My Take
Tom Perez strikes me as a builder rather than a performer in politics. From Buffalo and a son of immigrants, through Brown University and law, to Labor Secretary, DNC chair, and a senior White House role, his arc is unusually coherent. Recognition like a Time 100 nod tends to follow people who deliver results in unglamorous arenas, and labor and intergovernmental affairs are about as unglamorous as it gets. I value officials who move institutions and quietly improve ordinary lives over those who win attention through rhetoric. Perez reads to me as that scarcer, more useful type: a practitioner.
