ABOUT CARLY FIORINA

Carly is a courageous and thoughtful leader with a track record ofdelivering the kind of transformational changewithin bureaucraciesand within industriesthat our politics and policy makers need.Her unique background makes her a compelling voice within theconservative movement.
NEWT GINGRICH, former Speaker of the U.S. Houseof Representatives

One of Carlys greatest strengths is that she has never served in electedoffice. Her frame of reference was shaped by the real world, not politics.
TOM COBURN, former U.S. senator (R-Oklahoma)

[Carlys] commonsense approach and sharp business skills makeher exactly the kind of leader we need.
SENATOR JAMES M. INHOFE (R-Oklahoma)

Carly embraces and advances the rights of women and unborn children,following in the footsteps of the earliest women in politics. Susan B.Anthony and the early feminists understood, as Carly Fiorina does, thatundermining the rights of one never advances the rights of another.
