My Take
I find Kim Reynolds' trajectory more compelling than her politics, whichever way you lean. Starting as a pharmacy technician in tiny St. Charles, Iowa, then serving four terms as a county treasurer before climbing through the state senate to become Iowa's first female governor is a genuinely ground-up ascent. There's something distinctly American about a person who learns governance from the bottom rung of local administration rather than from elite credentials. Her induction into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame feels earned by persistence. I respect that grind even when I'd reserve judgment on the policy.
