Reid Hoffman

In order to maintain public trust in government, elected officials must answer for what they do and say; this includes 140-character tweets.

We have a responsibility as elected officials to do good public policy in the best interest of all the people.

Maxine Waters

The public are entitled to have an absolute guarantee of the financial probity and integrity of their elected representatives, their officials and above all of Ministers. They need to know that they are under financial obligations to nobody, other than public lending institutions, except to the extent that they are publicly declared.

When you use God as a means to procure public office, which almost all public officials do, to enact the things you want to enact, and tag God along for the ride, then you're breaking the third commandment.

Tripp York

Elected officials shouldn’t get to choose who gets to choose elected officials.

Lewis Black

Most elected officials don't want you to know about the world of political fundraising because they fear that it paints an unflattering portrait of public life.

Chris Murphy

The public is tired of politicians professing certain beliefs and not acting on those beliefs. They want elected officials who have the moral courage to do what they will say they will do when they're running for election.

Thomas Frank
