Key Statements

"Barack Obama was a law professor of mine, and he has been helpful over the years helping me think about things and certainly through law school."

"President Obama, he's a great guy, but we all had a chance to get to know him much better when I worked on his early campaigns. He ran for state senator first, so a number of us spent our weekends walking the South Side of Chicago in his district, getting people to sign petitions so he could run for state senator and then supported him in his other campaigns."

[Referring to DEI] "So it is one of the areas that I am for the rest of my career in this industry and at United, most excited about. Because I think that we are at a place where if we are really deliberate and focused, that we can make a difference for generations to come in the next five to ten years. And that is exactly what I intend to do, along with the other executives at United who are just as committed to it."
