Ridge and Mayorkas both had education (JD), Mayorkas had the backing of Fraternal Order of Police (largest police union). But, I see your point.From Ridge to Mayorkas; who would you look back on and say, "that one was qualified?"
IF you look, you'll find about the same number of people with law backgrounds as the number with governorship backgrounds (Noem being one) and then one who came up through the rank and file of DHS.
