My Take
Fletcher's resume reads like a study in serving others from many angles. A physician by training, a military officer, three terms in the U.S. House, and then the 60th governorship of Kentucky from 2003 to 2007. What fascinates me is the pivot from treating individual patients to steering an entire state's wellbeing. Regional American politics rarely gets the spotlight, but the weight of carrying everyday constituents' lives is real and unglamorous. Whatever one makes of his record, I respect the instinct to keep finding new ways to be of public use. That kind of restless civic drive is increasingly rare.
