Every day, I receive hundreds of letters from people across the country—letters that challenge me, inform me, and, most of all, inspire me.

Thank you for sharing your stories.

Over the holidays, I've returned to a few letters that have been on my mind.

To Nicholas, I'm proposing we make public college tuition-free for 80% of Americans. Instead of spending your mom's tax dollars on tuition for the kids of billionaires, we should spend it on helping middle class and working families.

To Angela, health care is a human right. But health care in America is too expensive, too complicated, and too frustrating. I’m working to build a more equitable and fair system for patients and providers like you.

To Patrick, I am so proud of you. Thank you for summoning the courage to be you and I hope you’ll write me again in the new year.

To Anu, as the son of an immigrant, this is personal for me too. Our system must reflect our values. Last week I released a policy to reform our broken immigration system: peteforamerica.com/immigration

When I ask folks to picture the day after this president leaves office, when the sun rises and our task of rebuilding this country begins, I’m not thinking about Washington.

I’m thinking about Nicholas, Angela, Patrick, and Anu.

I'm thinking about you.

Politics is about our everyday lives.

That’s why I’m running for president.
