Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.

I understood public relations and always maintained a high profile.

I was raised in a family dedicated to public service.

I have had a career in public service.

But always I was a private citizen whose activities in government or political party were appointive.

My whole life has been dedicated to public service.

I also served on many government committees.

I ran for public office to do something good.
