Disinterested public service has become, just so... what's the phrase, 'old school.'

As a matter of fact, even when I finished law school, I had no notion of public service then.

I urge all interested high school seniors to consider making an application to our nation's military service academies,

I have a lifelong devotion to public service.

Both of my children - my daughter Caroline, a public school teacher, and my son Elliot, an Army Ranger - are dedicating their lives to public service; thus, they have inspired my own decision to run for Congress.

If you don't like public service, don't run for office.
