Justin Amash

Justin Amash fascinates me as a politician who valued principle over party loyalty. Serving Michigan's third district for a decade and then leaving the Republican Party to become an independent in 2019 is the kind of costly, conviction-driven move that earns my respect even from those who disagree with him. As one of the first Palestinian and Syrian Americans in Congress, he also embodied a broader American story. A University of Michigan-trained lawyer, he brought rigor to his arguments. I am drawn to figures who refuse to drift with the current, and Amash, for better or worse, clearly belonged to that stubborn breed.
