When I lived in Canada, all local elections were party free. In
other words you ran against you competitor not a party.
Some states and municipalities do this also. This I think makes true
what you are saying. I find most (I limit that) elected officials to
be interested in their fellow man and their municipality.
Occasionally you run into some real wing nuts (Try local politics in
southern Alabama) and they are just idiots with an agenda.
But for the most part they are concerned citizens like you.
But once you get into state and national politics they start moving
the other way.

As a municipal official (elected to town council of a very small town),
that garbage makes my blood boil. The town pays me well under $1,000
per year. I file for election with the state election board and stand
every four years. I am honored to serve with others who may disagree at
times, but are watching out for the town's best interests at all times.
Thank you,

To take a quote from an AIG exec out of context when the possibility of
not getting his bonus was brought up:
""They (Politicians)only care about the next election, just like we only
care about the next bonus. Well, none of them cares about the country,
none of us cares about the institution," he said, adding: "They really
don't care, and I really don't care. And frankly, if a trillion dollars
gets lost, fine."
