Today a full-time minimum wage job in America will not keep a momma and a baby out of poverty and that is wrong and that is why I am in this fight," the Senator told the San Diego crowd.

She said in our current structure of government, politicians work for and answer to billion dollar cooperations, not working families. She also said every decision made in Washington is influenced by money.

"[The decision] has been shaped by money. It has been affected by money. That is corruption, and that is why I'm in this fight," she said.
