“Mission first, people always.” In this episode of 13th & Park, Congressman John James—West Point graduate, former Apache helicopter pilot, and Michigan’s U.S. Representative—shares how his background in military leadership and business shapes his approach to public service. From insights on resilient supply chains and bipartisan solutions to his unwavering commitment to service before self, John offers a compelling look at leadership, policy, and what it takes to drive real-world impact. Congressman James is also a proud member of the bipartisan For Country Caucus, working alongside fellow veteran lawmakers to put principles before politics.
