Thomas Massie

Thomas Massie strikes me as an engineer first and a politician second, and that's exactly why he interests me. Winning the 1995 Lemelson-MIT Prize before founding a company and becoming a business executive, he arrived in Congress having actually built things, an increasingly rare credential. I tend to trust politicians who made something real before they made speeches, and Massie's path from inventor to lawmaker is genuinely hard to dismiss.
