My Take
Bill Lee fascinates me less as a politician than as a businessman who wandered into government. He ran his family's Lee Company from 1992 to 2016 before becoming Tennessee's 50th governor in 2019, a genuinely unusual route to power. As a self-described social conservative and Republican, his record will divide people, and I would not pretend otherwise. Still, I am drawn to leaders who arrive with operational experience rather than a lifetime of campaigning; they tend to think differently about execution. Whatever one makes of his policies, watching how a hands-on executive governs a state is, to me, an inherently interesting experiment.
