My Take

What draws me to Shaun Donovan is that he built a career around something deeply human: where and how people live. As Obama's HUD secretary and later director of the Office of Management and Budget, he never chased the spotlight; he worked the unglamorous machinery of housing and federal budgets. His Harvard design-school background tells me he approached policy with an architect's eye for how a city actually functions. I have a soft spot for the steady, behind-the-scenes operators who hold systems together rather than the loud performers, and Donovan strikes me as exactly that kind of quietly indispensable figure.
