My Take
Garcetti's resume genuinely surprised me. Nine years as mayor of Los Angeles, then U.S. ambassador to India, a Rhodes Scholarship, a Columbia education, even naval service and acting credits. That's several lifetimes packed into one. I read it less as raw ambition than as restless curiosity, a person who simply cannot stop reaching for the next thing. Steering a city as vast and unruly as LA for that long takes real stamina, and he saw it through. Controversies and all, I find people with this kind of range endlessly watchable. He's never boring, and in public life that's rarer than it should be.
