Vern Buchanan

Buchanan interests me less as a partisan figure than as a study in reinvention. A Detroit kid who built businesses, served in the Air National Guard, and then translated all that into a long congressional career in Florida has clearly mastered more than one arena. I won't pretend to judge his politics, but I do think operators who've actually met a payroll bring a grounded pragmatism to legislating that career insiders often lack. His durability in office suggests a politician who keeps his ear to the local ground in Bradenton. To me that staying power is the real story worth noticing.
