Don't Judge a Politician by Years Served: Experience Brings Knowledge and Integrity
- Long-serving "career politicians" can often be the most knowledgeable and have the most integrity.
- Inexperienced politicians are more easily swayed by lobbyists and special interests.
- The label "career politician" is often used by opponents to cast doubt without good reason.
- There are more positive labels that could be used, like "experienced legislator".
- Dishonest campaigners will use whatever they can to criticize opponents.
