Runs for President
Fiorina announces her candidacy for president on Good Morning America, becoming the first declared female candidate to seek the Republican Party’s nomination.
Yes, I am running. I think I’m the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world; who’s in it.
She also criticizes Hillary Clinton saying she is “clearly is not trustworthy.”
She has not been transparent about a whole set of things that matter.
A video posted on her campaign website, carlyforpresident.com, starts with a shot of Fiorina watching Clinton’s campaign announcement video.
If you’re tired of the sound bites, the vitriol, the pettiness, the egos, the corruption; if you believe that it’s time to declare the end of identity politics; if you believe that it’s time to declare the end of lowered expectations; if you believe that it’s time for citizens to stand up to the political class and say enough, then join us.
Announces Senate run
Fiorina announces that she is running for the Senate seat currently held by Barbara Boxer from California.
For many years I felt disconnected from the decisions made in Washington and, to be honest, really didn’t think my vote mattered because I didn’t have a direct line of sight from my vote to a result. I realise that thinking was wrong. I now understand, in a very real way, that the decisions made by the Senate impact every family and every business, of any size, in America. This is what motivates me to run for the US Senate.
