statesmen
Wise political figures
Statesmen is the plural of statesman—a political leader respected for wisdom, integrity, and skill in governing.
The term implies experience and a commitment to public good over personal gain: The treaty was negotiated by elder statesmen from both nations.
Statesman carries more gravitas than politician, suggesting someone who rises above partisan interests.
