My Take
Chuy García strikes me as the embodiment of the long, patient road in American politics. Born in Durango, Mexico, he climbed through the Chicago City Council, the Illinois Senate, and the Cook County board before reaching Congress, and he twice dared to run for mayor. I respect politicians who build power locally before going national, because their roots usually keep them honest. The Ohtli Award for his service to the Mexican-American community signals a man who never forgot where he came from. Whatever one's politics, his persistence and grounding in community are qualities worth admiring.
