My Take
My take on Dana Rohrabacher is that, for better or worse, he was a man of conviction. Born in Coronado, California, he served thirty years in the U.S. House from 1989 to 2019, a Republican who began life as a journalist before trading words for politics. He held his seat through three terms in California's 48th district until Harley Rouda unseated him by 7.2 points in 2018. He was a polarizing figure and I won't pretend otherwise, but there's a certain weight to anyone who states his beliefs plainly and runs the long race to its finish. Whatever one thinks of his positions, that endurance commands a grudging respect.
