The most important obligation our government has is to protect American citizens, and for decades career politicians like Joe Donnelly in Washington have neglected their duty by failing to stop illegal immigration and the flow of drugs pouring across our weak border.

Mike Braun

Every time I would give a talk, someone would say, 'You ought to go into politics.' I prefer to call it government leadership. My life has taken me to places where I have experiences that I think I can share. A lot of times, we see people who are career politicians. I'm not the conventional candidate, nor do I want to be.

Brad Wenstrup

The game of political music chairs and finger-pointing by career politicians and agency bureaucrats needs to end.

Brandon Webb

Career politicians like Marco Rubio worry more about keeping the job than doing the job and are constantly looking for their next political promotion.

Carlos Beruff

I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.

Carlos Beruff

I just think people are fed up with people who are career politicians who don't stand for anything.

Carlos Beruff

People have decided that career politicians may be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Carly Fiorina

It's time to replace career politicians with citizen's politicians. It's time to elect people who are going to stand up to the Washington elite and stand up to a White House and Congress hell-bent on ramming socialism down our throat.

Christine O'Donnell

There is a disconnect between Arkansas and Washington, D.C. The career politicians in Washington are not listening to people here in Arkansas, and this is the fundamental problem with politics.

Conner Eldridge

I offer something very different from the lifelong career politicians who have worked their way up to run for higher office or those who can parachute in with checks for $5 million or $10 million, and that seems to be the definition of credible or legitimate. I'm rejecting that premise.

Elizabeth Emken

For too long, Missouri has been run by career politicians, owned by corrupt consultants, high-paid lobbyists and special interests.

Eric Greitens

We've had enough career politicians in Helena who think the people are here to serve them. It's supposed to be the other way around.

Greg Gianforte

I'll spend whatever it takes to get my message out and to be competitive with these career politicians. I'm not going to take a penny of special interest money.

Jeff Greene

I like lots of career politicians; I'm not against all career politicians.

Jeff Greene

The career politicians down in Washington don't want to be held accountable.

Joe Sestak

I'm looking for leaders who are going to go to Washington for a season, not career politicians. People who understand that the strength of America comes from the private sector, not Washington, D.C.

Keith Rothfus

Too many of the career politicians, the established politicians in Washington on both sides of the aisle, are representing their party more than the people. And no matter what the media says, the ballot box will determine what people truly believe.

Matt Bevin

I answer that question by saying: 'Why Meg Whitman' which is: I'm not a career politician. I spent 30 years in business. I can tell you that people in California have had it with career politicians: they are done.

Meg Whitman

I'm not a career politician. I spent 30 years in business. I can tell you that people in California have had it with career politicians: they are done.

Meg Whitman

Career politicians in D.C. have shirked their responsibility to us for decades. At every turn, they've kicked the can down the road, pushing the burdens of our problems and our debts onto our children and grandchildren.

Mike Braun

Hoosiers sent me to Washington to help President Trump drain the swamp, and it starts with cutting out generous taxpayer-funded perks that keep career politicians in D.C.
