Politicians in Washington and Madison aren't hearing, aren't listening to their constituents and prioritizing getting people back to work and growing our economy.
Tammy Baldwin
Image
When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I see myself as a person who wants to serve the constituents within my district and find a way to move those who are not in our position philosophically to our position.
Tim Scott
Image
I don't know if there's any secret recipe. Just a lot of hard work. Pay attention to your constituents. I always had a great Iowa staff that did all my great constituent service work. And I found that people would forgive me for a lot of my liberal sins because I paid attention to the home front.
Tom Harkin
Image
Politicians all over the world cater to domestic vote banks. They will spend only on what their constituents want. So unless there is a grass root green movement in a nation the politicians will not be willing to spend money on curbing emissions. More awareness is needed amongst the people to effect the real change in how governments spend.
Wilbur Smith
Image
Senator [Tom Cotton] got a ton of blowback. He became the star of fake missing person`s signs, encouraging folks to call if they saw him and also to call him and ask why he had been missing while his constituents were looking for him.
Rachel Maddow
Image

Democracy's worst fault is that its leaders are likely to reflect the faults and virtues of their constituents.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
There can be no complete and permanent reform of the civil service until public opinion emancipates congressmen from all control and influence over government patronage. Legislation is required to establish the reform. No proper legislation is to be expected as long as members of Congress are engaged in procuring offices for their constituents.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Image
There is ... scarcely any species of writing of which we can tell what is its essence, and what are its constituents every new genius produces some innovation, which, when invented and approved, subverts the rules which the practice of foregoing authors had established.
Samuel Johnson
Image
For my constituents, owning a home is the culmination of many years of hard work and the realization of the American Dream. At no time should a local entity take those years of hard work solely to increase their tax revenue.
Solomon Ortiz
Image
Our constituents did not send us to Washington to shut down the government. They sent us here to make it more accountable.
Steve Womack
Image
In every election homophobia has been part of the landscape and in every campaign I've been able to become connected enough to my constituents that they know who I am and that I can be elected on my merits.
Kathleen Wynne
Image
If I started worrying about how my constituents are going to react to every move I make, I wouldn't be able to do my job here. I'll do what I think is right and explain it later.
Ed Harris
Image
You have to deal with the reality that in the political process, people are going to vote based on what they're hearing from their constituents and others.
Marco Rubio
Image
Members of Congress care about reelection most of all. And that means they care about their constituents. So you have to be a constituent to make your voice heard.
Ezra G. Levin
Image
By overhauling current rules and speeding the entry of competitors in the market, we encourage competition and provide our constituents with new choices and cheaper bills.
Melissa Bean
Image
We want to believe. Young students try to believe in older authors, constituents try to believe in their Congressmen, countries try to believe in their statesmen, but they can't. Too many voices, too much scattered, illogical ill-considered criticism.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Image
A politician would do well to remember that he has to live with his conscience longer than he does with his constituents.
Melvin Laird
Image
It's nice not to have to worry about constituents, now, I simply do what I want.
George McGovern
Image
Political leaders, lacking documents that could be kept secret (apart from the occasional exception), lacking media they could control, were of necessity brought into a direct and immediate relationship with their constituents, and therefore under more and direct and immediate control.
Moses Finley
Image
No issue is more important to this Congress than securing our borders and protecting our homeland, and I guarantee it is very important to our constituents.
Ginny Brown-Waite
Image
I don't want to make a member of Congress do something that that member of Congress's constituents would not approve of, or would not agree to. So in that regard, I'm kind of the opposite of a lobbyist.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
There are some politicians who, if their constituents were cannibals, would promise them missionaries in every pot.
H. L. Mencken
