Carly Fiorina

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience of Carly Fiorina and her accomplishments in life.

Introduction

I. Being a woman in the workplace is always tough, you never know if you will get the respect that you deserve, and if you will be treated with the same admiration as your male colleagues. Carly Fiorina is a great example of this; she broke the mold of women rising to the top in the workplace. In 1998 she was named for the number one spot of “The Fifty Most Powerful Women in Business.”
II. I am going to be talking about Carly Fiorina and the accomplishments she has made in her life. Carly is a former CEO and currently an American Republican politician for the 2016 presidential election.
III. I had never …show more content…

She spent a few years as a commentator on Fox News, and then went on to help with Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008, but in 2009 she decided to run for senate. On the same year she ran for senate, Fiorina was diagnosed with breast cancer, she went on to take chemotherapy and have a double mastectomy. Also in the same year she lost her stepdaughter to overdose. Through all of this she still managed to campaign while going through chemotherapy, and won the Republican primary in 2010, but lost to Barbara Boxer.
B. Carly decided to announce her candidacy for president on May 4, 2015, and stayed loyal to the Republican Party.

(Transition: After discussing some of Carly Fiorina’s struggles in life, I will talk a little into her 2016 presidential campaign.)

III. Fiorina was initially seen as an underdog with no political experience in office, but she emerged as a frontrunner for the republican nomination. She won the Republican debate and was number two behind Donald Trump, and established candidates like Jeb Bush. A. Unfortunately in recent polls, like from the Wall Street Journal, has her at 7%, running behind the much-defamed Jeb Bush (The Wall Street Journal.com). This could be due to the fact that there has not been a Republican Debate for more than a month, because of the fact that almost every debate Fiorina has been in she has been the ultimately winner.

  • Nancy Pelosi Accomplishments

    I am choosing to write my essay focusing on Nancy Pelosi, arguably one of the most influential politicians of her time, and certainly one of the outstanding ladies of the political world. Not only was she the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House, she also was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame at Seneca Falls. She ranks with the most consequential speakers, certainly in the last 75 years.”(Burstyn) Nancy Pelosi was born on March 26th in 1940 and she has represented San Francisco for approximately 29 years. This however is not by far her most notable achievement, speaker of the house aside, under her guidance the 111th US Congress was said to be the most productive in the history of its conception. This means that she was able to oversee the 111th Congress in a manner that minimized the terrible three, collective action problems, commitment problems, and coordination problems. These problems all come down to the inability to make decisions, and are extremely ponderous to efficiency. She ran it as famously, even though the house was so divided when she took the pos...

  • Clinton V. Lazio

    933 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hillary Clinton, never having a legislative record, has been the First Lady to the President for 8 years. Clinton has been a resident of New York State for only a few months previous to the time she began running for office. Clinton is challenged by her opponent because radio and television ads seem to turn the public against Clinton. This is an example of Lazio criticizing her because of his negatively directed ads towards Clinton. Because Clinton has never been involved in a legislature before, she has no voting record. This could prove to be a disadvantage for Clinton because voters cannot see what she has previously supported. Hillary has an advantage in the election because the New York Times endorsed her. Being the most prominent newspaper in New York, this is a sign of success as the last two politicians endorsed by the NYT have won their elections. Another disadvantage that Clinton has is that she is not a born New York citizen. She has been “carpetbagging”, or buying property in a state just so she can run for office in the state. Hillary takes a firm stand on many of the issues facing New York State and the Congress today. Hillary Clinton’s views on abortion are that she supports the Roe vs. Wade ruling. This act was passed in 1973 when the US Supreme Court legalized abortion. She would vote to ban late-term abortion, unless the mother or child was threatened by the birth. Clinton would reject Supreme Court jurors who are opposed to abortion rights. Hillary also agrees with federal funds spent on abortions at military hospitals. Hillary acknowledges the competition between her and Lazio by retaliating to a comment he made by saying, “My opponent [Lazio] is wrong. I have said many times that I can support a ban on late term abortion including partial-birth abortions, so long as the health and life of the mother is protected”.

  • Shirley Chisholm: Catalyst for Change in American Politics

    754 Words  | 2 Pages

    When questioned about her political career, Clinton quipped, “‘I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas…but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession’” by running for office (237). Clinton continues to further the legacy of Chisholm and other trailblazing women by demonstrating her bravery in running for office. Still, as one Republican official described her, Clinton is often viewed as “‘grating, abrasive and boastful’” (236). Generally, female candidates are expected to be “more caring, compassionate, and emotional than their male counterparts, who tend to be seen as tough, assertive, and decisive” (Bauer). This issue is common among female candidates, and this expectation has certainly impacted Clinton’s campaign. Despite her background as Secretary of State, Clinton is continually questioned by her opponent about her strength. This constant doubt over fortitude is almost exclusively an issue for female candidates – and is one that has plagued Clinton’s political career, especially in this election

    In 2010 Republicans had an unusual opportunity to win the deep-blue Delaware Senate seat once held by Joe Biden. The vessel: GOP Rep. Mike Castle, a popular former governor and the front-runner. Enter Ms. O’Donnell. Fueled by tea-party enthusiasm and money, she trashed Mr. Castle as a liberal and beat him in the primary. After a general election that devolved into debates over gay service members, religion, creationism (and even witchcraft), Democrat Chris Coons blew out Ms. O’Donnell by 17 points.

    After being a witness to the outrageous behavior of the DNC, Tulsi Gabbard resigned from her position as vice chair and immediately endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders. This was a pivotal moment in the primary election because Gabbard weighed her values as more important than her prestigious political position. If she stayed with her post as vice-chair of the DNC, she would have been forced to stay neutral, but instead she “left the establishment to join the opposition” (Phillips), showing that she cares more about her personal truth than maintaining a comfortable status
