My Take
Peter Meijer is one of the more intriguing young figures in recent American politics. Heir to the Meijer retail dynasty and a Columbia graduate, he could have coasted on name and money; instead he served in the military, including in a war zone, before entering Congress. What stays with me is his apparent willingness to break from his own party when conviction demanded it, a rare and costly trait. I'm drawn to politicians who try to stand on their own record rather than an inherited brand, and I'm genuinely curious where his independent streak takes him next.
