The theme for the third day of the Democratic National Convention is "Working Together." Previous speakers included Vice President Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg.

Hogue ends with, "We need a president who knows a woman's rights are human rights" -- a Hillary Clinton line.

Next up is Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who reflects on his life -- born the fifth of seven children. His parents -- a construction worker and a bus driver -- worked hard to give them opportunities.

He says his grandmother told him to get an education and "bring it home" -- for his baby sister or a friend down the street.

Gillum says he is a father and he and his wife are raising 2-year-old twins.

"So when I head to the voting booth, they are coming with me. Because I want them to know that I'm not just casting my vote for Hillary Clinton and my fellow Democrats, I am casting my vote for them," Gillum says.

"Ensuring the kind of future they deserve requires leadership that will unify and inspire us," he says.
