I was going to be both happier and more effective, more productive, working on something that I did care about, something that was important, not because a client was paying me to care about it, but because it just mattered in and of itself. And then I don't want to get into like the entire long story, but we talked earlier about Kokomo, Indiana, Howard County.

So that's got thousands of Chrysler jobs. And while I was having this struggle at McKinsey over whether I really wanted to keep being a consultant or not, I saw that the state treasurer of my home state of Indiana

was for very like ideological reasons trying to block the obama administration from saving chrysler so the the the auto company is about to go under all of them were the administration intervened and they figured out a way to basically bail out and save these auto companies so they get back on their feet and keep employing thousands and thousands of people across the country

And because I grew up in South Bend where an auto company had collapsed, and because I had visited Kokomo where there was an auto company that hadn't collapsed, but I knew what would happen if it did, I was really, really fired up about this guy, the Indiana State Treasurer, going all the way to the Supreme Court trying to sue to stop those companies from being saved.

And there's a whole crazy legal theory of how he got to be the one to do it. But what he was really doing was politically, he, uh, obviously state treasurers are not very prominent, but he picked this big fight with Obama and it got him on TV and it was kind of a political maneuver. I thought like the state treasurer should be the most boring job in government, right?

You shouldn't be like out on crusades, especially ones that if you get your way, it would destroy auto jobs in a place that counts on them. So I started asking who's going to run against this guy. And, um, this is 2010. Um, it turned out like nobody in my party was going to run against him.

Um, probably because everybody correctly figured out that a midterm election in a state like Indiana for a down ballot, like obscure race, like running for state treasurer, like you weren't gonna, you're probably gonna get crushed. And I ran and I got crushed, but I learned everything there was to learn about kind of campaigns.
