Johnny Isakson

Johnny Isakson strikes me as a vanishing kind of politician. An Atlanta businessman turned legislator, he climbed from the Georgia statehouse to the U.S. House and then the Senate from 2005, serving until health forced his 2019 resignation. What earns my respect is the grace of his exit: facing Parkinson's, he stepped aside honestly rather than clinging to power. By many accounts he kept a reputation for civility across the aisle, a trait that feels increasingly rare. He died in 2021, and I tend to remember figures like him for the steadiness and decency more than the headlines.
