My Take
I don't usually warm to politicians, but Thom Tillis's climb earns a measure of respect from me. Born in Jacksonville, he earned his degree through what's now the University of Maryland Global Campus, moved from consulting into the state legislature, served as North Carolina House speaker, and reached the U.S. Senate in 2015. That's a methodical, ground-up trajectory rather than an inherited one. Whatever one thinks of his Republican politics, I read him as a process-and-logistics operator more than a firebrand, the kind who builds influence by stacking small wins rather than chasing headlines.
