How about Charles Evans Hughes? 1906-1941 is a pretty impressive run, considering that along the way he was Governor of New York, Secretary of State, and Chief Justice.
And no one has mentioned any of the founders (besides Adams)? Washington from the beginning of the revolution to his death. Jefferson was prominent from 1776 until his death. It's somewhat hard to pinpoint Ben Franklin's rise to prominence, since he is more than a political figure, but obviously him as well.
