My Take
Malinowski interests me because he carries a sensibility you rarely see in elected politicians. A Princeton kid and Berkeley graduate who became a Rhodes Scholar, he could have chosen any comfortable path, yet he committed himself to human rights. Serving as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor under Obama before winning a New Jersey House seat, he tried to translate ideals into policy. His diplomatic background means he knows the messy realities, not just the theory. Politics rarely rewards principle, so I quietly applaud a man who carried the human rights banner all the way into Congress.
