Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina announces her U.S. Senate challenge to Sen. Barbra Boxer (D-CA) in an Orange County Register op-ed:
"Admittedly, I have not always been engaged in the electoral process, and I should have been. 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 realize 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."
