My Take
What draws me to Stephanie Herseth Sandlin is the weight of representing an entire sparsely populated state as its single at-large member of Congress. A Georgetown-trained lawyer from tiny Houghton, South Dakota, she carried that responsibility from 2004 to 2011. Being the lone voice for a whole state demands less showmanship and more persistence, the patient work of carrying rural concerns all the way to Washington. I'm always more impressed by politicians who win young yet stay grounded in their home soil, and her record reads to me like exactly that kind of grounded public service.
