for office. The time and effort to do so was not insubstantial. Nor was the impact upon immediate family members (spouse, children). Having to rebut exaggerated or plainly invented stances was a drag, which unfortunately comes with the territory. I met some great people along the way, but it's not something that I would eagerly do again.

That's why I say we get who we deserve. The process is extremely unpleasant and in my opinion results in good people (to be clear, infinitely better than I, low bar though that may be) declining to run.
