I’m quite impressed with Kamala Harris. Vice-President is normally a near-invisible position, yet the Vice-President has been all over the country and the world promoting the United States abroad and Democratic positions here.

There are a number of state and federal officials who have made their mark nationally.

Off-hand I can think of:

Gov. Gavin Newsom (Calif.)
Gov. JB Pritzker (Ill.)
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.)
Gov. Katie Hobbs (Ariz.)
Gov. Jay Inslee (Wash.)

Sen. Raphael Warnock (Ga.)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.)
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (Ill.)
Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.)
Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.)

Moving up the ladder from lower offices, if you know out-of-state legislators in state or local office they’re already making a mark in wider politics.

Rep. Justin Pearson (Tenn.)
Rep. Justin Jones (Tenn.)
Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh (Nebr.)
Sen. Megan Hunt (Nebr.)
Del. Stacey Plaskett (USVI)
Me (lol)

Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.)
