My Take
Jim Himes intrigues me less for his glittering résumé, Harvard, a Rhodes Scholarship, a banking career, than for his unlikely starting point: born in Lima, Peru. That international upbringing surely shapes how he reads a room. Representing Connecticut's 4th district for so long takes more than intellect; it takes patience and a willingness to listen. I value legislators who genuinely understand finance, because they can translate between worlds that usually talk past each other. He strikes me as a pragmatic operator rather than a showman, and Congress could use more of that grounded, workmanlike temperament.
