All of the candidates on the stage have plans for health care— I have results. A decade before the current Medicare for All debate, I implemented a plan that covered over 98% of Massachusetts residents. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

So that they are free or at least affordable, public colleges and universities should be publicly funded. The retreat from this basic formula is the reason public higher education has become in many places as inaccessible as private institutions for many students. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

The frustration, alienation and even betrayal folk feel in farm country, in coal country, in small towns and suburbs across America today is remarkably like what I recognize from growing up on the South Side of Chicago. We are more alike than we know. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Our standing in the world, and our ability to get things done overseas, rises and falls with our ability to show the world that “we are who we say we are.” Our values of equality, opportunity and fair play are the ultimate source of our strength and credibility. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Changes that meet the scale of our national and global challenges, changes that last, will require more than indignation, however righteous it may be. Changes that last require leadership that can build bridges. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

I passed the Global Warming Solutions Act in 2008 to cut GHG emissions by 80% by 2050 - the most aggressive requirement in the country at the time. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Energy efficiency is a critical part of the solution. Under my leadership, Massachusetts was the most energy efficient state in the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We must address climate change, a flourishing innovation economy helps us do that. Rather than seeing the future as a threat, we can shape our own future, and we can do it in a way that expands opportunity for working people and communities who feel left behind. #DevalDebates — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

I’m running for president, and I’m not on the debate stage tonight— yet. But I want you to know where I stand on the issues so today, I laid out my plan for renewing the American Dream— and I hope you’ll take a look. https://t.co/Mnj1Bz75zO — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Join us tonight to connect with supporters, write holiday cards for veterans, and to learn more about our national volunteer leadership program. https://t.co/WGTYidSMLk https://t.co/HEmIObJ6Cc — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We need a Leadership Agenda to rebuild our power and influence in the world, for friends and foes alike, based on the strength of our diplomatic and intelligence capabilities, our military, our economy and our values. https://t.co/OipAZSTfoI — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We need a Democracy Agenda to enable our democracy to serve all people, not just the powerful and the well-connected, so that Washington produces the results citizens want. https://t.co/xwYuFavB4o — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We need a Reform Agenda to fix those big systems — including health care, immigration, criminal justice, and taxes — so that they align with our values and enable, instead of impair, the American Dream. https://t.co/akpZ1atAIi — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We need an Opportunity Agenda to grow our economy, create better jobs, create wealth for more people in more places, and create national wealth to reduce the national debt. https://t.co/iBcV3tXaBf — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

So today, I’m releasing my plan for renewing the American Dream. Our administration will be focused on four agendas-- all designed to help America keep her foundational commitments, to renew the American Dream, and to put it within reach of everyone, everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We’ve seen the American Dream grow further out of reach for more Americans in more places. In many ways, for many people, America has become less fair. That matters because freedom in America depends on equality, opportunity and fair play, hard won foundational truths. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

I have not been limited by the circumstances of my birth — because of my own efforts, because of the grace of God and many others, and also because government provided those things that helped me help myself. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

I have since been a civil rights lawyer and a business lawyer, a business executive and a two-term governor, and the founder of an impact investment fund. I have had a chance to raise a family, to own a home, to make a way for myself, and to help others. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

I have lived the American Dream. I grew up in poverty on the South Side of Chicago. I went to broken, overcrowded, under-resourced schools. Around me were broken playgrounds, broken street lights, broken families and broken lives — much of it the result of broken promises. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Real people don’t live their lives in policy silos, but at the intersection of multiple policy and personal choices; not in abstractions but at the point where policy touches us. I get that, and today, I’m releasing my policy agenda: a plan for renewing the American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

The House has made a grave and difficult vote, but it is the necessary decision for our country. President Trump‘s reckless actions have proven ill-intended. He will be held accountable for jeopardizing the wellbeing of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Representative Patrick Kennedy @PJK4brainhealth has been a champion for mental health advocacy, and I'm grateful to him for it. We need a health care system that recognizes mental health care as health care, period. https://t.co/KIVdePdfZM — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

The last few months I’ve spent my time talking with ordinary people that possess extraordinary ideas for America’s future. We need to reject false choices, and move forward together. https://t.co/PWtTlM9Fni — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Expect leadership on mental health from me as your president. In the same vein, expect leadership from my wife, Diane. Mental health coverage has to be covered by universal comprehensive health care. Thank you @MHforUS for inviting me to speak. https://t.co/C2zwWQEvWD — PolitiTweet.org

A fun stop at Gritz Cafe and Expertise Cosmetology Institute. It’s great to be in Las Vegas. https://t.co/5tGXTg1wzV — PolitiTweet.org

Other candidates have plans. I have results. Watch my full interview with @breakfastclubAM here https://t.co/9MvifCtDRS https://t.co/s2MvoK1G65 — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Great to join @cthagod and @djenvy on @breakfastclubam— many thanks for having me. Hope you’ll listen this AM. — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

We have learned to shout our anger and whisper our kindness — and it’s exactly upside down. We must learn again to shout kindness. Thank you @NHYoungDems for having me. https://t.co/56fr7PdIO4 — PolitiTweet.org

Deval Patrick @DevalPatrick

Great to be back in South Carolina— and even better to have Diane here with me on the trail. https://t.co/NeV6GgiJvV — PolitiTweet.org
