Political diversity doesn't have to be all about race or sex. Diverse backgrounds, skills and passions are also advantageous in politics, where different issues and constituencies often call for different measures of communication. For example, if everyone has an Ivy League education, but no one has good public speaking skills, all of that education is largely lost on constituents who want to hear and trust their political leaders. Similarly, too much focus on one policy area, such as trade, can be harmful. Diverse political leaders can help focus attention on smaller policy areas.
