Clay Higgins

Higgins has one of the more cinematic résumés in Congress: New Orleans native, car dealer, business manager, and reserve law enforcement officer turned U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 3rd district. He first caught national attention through blunt, theatrical Crime Stoppers videos as a sheriff's spokesman, a backstory that explains a lot about his unfiltered political style. Whatever you make of his politics, the trajectory fascinates me. He's a reminder that American politics still occasionally rewards the unpolished outsider with a strong local identity. Love him or not, he's hard to mistake for a focus-grouped career politician, and that distinctiveness is itself notable.
