Charlie Baker

Charlie Baker strikes me as an unusually rare political figure. A Harvard graduate with a Kellogg education who ran Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for a decade, he then served eight years as a Republican governor in deeply Democratic Massachusetts while remaining genuinely popular. That balancing act demands a temperament most politicians lack: the willingness to listen rather than shout. Now leading the NCAA, he keeps crossing between business, government, and sport and producing results. I tend to trust the people who work quietly and deliver, and Baker reads to me as a pragmatist who values competence over noise, which I find refreshing.
