I am John Cabell Breckinridge, a dedicated public servant who has tirelessly represented the great state of Kentucky in Congress and as Vice President of the United States. Throughout my career, I have upheld the principles of the Democratic Party and fought for states' rights, including taking a firm stance against interference with slavery. My service in the Mexican-American War and my time in the Confederate Army during the Civil War reflect my commitment to defending the values I hold dear.
