I'm not a politician

A candidate for Ellis County Judge sent out a letter to Ellis County employees recently.
In the letter she did a "Letterman-like Top Ten List of Reasons You Should Vote For Me For Ellis County Judge."
Number 10 was, "I'm not a politician."
This seems to be a popular cry from new candidates for office.
"I'm not a politician. I'm not from Washington. I'm not like everyone else."
I think they should add, "But if you elect me, I'll be one. And apparently I want to be one or else I wouldn't be running for office."
Eric suggested, what if we applied for jobs like politicians campaign?
"I'm not a journalist. I know people don't tend to trust journalists, so you won't have to worry about me, because I'm not a journalist."
