My Take
Dick Gephardt is the sort of politician history undervalues, and that is exactly why he interests me. Nearly three decades representing Missouri's 3rd district, plus stints as both House majority and minority leader, mark him as a master of the unglamorous craft of legislating. He never reached the presidency he sought, but the people who actually keep a party and a chamber functioning rarely get the spotlight. I find his durability more impressive than any single headline. A lawyer turned long-haul institutionalist and Distinguished Eagle Scout, he reads to me as the steady backbone every legislature quietly depends on.
