...and can't help much with the links, but he's my hero, too! So many reasons...
In short, he's the opposite of everything Trump stands for and is. 🇺🇸

...for my respect of his leadership. The first are the policies he believes in and has consistently fought for all his life. Those beliefs form a foundation of trust. The second is his personal quality of integrity and how it guides everything he chooses to do, both in his professional and personal life.
It would be easy to expand on both reasons...at great length...but for now I'll just leave it there.
BTW...it also summarizes, for me, why I could never support a person like Trump. Trump is his polar opposite. 😖

I'd say: commitment, integrity, perseverance, at the forefront of environmental issues, creative and indefatigable diplomat.
Fighting for what's right whether or not he gets political points for it (in other words, integrity).

He's my hero, too!
