Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance for elected leaders to remember and appreciate the factors that contributed to their success. It suggests that leaders who become detached from the values, concerns, or needs of the people who elected them are likely to face consequences in future elections. By disregarding the reasons for their initial support, leaders risk losing the trust and support of their constituents, affecting their chances for re-election. Thus, the quote serves as a reminder for leaders to stay connected and responsive to the interests and aspirations of those they represent.
