Mike Leavitt

What impresses me about Mike Leavitt is the sheer range of his public service. Born in Cedar City, Utah, and educated at Southern Utah University, he climbed steadily from local roots to a decade as governor, then to running the Environmental Protection Agency, and finally to leading Health and Human Services. Holding senior posts at both the state and federal level is rare, and it suggests a man who wins trust through competence rather than flash. I have a quiet respect for grounded administrators like him who master the unglamorous machinery of governing and keep delivering.
