This week, Dr. Nola Haynes sits down with Senator Chris Van Hollen for a conversation that goes beyond Washington politics. As the son of a U.S. Foreign Service officer, Van Hollen grew up overseas, giving him a unique perspective on America's role in the world—and the challenges facing working families here at home.
Together, they discuss affordability, the Working Americans' Tax Cut Act, and the lessons Maryland offers about governing. They also explore how global experiences shape public service, the music that reminds him of home, and what Washington can learn from policies that promise big change but fall short.
