Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Do you believe that it's beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
“ I am a non-politician, and proud of it. (Political experience often just means lots of years spent doing it the wrong way.) If I ever start acting like a professional politician, impeach me![3] ”
