The Congressional Black Caucus and Veterans Affairs with Former Executive Director of the CBC, Abdul Henderson

We’re super excited about this episode and not just because we have another Tom Steyer for Prez alumni tap. We’re excited for about five million reasons, but especially because in this episode we tackle two topics we have yet to touch. Yep, that’s right, we are scratching new surfaces this week. Helping us do so, our amazing guest, Abdul Henderson, who is both the former Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus, the former Director of International Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, a former Chief of Staff and so much more, enlisted his vast experience to help us understand these critical government institutions and organizations. In our conversation, we define caucuses at their base and work our way up to the magic of the Congressional Black Caucus itself. We also, and importantly, dive into the operations of the Department of Veterans Affairs, peeling back what often seems like many mysterious layers, to get an understanding of what the department does and how it achieves its policy goals.
