Wes Moore

Wes Moore's resume reads like several lives compressed into one: Army officer, Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, investment banker, author, and now the 63rd governor of Maryland. What impresses me isn't the length of that list but the conviction behind each chapter. Born in Maryland and raised largely in New York, he didn't coast into power. I'm drawn to leaders who carry firsthand experience of hardship and service into office, because it tends to keep policy honest and human. Plenty of talented people scatter their gifts; Moore seems to thread them onto a single purpose. That focus is exactly what I want in public life.
