We need elected officials who care more about policy than politics.

Christine Todd Whitman

Our elected officials must understand that we, the American people, expect them to perform the duties of their office, even when that means working with other elected officials from different parties.

Reid Hoffman

The biggest accomplishment, in racial terms, for Barack Obama was being elected. He had to overcome his blackness to be elected. He climbed the Mt. Everest of American politics, becoming an historic first.

Randall Kennedy

The public wants elected officials who have character. The public wants elected officials who are willing to stand up and say things, even if they don't agree with them.

Michael Bloomberg

The monarchy that I hand over to my son is not going to be the same one that I have inherited. ... There is a tendency by a lot of officials to hide behind the king. And it's about time that officials take their responsibility and are responsible in front of the people. Because today, if you're appointed by the king, they don't feel that they're responsible for the people. If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work — because if they don't, they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.

Abdallah II

It ought to be done by the elected officials themselves because they have the credibility. And it's not like we aren't willing to help.

Jon Kyl

Elected officials need to stop with the name calling and hateful statements.

Jeff Van Drew

People need to get involved in their neighborhood groups and the many housing reform groups that are out there. We need to hold our elected officials accountable and push them to create legislation that protects tenants and keeps people in their homes. Our governments - local, state and federal - also need to allocate resources to enforce the fair housing laws that are already on the books.

Solly Granatstein

Politics should not be a lifelong career, and elected officials should not be allowed to fix themselves in the halls of power of a nation.

Pierre Poilievre

We need to focus on reducing property taxes. We need to focus on education funding. We need to focus on getting term limits on elected officials.

Bruce Rauner

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

Lewis Black

Conservatives and companies condoned Rush Limbaugh's politics of personal destruction when it came to smearing elected officials. 'Fair game,' they said, even when crass and crude. That's just the way it is.

Christine Pelosi

According to the people who dearly would love to throw him out of office, Barack Obama was elected to be 'above politics.' He wasn't elected to be president, after all. He was elected as an avatar of American tolerance. His attempts to get himself reelected imply a certain, well, ingratitude.

Charlie Pierce

I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.

Dean Koontz

In politics and in society, we can use our reason to rise above our parochial natures. Too bad that our elected officials don't choose to do so more often.
