“The purpose of this first interim report is to give CBC members information about the actions the Chairman has taken to advance the mission of the esteemed 46-year-old caucus from the day he was sworn in through March 2017. While the CBC’s mission has remained the same since it was established, the tools used to advance the mission have not. This Congress, the CBC is focused on using old and new communications strategies and aggressive and adversarial legislative strategies to expand engagement, economics, and equity in the African-American community.”
