Happy Sunday! Over the past few months, I have had the honor and privilege of being a surrogate for the Harris Walz Campaign. Many, not all, of our values align but particularly their fight for a true multiracial DEMOCRACY. VP Harris and Governor Walz understand that diversity is our strength not our weakness.

In traversing the country from Louisiana to Illinois, Virginia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania I have a renewed hope for our future, a hope invoked and embedded in action. Our Democratic experiment is not self sustaining but maintained and flourishing when we get involved, participate, and vote.

Louisiana has 2 more days of early voting (Virginia had almost a month of early voting). Please check your particular states window and get to the polls as soon as possible! Our country, our democracy, our children are depending on you.

Be Blessed 🙏🏾

Summer Updates in Reverse Part 1:

Got a cool opportunity to be featured on David Axelrod’s, President Obama’s Former Chief Strategist, podcast “Axe Files” a few days ago. Great conversation about my background and leading in the military, a pandemic, and overall in or out of office. Check it out at the link below.

Happy to announce that I’ve been selected as a Fellow for Stanford’s Hoover Institute! Finally got accepted to a west coast school 😂

Located on the campus of Stanford University and in Washington, DC, the Hoover Institution is the nation’s preeminent research center dedicated to generating policy ideas that promote economic prosperity, national security, and democratic governance.

Wrapped up my last seminar with guest speaker, Marquel Sennet, the former Shreveport Communications Director currently serving in the same role at the Caddo Parish School Board. Ms. Sennet spoke about her time as a reporter, in the Mayor’s Office, and the current local media landscape. She candidly shared the successes and challenges of communicating in an information dense environment, the proliferation of disinformation, and strategies for public officials to break through the noise. The UChicago students and I were grateful to cap off the semester with such a superstar visit.

Had a great time yesterday with my first guest speaker who was none other than former Shreveport Chief Technology Officer, Keith Hanson. Keith spoke to the University of Chicago Students about his experiences in local government, particularly around his efforts bridging the digital divide. Hopefully, this next generation of leaders won’t be dealing with digital access problems, but if so, after yesterday’s discussion they’ll be better prepared to solve them.
