My Take
What strikes me most about Jake Auchincloss is the unusual arc from Marine Corps officer to Newton city councilor to Congress, a ladder climbed rung by rung rather than leapfrogged. I have a soft spot for politicians who did unglamorous local work before reaching Washington, and six years on a city council is exactly that. Born in 1988, he represents a generation of Democrats shaped by service rather than punditry, and I find his pragmatic, almost engineering-minded approach to policy refreshing. Whether he stays a workhorse or becomes a national figure, I suspect Massachusetts voters got someone who actually reads the fine print.
