“I thought elected officials should be more proactive, should be there for the community all the time, they should be accessible. People should be your first priority. I’m a volunteer first and a politician second.”—Tony Singh, city councilor in Little Elm, Texas, on why he ran for office. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

(Detroit Free Press)
