Ken Salazar

Ken Salazar interests me because his arc holds together so consistently. From small-town Alamosa, Colorado, to Michigan Law, then the Senate, the Interior Department under Obama, and finally the ambassadorship to Mexico, he kept moving without losing his footing. Running Interior, the steward of America's land and resources, suited a man so clearly shaped by place. What I respect is the steadiness rather than the spectacle, the sense of someone who built trust by showing up and doing the work. Grounded public servants like him rarely make noise, but they tend to leave durable things behind.
