My Take
Marty Walsh has the kind of resume I instinctively trust. Born in Dorchester in 1967 and rooted in the labor movement, he rose from union organizing to become mayor of Boston and then U.S. Secretary of Labor. That is not a theorist landing atop labor policy; it is someone who actually worked the floor before he set national policy for working people. The straight line from his Boston neighborhood through Boston College to a federal cabinet post gives his voice real authority. I respect politicians whose consistency is earned on the ground rather than performed, and his is.
