I read 'Lean In' at a really important time as I was deciding to run for office.

Elise Stefanik

When I was 27, having never run for office before, I decided to run for Congress.

Krystal Ball

Members of Congress are incredibly blessed and fortune to have the jobs that we have. Nobody makes us run. Every two years we offer for public office, and if you don't want to do it then don't run. But the notion that you can make $174,000 in this country and be underpaid is laughable.

Trey Gowdy

My mother at the age of 65 decided she was going to run for mayor. She had never run for public office, and she decided she wanted to try and do some things for the community.

Sylvia Mathews Burwell

We have elected officials who say they're going to run for office to serve the people. But in reality, they legislate themselves into wealth. They go into office, and after one, two terms, they're worth millions upon millions of dollars, and that has to stop.

Richard Ojeda

To teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country... if we don't, someone else will run our country.

Richard Dreyfuss

Anybody who runs for public office today has got to know his life or her life will be an open book. I've decided that if you want to run for public office you have to decide at the age of 5 and live accordingly.

Helen Thomas

Anyone can run for office. When I ran for Governor of Minnesota, the only requirement was that you had to be a state resident. I believe you had to be over thirty five years old, something like that. That's the way our country was founded. That anyone can run for office. That you're not required to be a lawyer, you're not required to be anything.

Jesse Ventura

I have a message for any young woman who is thinking about running for office and has ever attended a costume party... or done anything stupid on camera. Run for office. Fight for this country.

Krystal Ball

For somebody who's never run for office before, Donald Trump understands that old axiom, "Define yourself before you're defined."

Kellyanne Conway

Elective office is one of many ways to serve the community and the country. It's one that I would consider at some point.

Kerry Kennedy

I had a chance to go on the Supreme Court of the United States, and my whole family was more disappointed in my deciding not to do that than in my deciding not to run for president - much more.

Mario Cuomo

Civics is not only how to run the country before it's your turn to run the country; it is, in fact, the study of power, practical political power. And you must start that process at an age level when kids' brains are still open and malleable.

Richard Dreyfuss

Deciding what to be is more important than deciding what to do.

John C. Maxwell

Hillary had never run for office before, but she decided to give it a try. She began her campaign the way she always does new things, by listening and and learning. And after a tough battle, New York elected her to the seat once held by another outsider, Robert Kennedy.

William J. Clinton

I was still closeted, but from the day I decided to run for office, knowing that I was gay, I decided that I would, of course, still be closeted but that I would work very hard for gay rights. It would be totally dishonorable, being gay, not to do that. So I had that as kind of a secondary agenda.

Barney Frank
