I have always gone where the fight is — no matter how tough. Even before serving in Congress, my career was grounded in servant leadership. Even as I rose up the ranks to be an Army Captain and a paratrooper, I never forgot what it was like to walk in the boots of a Private. I learned leaders are last to eat and first to jump out of the plane.
That’s the essence of servant leadership: To think about others before yourself. And to step up and lead when the time calls.
That's not the kind of leadership we're getting from Donald Trump right now.
