Greg Gianforte

Greg Gianforte interests me as a study in second acts. An engineer who built and sold a software company, he then carried that entrepreneurial instinct into politics, rising to the Montana governorship after a term in Congress. I tend to think technologist-turned-politicians approach governance like a system to be optimized, and his trajectory fits that mold. Opinions on his policies will vary sharply along partisan lines, but the underlying arc, applying private-sector pragmatism to public office, is a coherent and increasingly common American story. Whether you agree with him or not, the man clearly operates from a defined worldview.
