 students who took computer science to over 23,000.  We went from 20 certified teachers to over 650 who are certified to teach computer science. We made it required to be offered in our rural schools as well as our urban schools. The result is that Arkansas led the nation in computer science education and made a real difference in the opportunities for young people.

It is critical that we follow this model as a nation if we are going to compete with Communist China. The fact is that U.S. test scores in math and science are falling behind other countries. The top 5 math scoring countries are in Asia and the United States places 11th as a nation in terms of math education. We must do better for our students.

As President, I will expand computer science education into every grade school and high school.

I will focus our higher education to produce more engineers and scientists. And when we do, we can not only compete with China but we will bring out the best of America!

We can once again define America’s future with the genius and creativity of our people.

Too often, our businesses and families are held back by a federal bureaucracy that is out of control, heavy-handed and wasteful. As President, I will reduce the federal civilian workforce by 10%!

You can believe me when I say I will do this because I have done it. In Arkansas, I reduced the state executive workforce by 14%. And there is a lot more room for improvement in Washington.

We will reduce the burden of government; we will lower the federal deficit, and we will unleash the power of the private sector.  Our families will have more to spend and save for their children’s future.

Both Democratic and Republican Administrations bear responsibility for our current $31 Trillion national debt. I would like to say we will be “Debt Free in 33”. Well, it might take longer; but we must start.

I am from the heartland of America.

I am the son of Malcolm and Coral Hutchinson who were married during the Great Depression, who served our country during World War II, and who sacrificed to make sure their six children had a chance to live their dreams and to be all that God required of them.

They taught me that we are all equal and we all struggle in life. And because we struggle we need grace and compassion toward others. It is my hope that those farmland values will once again guide our nation and bring us closer together.

And if you look at our history, the United States of America has been challenged in every generation from threats abroad to civil unrest at home. And when we are tested we grow stronger. 

We have learned that in times of turmoil, uncertainty, and division, America has always benefited from leaders who challenge us and give us hope. I am confident that America is ready to seek new frontiers; and that we are ready to channel the restless waves of our democracy into more freedom and more prosperity for those who follow after us.

I am running for President because I know that the best of America is ahead of us.

There is behind me, on the Courthouse wall, a statement that is the foundation of our nation: “Sovereignty rests with the people.”

This means that you will decide the direction of our nation.

The fate of the world’s greatest democracy is in your hands.

Thank you and May God Bless the United States of America!

Biden for President Releases First Ad of 2024 Cycle

Biden for President Releases First Ad of 2024 Cycle
“Flag” Is First of Two Ads in a Two-Week, Seven Figure Buy
Ad Will Run Across Six Battleground States

Today, Biden for President announced its first ad of the 2024 cycle, building upon President Biden’s campaign announcement calling on all Americans to stand up for personal freedoms. President Biden spent his first term fighting for freedom, for more rights not less, and for our democracy – and he’s running for reelection to finish the job for the American people.

President Biden and Vice President Harris have shown they can deliver historic results, from creating more than 12 million jobs to leading a manufacturing boom and making the largest infrastructure investments in seven decades. They are running to grow the economy from the middle out and bottom up, not the top down; to protect a woman’s right to choose; to lower child care and prescription drug costs; and to protect Social Security and Medicare.

The ad is the first of a two-week, seven-figure buy that will run on national cable channels in key battleground states and markets. The states and markets for the first week include: Arizona: Phoenix, Tucson; Georgia: Atlanta; Michigan: Detroit, Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo, Lansing, Flint-Saginaw; Nevada: Las Vegas, Reno; Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre-Scranton; Wisconsin: Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Madison. The media buying strategy reflects a campaign that’s optimizing for reach – buying across a broader set of markets to go deeper into states and reach more voters. The campaign will release its second ad next week.

In 2020, President Biden and Vice President Harris assembled a broad and diverse coalition that resulted in the most votes in American history for a presidential ticket. Coming off of the best midterm for a sitting president since FDR, including key wins in these six states, they will do it again in 2024 and prevail over the MAGA extremist agenda.

Watch “Flag” HERE.

Full Transcript of Ad:

Narrator: “As the sun rises, we raise the flag – a symbol of all that we hold most dear as Americans. Courage, opportunity, democracy, freedom: they’re the values and beliefs that built this country and still beat in our hearts.

But they're under attack by an extreme movement that seeks to overturn elections, ban books, and eliminate a woman's right to choose.

Joe Biden has made defending our basic freedoms the cause of his presidency: the freedom for women to make their own health care decisions, the freedom for our children to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, for seniors to live with dignity, and to give every American the freedom that comes with a fair shot at building a good life.

In small towns and big cities, we raise our heads, our eyes, our hearts, for America – for the idea of this great country.

Joe Biden is running for re-election to make certain that the sun will not set on this flag.

The promise of American democracy will not break.”

Biden: “Democracy must not be a partisan issue. It's an American issue. As your president, I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being and I'm asking every American to join me.”

Narrator: “For freedom, for democracy, for America – Joe Biden.”

Biden: “I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.”

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris Announce Reelection Campaign

President Biden and Vice President Harris Announce Reelection Campaign
Biden names Campaign Manager and Campaign Co-Chairs Exactly Four Years After Launching 2020 Bid

Today, President Joe Biden announced his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2024 Presidential Election. In a video released today titled “Freedom,” President Biden harkened back to his 2020 campaign message when he described the country in a battle for the soul of the nation. Today the President said that the battle continues in the face of extreme MAGA Republicans who are focused on taking away Americans’ rights and dividing the country. The President called on all Americans to stand up for our personal freedoms, saying every generation faces a moment when we’ve had to defend democracy, and this election is ours.

Today’s announcement from President Biden comes four years to the day after he announced his 2020 candidacy on a platform of restoring the soul of our nation, rebuilding the backbone of the country – the middle class – and uniting the country.

“When I ran for President four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America – and we still are. The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer,” said President Biden. “I know what I want the answer to be. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for reelection. I know America and I know we are good and decent people. I know we are still a country that believes in honesty and respect, and treating each other with dignity. We’re a nation where we give hate no safe harbor. We believe that everyone is equal, and that everyone should be given a fair shot to succeed in this country.”

President Biden continued: “Every generation of Americans has faced a moment when they’ve had to defend democracy, stand up for our personal freedoms, and stand up for our right to vote and our civil rights. This is ours. Let’s finish the job.”

Today, President Biden also announced initial campaign leadership. Congresswoman Lisa Blunt-Rochester, Congressman Jim Clyburn, Senator Chris Coons, Senator Tammy Duckworth, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer will serve as the campaign’s national co-chairs.

Julie Chávez Rodríguez will serve as Campaign Manager and Quentin Fulks will serve as Principal Deputy Campaign Manager. This team forms the backbone of a campaign that will be focused on building and expanding on the coalition that sent President Biden and Vice President Harris to the White House in 2020 with more votes than any Presidential ticket in our country’s history.

“This election is a generational moment for Americans across the country to stand up and fight for our democracy and freedoms. To win this fight, we need strong leadership that can build and expand our broad, diverse coalition from 2020,” said President Biden. “With this team leading the charge, we’ll be able to do just that. Julie and Quentin are trusted, effective leaders that know the stakes of this election and will bring their knowledge and energy to managing a campaign that reaches all Americans. Our campaign co-chairs are hardworking public servants that have dedicated their lives to making Americans’ lives better. I’ve been able to count on each and every one of them throughout my career, especially in the most challenging moments. Together, this team brings the expertise, leadership, and work ethic required to win this election and finish the job for the American people.”

“This is a pivotal moment in our history,” said Vice President Kamala Harris. “For two years we have made transformational investments to build a nation in which everyone can be safe and healthy, find a good job, and retire with dignity. In response, extremists have intensified attacks on basic, foundational freedoms and rights. For example, they want to take away a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body. They attack the sacred right to vote and attempt to silence the voice of the people. And they try to block common sense reforms to save lives and keep Americans safe from gun violence. The Republicans running for President want to take our country backwards. We will not let that happen. Just like we did in 2020, we must come together to fight for our democracy, continue to make progress, and make sure all Americans can get ahead and thrive. Joe and I look forward to finishing the job, winning this battle for the soul of the nation, and serving the American people for four more years in the White House.”

Additional Background on Campaign Leadership:

Julie Chávez Rodríguez, Campaign Manager

Julie Chávez Rodríguez currently serves as Senior Advisor to the President and White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. In her role, Chávez Rodríguez works directly with governors, mayors, and local officials across the country to mobilize their support on critical Biden-Harris Administration priorities, as well as leading the White House’s coordination on emergency response efforts. Chávez Rodríguez is also the highest ranking Latina in the White House. Chávez Rodríguez is a trusted and longtime Democratic aide, having previously served as Deputy Campaign Manager on the 2020 Biden-Harris Campaign, working in various senior roles for then-Senator Harris and her Presidential campaign, and in several roles in the Obama-Biden Administration. A native of California, Chávez Rodríguez is the granddaughter of labor leader Cesar Chávez, and is a longtime advocate for women, labor, and Latino issues.

Quentin Fulks, Principal Deputy Campaign Manager

Quentin Fulks is a Democratic strategist, most recently serving as Campaign Manager for Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock’s 2022 successful reelection campaign, the first reelection of a Democratic Senator in Georgia in more than three decades. Prior to that, Fulks served as Deputy Campaign Manager and Senior Political Advisor to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, flipping the Governor’s seat from Republican to Democrat in 2018. A Georgia native, Fulks has also served in positions at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, EMILY‘s List and Priorities USA.

Full Transcript of ‘Freedom’ Campaign Launch Video:

“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred.

That’s been the work of my first term: To fight for our Democracy. This shouldn’t be a red or blue issue. To protect our rights. To make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally. And that everyone is given a fair shot at making it.

But around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away. Cutting social security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.

When I ran for President four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are. The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer.

I know what I want the answer to be and I think you do too. This is not a time to be complacent.

That’s why I’m running for re-election.

Because I know America. I know we are good and decent people. And I know we are still a country that believes in honesty and respect, and treating each other with dignity. That we’re a nation where we give hate no safe harbor. And we believe that everyone is equal, and that everyone should be given a fair shot to succeed in this country.

Every generation of Americans has faced a moment when they’ve had to defend democracy. Stand up for our personal freedoms. Stand up for the right to vote and our civil rights.

And this is our moment.

So if you’re with me, go to JoeBiden.com and sign up. Let’s finish this job, I know we can.

Because this is the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do if we do it together.”
