My Take
Barney Frank is a politician I hold in high regard. Born in Bayonne and Harvard-educated, he spent over three decades representing Massachusetts in the House, and his fingerprints are all over the Dodd–Frank Act, the defining response to the 2008 financial crisis. But what moves me most is his courage in being openly gay while serving at the highest levels, at a time when that took real bravery. His passing in 2026 is a genuine loss. He was sharp, principled and unafraid to speak plainly, and that combination of conviction and candor is precisely the kind of public servant I think we need more of.
