U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is one of the most respected and astute policy analysts and legislative thinkers on Capitol Hill.  In today’s conversation, we connect with him on a range of policy topics and hear his prescriptions for how activists can move the needle on tough issues like climate change and gun control.  We hear about some of his successes in working across the aisle to achieve bipartisan legislative victories. And we learn more about the fun and spontaneous side of him not always in public view.
