My Take
Kay Ivey is a study in the long game, and that is what draws me to her story. Born in Camden, Alabama in 1944 and educated at Auburn, she started as a high school teacher before moving into government affairs and slowly climbing through the state's institutions. Becoming the 54th governor of Alabama in 2017, and still serving in her eighties, she embodies a patient, ground-up rise rather than a meteoric one. Whatever one makes of the politics, I respect the durability. Trust accumulated step by step tends to outlast charisma, and her career is a quiet argument for persistence.
