My Take

What draws me to John Sullivan is the quiet weight of the work he chose. A Boston-bred Brown lawyer who became deputy secretary of state and then ambassador to Russia from 2020 to 2022, he held the line during one of the tensest stretches in modern US-Russia relations. That is not a job for the spotlight-hungry; it demands composure, restraint, and the willingness to absorb pressure that never makes a headline. I have a soft spot for institutional operators who keep the machinery running while everyone else argues. Sullivan strikes me as exactly that kind of steady, indispensable hand.
