Marsha Blackburn

What strikes me about Marsha Blackburn is the arc itself: a small-town Mississippi girl who built a business career before climbing all the way to the United States Senate from Tennessee. Whatever one makes of her politics, the sheer staying power is hard to ignore. I tend to trust politicians who have actually run something in the private sector before legislating, and her business-executive background shows in how plainly she frames an argument. She is a fighter who thrives on conviction, and even her critics rarely accuse her of being timid. That blend of grit and clarity is, to me, the most interesting thing about her.
