Jeff Colyer

What grabs me about Jeff Colyer is the sheer improbability of his resume: a practicing surgeon who is also a lawyer, and who ended up governing Kansas. Most people would consider any one of those a full life's work. To me that signals a restless, almost insatiable mind, the kind that refuses to be confined to a single lane. His White House Fellowship and Georgetown training fit the pattern of someone who collects competencies the way others collect hobbies. I'm less interested in his party politics than in that polymath instinct. People who can move between the operating room and the statehouse genuinely fascinate me.
