Running for office is a different job from constituent representation when in office.
Quality politicians should be good at both.

How do we get to determine a candidate’s quality?

Candidate website?
Party website?
Party-paid public advertising?
Self proclamation via social media?
Questions from friendly or unfriendly press?
Public debate?
Public forum with no debate?
Personal interaction?
Appearance at a “rally”.
Friend of Greg, or other trusted advisor?
