The context of this quote is the statement from Kim Kardashian that she might run for Mayor of Glendale CA. Don't laugh. Look at who we have as Mayors eveywhere.
Gary Woodward, professor of communication studies at The College of New Jersey in Ewing.
“What seems to be happening at every level of government, from the Senate on down to the office of mayor in Glendale, is that people are seeking public office more as a way to establish identity than to actually do the difficult work of governance,” he says. “They are forgetting that public service is about governing and governing is a talent in and of itself. It requires skills in compromise and working with others to come up with something that benefits the public good."
“It is not a place to simply stake out who you are,” he says.
The same is true in the safety world. More to come on this subject.
