My Take
Kathleen Blanco earns my lasting respect as the first and so far only woman elected governor of Louisiana. A teacher turned politician, she rose through a system that rarely made room for women, and then found herself leading the state through Hurricane Katrina in 2005, one of the cruelest tests any governor has faced. History debated her choices, but I judge a leader by whether they stood their ground in the storm, and she did not run. From the classroom to the governor's office, her life was about service. She passed in 2019; I tip my hat to her.
