Subject: Jake Auchincloss
I just read this Brett Stephens’ interview with MA congressman Jake Auchincloss. I’m really impressed with his ideas. Very thoughtful, very intelligent. Someone to fill the current thoughtful and intelligent vacuum in our current politics. And I love his answer to the interviews last question.

First, a brief background paragraph from the gift link of the entire interview below.

Jake Auchincloss — it’s pronounced AW-kin-kloss — is one of the most thoughtful voices in this conversation. The 38-year-old Harvard and M.I.T. graduate and Afghan war veteran, where he served as a Marine officer, is now in his third term as the representative from Massachusetts’s Fourth Congressional District, which stretches from the wealthy Boston suburb of Newton to the working-class city of Fall River.
