Our first interview with each Councilmember always takes a biographical, getting-to-know-you approach, so that residents have insight into who their Councilmembers are and what makes them tick.

In our conversation with At-Large Councilmember Christina Henderson, we hear about her growing up as an Army brat, how her time working as a Council staffer prepared her for her current role, and her take on Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader. Plus, as always in our initial interview, she ranks her favorite dessert categories.
