“We gotta stop looking at Washington as the only thing that matters. Something that has been really irritating to me is this idea that somehow state legislatures are the bench. That always implies that higher office means that it’s somehow a promotion.

— Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D), quoted by the Washington Post, offering Democrats a warning.
