My Take
I've got a soft spot for politicians who start out as language people, and Megumi Hirose fits that mold perfectly. She came up in Morioka, that snowy stretch of Iwate, then studied foreign languages at Sophia University in Tokyo, which tells me she's the type who wants to see both the wider world and her own backyard with equal seriousness. What gets me is that even her social handles carry "Iwate" right in the name, so you can tell where her heart points. Politics is a thankless, take-the-arrows trade, but I always end up quietly rooting for the ones who show up carrying their hometown on their back like she does.
