John -

There is a systemic flaw in our current political culture: those who
have personal ambitions are often the most enthusiastic to seek public
office, and personal ambitions can oftentimes be the enemy of the public
good.

For instance: real estate brokers often hold positions in zoning
administrations, parents with private vendettas seek school board
election and in Washington, anti-science conspiracy theorists like
Marjorie Taylor Greene are appointed to the Coronavirus investigations
subcommittee.

The finest leaders are often those who do not seek power. The finest
leaders are tolerant and have visions of good governance that deliver
for the people. 

These are the leaders we are looking for in rural America. Tolerance,
objectivity, and selfless service are the disciplines we want to see
implemented. And above all, we desire, simply, to work for the common
good. 

Politics often leaves people out of the conversation, and that is why we
need selfless leaders who advocate for the good of their communities,
not on an agenda of personal gain.
