Amy Klobuchar Zitate

As elected officials, we were sent to the halls of government by our neighbors to do their work - and much work needs to be done. Remembering our shared experiences with the people we represent makes us better and more accountable civil servants.

Amy Klobuchar

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als gewählte Beamte wurden wir von unseren Nachbarn in die Regierungsgebäude geschickt, um ihre Arbeit zu erledigen - und es muss noch viel getan werden. Die Erinnerung an unsere gemeinsamen Erlebnisse mit den Menschen, die wir vertreten, macht uns zu besseren und rechenschaftspflichtigen Beamten.

Our elected officials would do well to remember that the most prosperous countries are those that allow consumers - not governments - to direct the use of resources. Allowing the government to pick winners and losers hurts almost everyone, especially our poorest citizens.
