My Take
What draws me to Darrell Issa is the order of his career: he built real wealth as an entrepreneur in Ohio before ever running for office. That sequence matters. So many politicians arrive having only ever known politics, but Issa came in having met a payroll and weathered a market. Whether you agree with his positions or not, that operator's instinct shows in how he navigates Washington. Representing two different California districts across the years also signals a stubborn durability I find genuinely interesting. He is, to me, the archetype of the American self-made man who decided the boardroom was too small.
