On this episode, we’re joined by Demond Matthews, an alumnus of the Political Management program at GSPM and a long-time public servant who has served his country in the military with the U.S. Air Force and in the federal government, with stops at the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Today, Demond serves as Congressional Liaison at the EPA, where he serves as the agency’s principal point of contact for members of Congress and their staffs — and is responsible for assisting, developing and implementing the legislative agenda for the agency. He was also a Brookings LEGIS Congressional Fellow in 2021.
