God has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election.
I represent a rural state and live in a small town. Small merchants make up the majority of Vermont’s small businesses and thread our state together. It is the mom-and-pop grocers, farm-supply stores, coffee shops, bookstores and barber shops where Vermonters connect, conduct business and check in on one another.
You cannot represent cool. You’ve got to be cool. You’ve got to be authentic. I think, after all these years, that is how I define cool. It is being authentic. That is powerful.
When I became the first woman to represent the state of Texas in the United State Senate, it was with the help of a lot of women – and a large number of men, too.
You cannot collectively, as a society, decide that you are only going to represent one part of a minority. It’s like saying you’ve represented black people on television because you aired an episode of the ‘Cosbys.’
There are so many women out there relying on me to represent them.
On some level, I think we want our reading self to represent our best self.
The job of elected leaders is to deliver results that represent the interests of the citizens who placed them in a position of authority with their voice, their vote. But these days, money talks louder.
It is not uncommon in modern times to see governments straining every nerve to keep the peace, and the people whom they represent, with patriotic enthusiasm and resentment over real or fancied wrongs, urging them forward to war.
There are those who think that the private lives of candidates are none of our business. But when those candidates ask us for our attention as they explain their plans for how they will represent us, no one should be surprised at our interest in how they represent themselves.
All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.
I didn’t want to represent any negative side of the country where I was born and raised.
Hours wasted in traffic represent not only lost wages but enormous amounts of economic activity that might have happened. Congestion indirectly increases consumer prices, makes travel times unreliable for commuters and truckers, and precludes many people from accessing jobs in urban hubs.
Because in Russia you were able to triumph with the help of a large class of poor peasants, you represent things in such a way, as if we in Western Europe are also going to have that help.
I was very aware of performers who have a persona, whether it’s Siouxsie Sioux or Patti Smith or Lydia Lunch, and I’m just this middle-class girl coming from a more conventional upbringing, this California person. But in a way I felt like it’s important to represent the normal.
We cannot stop senseless violence without the rule of law and security forces that represent and respect every segment of society.
What has happened at Guantanamo Bay… does not represent the will of the American people. I’m embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people.
I’m very driven by what I do. I am certainly very competitive. I like people who represent the best at what they do, and if that turns you into a perfectionist, then maybe I am.
My sense of style is influenced by how I feel. I want to express myself because they see you before they hear you. You want to come on stage, and what you look like should represent the song you are playing or the set you are about to play or the message in your music.
We’re not really trying to do anything besides represent where we come from, and that’s New Orleans.
I am ambitious, and I’m excited for my career to grow, and I do want to represent the Asian community and the Filipino community.
I’ve never been in love with fashion, actually; trends and catwalks don’t interest me. I love clothes; I love them historically and currently. They represent a spirit of the times and the zeitgeist.
It’s troubling that by eliminating weekend voting hours, the state of Ohio specifically banned a popular voting time of choice for minorities. In Cuyahoga County, which I represent, 56 percent of weekend voters in 2008 were African American while adult African Americans comprise 28 percent of the county population.
Ultimately, baseball is just a game. It’s not so much how you play, but how you represent him why you’re playing.

When I was sixteen, I borrowed a copy of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ from the mobile library. Democrats and Republicans were standing for very different principles, and I could see which side was going to represent me.
I’m lucky to have been able to represent different companies over my career.
I am honored to be chosen for this collaboration; I grew up watching Disney and using Beats headphones. Now I get to represent them both – it’s unreal.
‘Livin’ la Vida Loca’ is not Latin music. It does not represent Latin music.
I don’t want people to think I think I am the most diverse thing fashion has ever seen or whatever. But there are so many different walks of life that I don’t represent, and there is no one person who does.
All I know is that playing for Arsenal to me is always going to be an honour. I’m always proud to represent this club and wear the badge.
I truly consider sports stars as the real stars because they represent our country, which makes them really stand apart. I don’t think I can be one of them, and I just find them extremely confident and self-made.
Since 1957, black people have experienced double-digit unemployment – in good times and bad times. Look at the population of African Americans in prison. They represent more than half the population of prisoners in the country, 55 percent of those on death row.
As a little kid, I watched hip hop get created. So it’s an honour for me to represent the Bronx, the motherland of hip hop.
I would love to see more women directors because they represent half of the population – and gave birth to the whole world. Without them writing and being directors, the rest of us are not going to know the whole story.

At the Department of Justice, our ability to fulfill our responsibilities – to advocate for victims, to vigorously pursue misconduct, to seek justice in all its forms – depends on public confidence in the institutions we represent.
I think the likelihood that combustion will continue to represent the large portion of the power unit world is very small.
I’ve always seen My Chemical Romance as the band that would have represented who me and my friends were in high school, and the band that we didn’t have to represent us – the kids that wore black – back then.
The anti-big-government movement is pure. Its participants represent something close to what used to be considered normative in this country.
My father’s NFL dreams never really felt like motivation to me, but it was something to aspire to. He was such a great athlete, the least I could do is try and use my athletic talent to represent my country in a different way. He represented as a Marine. Maybe I could do something to represent as an athlete.
I am proud to represent the capital of Kerala, a state that in so many ways is a trailblazer for India’s progress, though in other respects it seems to have been left behind in the race for 21st century development.
Pot lucks are fun, especially when you encourage your guests to bring dishes that represent their families or cultures.
I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.

The people have the right to know whether or not the person they elect has the capacity to represent them.
It’s my job to represent the concerns and address the concerns my constituents have, and those concerns change over time.
We’re the country of movie stars because the stars, like ourselves, represent a kind of extended infantilism, beauties waiting for the big chance.
I don’t feel that I need a tattoo to represent myself as a Samoan or a Christian.
I don’t think anyone would say that the women on the United States national team are not great role models and ambassadors. Everywhere we go, we connect with fans, sign autographs, and represent our sport and federation with class.
Persona-wise, I represent a lot of people’s childhoods.
I am very proud to be British. I’m very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.

Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.
