Virginia Foxx

Virginia Foxx interests me as a study in sheer longevity and conviction. Born in 1943 and educated at UNC Chapel Hill, she built a career in academia as a teacher and dean before turning to politics, where she has held her North Carolina seat for two decades and chaired the House Rules Committee well into her eighties. Whatever one makes of her politics, the stamina to remain a frontline operator at that age is genuinely remarkable. I tend to read her as proof that an education background can sharpen a politician's grip on policy, even amid sharp partisan disagreement.
