My Take
Buddy Roemer fascinates me as a rare hybrid: a Harvard-trained banker who climbed from a Louisiana congressional seat to the governor's mansion. Switching parties mid-term, from Democrat to Republican, signals either deep conviction or fearless pragmatism, and either way it took nerve. What draws me most is his later reputation for rejecting big political money, a stance that feels almost quaint yet genuinely principled. Self-made provincial brains making it to the top always earn my interest, and Roemer's arc from Shreveport to the national stage embodies that grit. He passed in 2021, but the image of a clean, stubborn reformer endures.
