In every generation, Americans return to a simple but powerful idea: government exists to serve the people. It is not an institution meant to elevate those who hold office above the citizens who elect them. Instead, it is a responsibility entrusted to leaders by the public. As we face new challenges and opportunities across our nation, it is worth reminding every elected official—from city hall to the halls of Congress—that the foundation of American government rests on one principle: a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
