If we are visiting Afghans, typically the Afghan governor, district or provincial governor, we see he doesn’t wear body armor, and yet we’re walking through his streets. I’m his guest.

I feel the art world in New York has a stronger followi

Sam Taylor-Johnson
I wasn’t elected to avoid conflict. I was elected to represent the people of the 2nd District.

When we talk about public education, we don’t worry about a district. We don’t focus on an individual school or a building when we talk about education. We talk about kids and what’s best for kids. It doesn’t matter what’s best for the adults; what matters is what’s best for the individual kids.

Arthur Capper

Neill Blomkamp
I come from a small village in Gurdaspur district.
Guru Randhawa
Bullies have played a dirty trick to force me out of office by re-drawing my Congressional district to cover a largely rural area of north Florida and include 22 prisons, and convicted felons can’t vote.

Sen. Clinton carried our district, and it is difficult to vote against your constituents.

Terre Haute. They used to call it ‘Terrible Hut’ because it was so wide open. Gambling, red light district, speak-easies. I entertained for all the gangsters. Can’t name a gangster that didn’t come into the place where I worked.

My district has been hit with three 500-year floods in the last several years, so either you believe that we had a one-in-over-100-million probability that occurred, or you believe as I do that there’s a new normal, and we have changing weather patterns, and we have climate change. This is the science.
Chris Gibson
My district includes the two urban centers of Charlotte and Fayetteville, as well as large rural areas. Obviously, these diverse segments of North Carolina require different approaches to meeting current and future transportation demands.

I don’t know that my colleagues in Congress really care about what happens here in El Paso and in Juarez. They care what happens in their home district.
Beto O’Rourke
One of the rules of running for Congress is no matter w

One of the rules of running for Congress is no matter where you go, you speak like you’re speaking to the whole district.
Jon Ossoff
Some of the school districts in my congressional district are looking at resource officers and how they secure that environment.
Marsha Blackburn
I like having a battleground district because I think that’s real-life America.
Pete Gallego
I really truly respect and honor the fact that the majority of my district is African-American and that I have to make sure that I surround myself with people with that lens.
Rashida Tlaib
I got into the race because I’m concerned for my children, and for the opportunities they don’t have. Really, it’s for the same concerns that the people of the 16th district have. They’re concerned about jobs.
Jim Renacci
In my district, California 14, we have about 4,000 families who are on food stamps, but some of my colleagues have thousands and thousands more. Yet, they somehow feel like crusaders, like heroes, when they vote to cut food stamps.
Jackie Speier
I’m always running back and forth to the district.
Gene Green
As a proud Catholic, I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.
Joe Baca
I’m running because it is past time that Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District be represented by someone who is a true conservative and who represents who we are in the Volunteer State.
Scott DesJarlais
As a member of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Co-Chair of the Invasive Species Caucus, I’ll continue to be an independent voice for our district.
Elise Stefanik
I am very proud of my public record and the many accomplishments of my office. It has been a tremendous honor to represent the 6th District of Texas for over three decades, but now it is time to step aside and let there be a new voice.
Joe Barton
I’ve given some money to the scholarships in the District of Columbia, to the best students in D.C… many of the students have written me letters telling me they could not have afforded to go to college without the scholarship and money I’ve given them.
David Rubenstein
If Scott Brown can win in a state that President Obama won by 26 points, I can win in a district that Obey won by just 20 points against an unknown, underfunded challenger in the Democratic landslide of 2008. It means there is not a single Democrat in the country who is safe.
Sean Duffy
My candidacy is one that fits the district and fits the Mick Mulvaney-Jim DeMint philosophy.
Ralph Norman
As I have traveled throughout my Congressional district, the one thing I heard loud and clear was simply please stop spending money you do not have, rein in spending, live within a budget.
Tim Scott
My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early ’70s, when I was 5 years old, my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.
Harry Connick, Jr.
Stony Skunk, when they were with our company, had a song which I personally like called ‘Red Light District.’
G-Dragon
Attorneys general, district attorneys, and federal prosecutors have a responsibility to separate their politics from their law enforcement powers.
Richard Grenell
I had panels – roundtables in the district – and the stories that were told are really difficult to accept. People who have diabetes who can’t get insurance because of a preexisting condition; others who were laid off and the have no place to turn.
Sander Levin
When I came to Washington, I believed that I had one duty, one purpose. I was elected to serve my district, my people and no one else. Since arriving in Congress, I’ve learned that not everyone shares this philosophy.
Madison Cawthorn
In my very early days as a journalist, as a cub reporter on a local newspaper, I used to cover the district courthouse in Limerick city – all human life passed through that establishment, and my time there remains a source of inspiration.
Kevin Barry
The voters of each Congressional district select the representative that they choose to represent them, and perhaps voters in all districts will now ask prospective candidates whether they will use the Bible, the Koran, or anything else.
Virgil Goode
In recent years, the choice of drugs on these reservations and throughout my district has been methamphetamines. It has destroyed the rule of law among the reservation people. It is killing our tribal youth in this country.
Rick Renzi
Congress has turned its back on America’s working families. There are Teamster families in every congressional district in America, and those families vote. Those who would oppose these families have done so at their own political peril.
James P. Hoffa
I owe my life to my father. I remember that my first Christmas present was a ball. In the district where we lived, there weren’t many kids who had one.
Sergio Aguero
When I left the San Francisco DA’s office, I went down to the Los Angeles district attorney’s office, and I was able to try a tremendous amount – very serious cases and working in gang neighborhoods, impoverished neighborhoods – really make a difference and be impactful in those communities.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
I’ve got the most beautiful district. I can understand why Republicans want it.
Joe Garcia
My district goes a long ways across the southern part of Ohio, so just the opportunity to get to know so many people is a highlight itself, win or lose.
Brad Wenstrup
When I was playing for my school, the only thing I wanted to do was get selected for the Under-16 or the Under-19 district teams. When I was selected for the district, I would think about the next level, which was getting selected for the state side.
MS Dhoni
I hope that the residents of my current district – from Quincy to Provincetown and the Islands – know that their well-being is my primary concern and nothing changes that.
William R. Keating
I once went to La Boca district, where you can watch street performers doing tango, and joined in. But it’s very hard to dance in Birkenstocks.
Chris Tarrant
I feel so comfortable in an acting role, you know, as a

I feel so comfortable in an acting role, you know, as an actor. Maybe it’s because I came into it late. If anything, I’ve felt frustrated that I can’t carry a film because everything since ‘District 9’ has been supporting roles.
Sharlto Copley
There are 10,000 local governments in the state of New York. Ten thousand! Town, village, lighting district, water district, sewer district, a special district to count the other districts in case you missed a district.
Andrew Cuomo
I’m not a green like most Democrats would be. I have a blue-collar district.
Gene Green
We have numerous mandirs, gurudwaras, and mosques in my Congressional district and all across the U.S.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
In my years of public service at both the federal and state levels, I have had the privilege of representing most of the communities that make up Congressional District 21, including Hialeah, Westchester, Doral, Kendall, Miami Lakes, Hialeah Gardens, Medley and Palmetto Bay.
Mario Diaz-Balart
As long as my sixth graders showed an average improvement of five years, the principal and district pretty much left me alone to create my own curriculum and teach whatever I wanted.
Dan Simmons
I grew up in Tom DeLay’s district.
Paul Begala
Anne Marie Schubert is one of the most horrible district attorneys in the state of California. She represents Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions. It’s no wonder she continuously refuses to hold the police accountable for violence against people of color.
Shaun King
Whether ‘Avatar’ is racist is a matter for debate. Regardless of where you come down on that question, it’s undeniable that the film – like alien apartheid flick ‘District 9’, released earlier this year – is emphatically a fantasy about race.
Annalee Newitz
I fully appreciate the fact that George W. Bush won 49% of my district.
Jim Costa
When I make decisions, it’s not based on what the Republican Party does. I’m elected by the 9th congressional district.
Tom Graves
From helping to process passports to aiding veterans with benefits and assisting with IRS-related issues, my team and I look forward to serving the residents of the 10th District.
Brad Schneider
Unfortunately, my district like many others across the country has a problem with gangs, which is why I introduced this amendment.
Bob Filner
As I get close to my election, I want to spend more time in my district and focus on my reelection.
Henry Cuellar
People react to ‘District 9’ and Die Antwoord on the same level.
Watkin Tudor Jones
President Trump continued his strong commitment to nominating conservative judges to the bench who respect the rule of law with his selection of Holly Brady for the U.S. District Court for Northern Indiana.
Mike Braun
I went to the Women’s Campaign School at Yale; I went to Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Training, women’s campaign fund training. I got to know the district really well by talking to the county chair, getting to know politics, working on some local races.
Kirsten Gillibrand
I’d propose that each central-city child should have an entitlement from the state to attend any school in the metropolitan area outside his own district – with per pupil funds going with him.
James S. Coleman
No charges have been filed by the L.A. district attorney’s office, and for that I am appreciative. I have said it before, but we all make mistakes, and the day will come soon enough where you no longer read of mine in the tabloids.
Scott Stapp
Secretary Rumsfeld used to represent parts of our district in the 1960s. I think that he and his team have done a masterful job in defeating Iraqi forces quickly and decisively.
Mark Kirk
My district is well-acquainted with my commitment to protecting innocent human life.
Trent Franks
There are 600 districts in India. Every district in India has a teacher-training institute.
Azim Premji
The thing that we tell – that I tell – members is, ‘Vote your district. Vote your conscience; just don’t surprise us.’
Kevin McCarthy
Anybody who thinks that getting a communication from a voter in your district is spam – that guy is pork. Roast pork unless he changes his point of view.
Dick Morris
I believe 2014 will be another historic year for conservatives in Arkansas, and I stand ready to help with that effort and make sure a conservative wins the 2nd Congressional District.
Tim Griffin
Growing up, I had a lot of family members who worked in the Dallas Independent School District, and they shared stories firsthand with me about kids stepping into the cafeteria hungry before practice, or waiting for the school building to open the next morning just so they could get a meal.
Kyler Murray
My mother was the only girl in the family. One brother was District Attorney of Odessa or something; another was teaching classical languages; another was a captain of a battleship of the Black Navy; and still another was a chemist and icthyologist.
George Gamow
Passing comprehensive immigration reform and making DACA and DAPA permanent will free people from living in the shadows of fear from deportation to be able to pursue higher education, buy homes, start businesses, and expand our economy and strengthen the communities of the 10th district and our nation.
Brad Schneider
Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there’s the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in.
Marcelene Cox
My staff hosts mobile office hours to serve constituents throughout the district in addition to our permanent offices in Durango, Pueblo and Grand Junction.
Lauren Boebert
I use Facebook on a daily basis to share information about my work in Congress and across our great district. I put information about constituent meetings, video of various Congressional hearings, and share local news stories from around our region.
Elise Stefanik
I was born in Nyarugenge, a district in Kigali, Rwanda.

I was born in Nyarugenge, a district in Kigali, Rwanda.
Ncuti Gatwa
I am thankful that members of advisory councils will serve as ‘boots on the ground’ to provide valuable feedback and recommendations directly from the community regarding policies, programs and resources that enhance and support our district.
Katie Hill
Where I’m from, you go to college, become a carpenter or something, and stay in the district.
Travis Fimmel
I often think that the last holiday is the greatest, but then some really stand out in my mind. One of the best was one my wife and I had in the Lake District. We stayed in a B&B and walked around the countryside for two weeks.
Jay Parini
Dan Donovan was the district attorney at one point who could not indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, who choked Eric Garner on video, for the whole country to watch, for the whole world to watch. And he actually, immediately after that, won a seat in Congress. He beat a Democrat to get into Congress.
Linda Sarsour
If I’m privileged to be elected, I’d be blessed to represent a diverse district, including South Asians and Indian Americans.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
I see myself as a person who wants to serve the constituents within my district and find a way to move those who are not in our position philosophically to our position.
Tim Scott
It’s not about what the speaker wants. It’s not about necessarily what I want. There’s two other principles involved here. It’s what the constituents in my district want, and they didn’t want to raise the debt ceiling unless there were significant structural reforms and spending cuts to help us balance our budget.
Tim Huelskamp
As a candidate for Congress, I proposed a federal infrastructure bank to help local governments fund badly needed projects, including ones in my district. We need to repair and expand our crumbling transportation systems by creating many good-paying construction jobs.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
‘District 9’ was a singular anti-Apartheid metaphor, and ‘Elysium’ is a more general metaphor about immigration and how the First World and Third World meet. But the thing that I like the most about the metaphor is that it can be scaled to suit almost any scenario.
Neill Blomkamp
I am a lawyer and 22 years the mayor of Davao City. I served as congressman of the first district for one term, and I was vice mayor to my daughter, Inday.
Rodrigo Duterte
I’m living out a childhood fantasy. Our house is in a historic district of a small town that I used to read about in storybooks.
Patty Duke
To give you some background, I represent the largest manufacturing district and the largest agricultural district in Ohio.
Bob Latta
Beginning with the No Child Left Behind law and continuing today with Race to the Top, the federal emphasis on standardized assessments has become so excessive that it has modified state and district behavior in troubling ways.
Randi Weingarten
I was raised in a Bronx public housing project, but studied at two of the nation’s finest universities. I did work as an assistant district attorney, prosecuting violent crimes that devastate our communities.
Sonia Sotomayor
District attorneys are often some of the finest public servants. However, the system in which they operate to investigate cases of police misconduct leaves a huge window for unintended bias.
Letitia James
I mean this is a revolution in how campaigns work – more money was spent by super PACs than by either myself or John Faso. So what that means is that if you’re a voter in this district you are more likely to have heard from a super PAC than from me or my opponent.
Zephyr Teachout
Our district is home to the Adirondacks, and we know firsthand that clean energy development and environmental protection are critical to our economy.
Elise Stefanik
In the district of Hizan, through the influence of Shaikh Abdurrahman Tagi, known as Seyda, so many students, teachers, and scholars emerged, I was sure all Kurdistan took pride in them and their scholarly debates and wide knowledge and Sufi way. These were the people who would conquer the face of the earth!
Said Nursi
The 1st Congressional District contains almost half of the biotech and biomedical companies in Washington, and my job often allows me to meet the people responsible for this exciting research.
Jay Inslee
Wherever I go – be it to school events, county fairs, town halls, or even the grocery store, my neighbors and constituents share the same serious concern. Prescription drug prices keep going up, and families across our district don’t know how they can afford them.
Abigail Spanberger
Electing radical reformers as district attorneys is huge. It’s essential.
Shaun King
Every district is going to be different, but if you wanted me to give advice to those candidates: Run your own campaign, the DCCC does not run your campaign. Figure out ways to raise money from small-dollar donors, and put some real energy into that because that will give you freedom to say no to big donors.
Zephyr Teachout
I look forward to continuing to represent the people I’m currently serving, as well as the new communities that will be a part of this district in the future.
William R. Keating
Penn State University is also nationally recognized for the exceptional research and patient care provided at the College of Medicine, located in my Congressional District in Hershey, PA.
Tim Holden
Personally, in my home, the district in central New York, the Air National Guard base, not 5 years ago, the commandant came through and said, This is one of the sorriest looking bases I have ever seen.
Jim Walsh
Never in the history of ‘The Shield’ was the word ‘LAPD’ ever mentioned. We would mention districts, like Wilshire and Hollenbeck and Marina, but Farmington was a fictitious district, and we never actually uttered the word ‘LAPD.’ So that was sort of the deal we made with them.
Kurt Sutter
I represent the top agriculture district in Texas, and Texas is the top agriculture state in the country, so I know just how important agriculture priorities are to our state and local economies.
Ronny Jackson
I’m not searching for ways to tell the District of Columbia what to do.
Trey Gowdy
I represent a district in Nevada, a state that is home to more wild horses than all other states combined.
Jon Porter
I was on the campaign trail for 18 months. I never got a question about the District of Columbia in South Carolina.
Trey Gowdy
One minute you're invited to Puff Daddy's party, the ne

One minute you’re invited to Puff Daddy’s party, the next you’re at a bash with Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and all these movie stars. Sometimes you had to pinch yourself and ask, what’s a girl from the Peak District doing here?’
Tess Daly
Washington state’s 2nd Congressional District is a major producer of small fruit crops such as raspberries and strawberries. This research center is doing important work to help farmers enhance the quality, yield and marketability of their small fruit crops.
Rick Larsen
My goal is to have a simple lottery to help our people and solve a decades old problem dealing with our general fund, particularly Medicaid. Let us solve this together and allow the people in your district the right to be a part of the process with a vote.
Robert J. Bentley
The prison industrial complex, to put it in its crassest term, is a system of industrial mass incarceration. So there’s what you call bureaucratic thrust behind it. It’s hard to shut off because politicians rely upon the steady flow of jobs to their district that the prison system and its related industries promise.
Eugene Jarecki
In Uttar Pradesh there is a district called Shahjahanpur. Fifty kilometers from Shahjahanpur, there is a small, cosy village called Kulra, where my entire family lives.
Rajpal Yadav
‘Harlem: The Unmaking of a Ghetto’ is a surprise and a fresh way of looking at Harlem, connecting the black district with the architecture of its historical past.
Darryl Pinckney
I know if that I’m not fighting for my home state, my home district, that other members who are out there fighting for their state, their district, they’re not going to fight for New York for me.
Lee Zeldin
Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those – but it’s really important who’s mayor and who’s on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.
Jello Biafra
I am every single day talking with and working with people in my district who are seeing their health care insurance costs go up five times, 105 percent, 300 percent, that are getting pay cuts, that are losing 40-hour workweeks, that are having to work two and three jobs.
Marsha Blackburn
Receiving a reputable pro-Israel award isn’t a bad idea for a Democrat or a Republican in a New York City congressional district.
Michael Caputo
We’re doing everything we can to solidify my base of support in the 4th Congressional district.
Cory Gardner
