I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.
Geraldine Ferraro

I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.
Fritz Sauckel

I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.
Davy Crockett

I would rather be respected than elected.
Charles Edison

I wouldn't even get elected. I'd probably deck a couple of people, too which would not play very well with the national media.
Tim Robbins

I'm a lobbyist and had a career lobbying. The guy who gets elected or the lady who gets elected president of the United States will immediately be lobbying. They would be advocating to the Congress, they'll be lobbying our allies and our adversaries overseas. They'll be asking the business community and labor unions.
Haley Barbour

I'm convinced that unless you have some public financing of elections, you are never going to remove the power of wealthy interests over elected officials.
Dick Murphy

I'm not the one who was elected. I would never do anything to undermine my husband's point of view.
Laura Bush

I've often been asked to run for office. I have no desire to do that, I would not want my time with the family or the company restricted because of the demands of an elected position.
Carl Karcher

If a catastrophic event wipes out a large portion of House members, America needs to know this body, elected by the people, will be quickly and legally reconstituted and will continue to function.
Charles W. Pickering

If elected, I will win.
Pat Paulsen

If George W. Bush is elected president, I'm leaving for France.
Robert Altman

If I had been elected president in 1948, history would be vastly different. I believe we would have stemmed the growth of Big Government, which had begun with the New Deal and culminated with the Great Society.
Strom Thurmond

If members of the security apparatus could, with impunity, keep from those elected by the people that which they're entitled to know - or worse, feed false information - those who could control the classified data could be the real decision makers.
Harold H. Greene

If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.
William Tecumseh Sherman

If Obama has his way, the change that is coming is a new America: "fair," leveled and social democratic. Obama didn't get elected to warranty your muffler. He's here to warranty your life.
Charles Krauthammer

If Ted Williams just tip his cap once he could be elected Mayor of Boston in five minutes.
Eddie Collins

If the most liberal man that's ever been in office can get elected when 20 percent of the population identifies as liberal then I think we can elect a conservative when 40 percent of the population identifies themselves as conservative.
Rick Santorum

If you begin to give people hope that there is a brighter future, there is a new tomorrow, then the people who were yesterday's terrorists become tomorrow's elected officials and they're part of the system.
John Shelby Spong

In 1948 I was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics and in 1949 elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College.
