The Hill Times
Politics is not a career for the faint of heart. It takes a thick skin, combined with self-confidence and a fair degree of passion to be able to cut it in the vocation. Nobody goes into this form of public service without understanding this: It's no tea party.
Whether you’re determining which potholes are filled, or whether to send troops to war, those elected to serve the public hold a significant amount of power over the everyday lives of their constituents. With that in mind, there is nothing to be gained by shrinking the pool of potential representatives, which is exactly what happens when people are too frightened to stand for election.
