Ross Anderson

Mary Boyle
“I've talked to people in all walks of life, from elected officials ... to the guy who repaired my shoes.”
Donald Powell
“We have a responsibility here to the American people as elected officials to conduct our own investigation and ask questions. We'll be interested in seeing what our former colleague from Missouri finds, and hopefully he can help facilitate getting to the truth,”

“Local elected officials play critical roles in economic development and poverty reduction. You get elected because people want you to be their voice.

Peggy Beltrone
“Make sure you have the willpower of your elected officials and the people.”
David Scurto
