Deval Patrick

Deval Patrick interests me as a study in self-made ascent. Rising from Chicago to become the 71st governor of Massachusetts, and the state's first African-American governor, is no small feat. What I appreciate is that he reached the top through law and public service rather than celebrity, the slow route that demands real substance. Following in the lineage after Dukakis, he carried genuine weight on his shoulders. I tend to root for people who climb on merit and resilience, and Patrick reads to me as exactly that kind of figure, dignified and quietly determined.
