My Take
What strikes me about Brad Little is the slow, earned climb. From tiny Emmett, Idaho, through the state senate and lieutenant governorship before reaching the governor's office, he is the antithesis of the parachuted-in celebrity politician. A University of Idaho graduate who stayed rooted at home, he reads to me as someone more interested in the actual ground beneath his constituents than in national spotlight. Born in 1954, he carries the steadiness of a generation that knew both farm and statehouse. Whatever one makes of his politics, that step-by-step, locally grounded path earns a kind of credibility I instinctively trust.
