Jen Kiggans

Jen Kiggans has one of the more striking resumes I've come across: Navy helicopter pilot, geriatric nurse practitioner, and now a member of Congress. Whatever one makes of her politics, I find the trajectory itself worth attention. Flying military aircraft and caring for fragile elderly patients are wildly different forms of responsibility, and carrying both into legislative life suggests an unusual tolerance for pressure and a grounding in real human stakes. I tend to trust people who have worked with their hands and faced consequences before entering the policy world. Kiggans strikes me as someone whose experience, not just rhetoric, shapes how she sees her work.
