In this episode of NTD’s “Profiles of Service,” we sit down with California state Sen. Josh Becker. A veteran of the private and nonprofit sectors, he brings a unique touch to public office.

He says a big thing he’s working on is accountability. “In the private sector, there's a lot of measurement and metrics, and that's not always the case in government.” He also says what we need are leaders “who can be the highest version of themselves.”

<em>“Profiles of Service” is an NTD News series that features the men and women who have chosen to dedicate themselves to public service. At a time of low trust in the political process—according to a recent <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/647303/confidence-institutions-mostly-flat-police.aspx">Gallup</a> poll, 57 percent of the country has “very little” confidence in Congress—we launched the series as a way to get to know our elected officials on a different level. We ask them about the challenges and rewards of being in office, why public service matters, and what inspiration they can offer the next generation of potential leaders.</em>
