Steve King

Steve King is one of those figures I find impossible to view neutrally. Eighteen years in the House from Iowa, with a background in business before politics, gave him an unmistakably grassroots, Midwestern stubbornness. His tenure was deeply polarizing, and I won't pretend otherwise, but there's a certain consistency to how unyieldingly he held his positions. Whether or not one shares his views, he embodied a kind of conviction politics that rarely softens for convenience. I watch his career with mixed feelings, fascinated by how far raw, unbending self-belief can carry a politician in American life.
