My Take

Debbie Wasserman Schultz interests me as a study in political endurance. Climbing from a Queens upbringing to a Florida congressional seat and then the chair of the Democratic National Committee took genuine grit, especially for a woman in that era of party leadership. Her 2016 resignation drew plenty of headlines, but what I find more telling is that she kept showing up as a representative afterward. Politics tends to be narrated through wins and scandals, yet I am drawn to the people who simply stay in the arena. Longevity in public office is its own kind of achievement, and she has built one worth noting.
