How did the party that elected the first black U.S. senator, the party that elected the first 20 African-American congressmen, how did that party become a party that now loses 95 percent of the black vote?

Rand Paul

Heaven's sakes, there's only one party which I call the Property Party. It's got two wings. One is called the "Republican" and one is called "Democratic." It is the same party so it makes no difference whether a Democrat's elected or a Republican's elected. The ownership remains the same.

Gore Vidal

And if I am elected, I promise the formation of a new party, a third party, a wild party.

Alice Cooper

If nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline, and even if unanimously elected, I should decline to serve.

William Tecumseh Sherman

There're a lot of places that I can serve. And I'm going to serve. I'm going to be fighting to rebuild the Democratic party no matter what. I'm going to be fighting to make sure the Democratic party is known among working people that we are their champion no matter what. So I'm looking for a place to serve.

Keith Ellison

If elected, I would not be the mere president of a party - I would endeavor to act independent of party domination and should feel bound to administer the government untrammeled by party schemes.

Zachary Taylor

When Trump was elected, there were three parties in Washington: the Trump party, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

Steve Schmidt

Well, first, if I am fortunate enough to be elected to the U.S. Senate, it won't be a party that will have elected me. It will be the people of California.

Carly Fiorina

The Chief Whip's job is trying to make sure that the Government - and MPs elected as part of the governing party - deliver the promises that they were elected on. That's a healthy part of the democratic process.

Geoff Hoon

I am honored to be elected by my peers to serve on the Board of the House Freedom Caucus as a freshman member of Congress. These men and women of faith serve with real conviction and are in Congress for the right reasons.

Lauren Boebert

When you nominate for a seat, the expectation is that you serve that district and serve that seat if you are elected.

Denis Napthine

The uniform I wear today is that of the United States Army. We do not serve any particular political party; we serve the nation.

Alexander Vindman

When Blair was elected leader of the Labour Party, he said, "New Labour is a new political party" - that was the phrase he used, and I'm so glad he said it because he set up his own party and I'm not a member of it.

Tony Benn

Those who serve in our armed forces do so from a profound sense of duty to secure liberty for their fellow Americans. They enlist to serve their fellow citizens who express their will through elected representatives, not an unaccountable defense establishment.

Joe Lonsdale

If there is to be responsible party government, the party label must be something more than a mere device for securing office. Unless those who are elected under the same party designation are willing to assume sufficient responsibility and exhibit sufficient loyalty and coherence, so that they can cooperate with each other in the support of the broad general principles, of the party platform, the election is merely a mockery, no decision is made at the polls, and there is no representation of the popular will.
