My Take
Mitch Landrieu interests me as a politician who chose the harder, principled path. Born into a New Orleans political dynasty, he could have coasted, but as mayor from 2010 to 2018 he led the city through real challenges and delivered a speech on removing Confederate monuments that I still consider one of the more courageous in recent American civic life, recognized with a Profile in Courage Award. What I admire is the blend of lawyerly discipline and moral clarity. He strikes me as someone more interested in doing the right thing than the easy thing, which is rarer than it should be.
