I would immediately rejoin the Paris Accords and reassert U.S. leadership in the critical process of global diplomacy.

Our country desperately needs a president with a depth of global experience and an understanding of all the elements of our nation's power, from our economy and our diplomacy to the power of our ideals and our military, including its limitations.

In the military, we just don't leave fights.

It's like I learned in the military: the officers always ate last. When you're responsible for people, that's how it should be.

When leaders take back power, when they act as heroes and saviors, they end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and deeply stressed.

I ran for Congress in 2012 because I had had enough. Enough of career politicians, enough of political gamesmanship, and enough of the lack of leadership in Washington.

In our family business, the Edelman children must earn their way - there were and will be no promises without performance and leadership. That may lead to some skinned knees, but it is certainly the best way to learn life lessons.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.
