EXCERPT:

HOGG: “I think what we’re trying to do is make sure that we’re able to get to expand things like the Congressional Black Caucus. We’re not looking to challenge people that, you know, have incredible legacies, like Congressman Clyburn, for example. And I would also say, across the board, there are people with, you know, a wide array of views on these.

And I try to take that in myself. Like, I'm — I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever been a perfect person by any means, but I’d also be clear in saying that what we’re looking to do here is make sure that we’re bringing in a generation of young people that is truly representative of our generation. That includes expanding things like the CBC, expanding things like the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and a whole lot more."
