Cory Gardner

Cory Gardner's arc is a study in retail politics: from Yuma, a small Colorado farm town, to the state legislature, the U.S. House, and finally the Senate. Being noted as the last Republican to hold a Colorado Senate seat makes him something of a historical marker. A lawyer who never lost touch with an agricultural state, he understood ground-level concerns in a way many national figures do not. He served a single Senate term, but I respect a politician who tries to carry his hometown's voice to Washington. Whatever one thinks of his party, that rootedness reads as authentic to me.
