Luther Strange

Luther Strange is one of those figures whose biography reads stranger than fiction, fitting name aside. A basketball player turned lawyer turned Alabama Attorney General turned U.S. Senator is a remarkable arc of reinvention. His short Senate tenure, filling the seat Jeff Sessions vacated, was politically fraught, but I'm more struck by the underlying drive across such different arenas. The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award hints at a disciplined streak beneath the politics. I find his mix of Southern affability and institutional ambition genuinely interesting, the kind of public life that resists easy summary.
