We already have a Tulsi Gabbard thread here but there are others:
Housing and Urban Devleopment: Robert Woodson of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise in DC
I know some brehs and brehettes on the Coli are all on that Black conservative=c00n crap and I don't trust Trump and Bannon but I would have to if Robert Woodson got HUD. He is critical of liberal government policies in the hood but he actually has his own organization (not just warming a seat at some think tank) and has stood up for Black people when some conservative rhetoric got out of hand.
He and Glenn Loury were the only two Black conservatives to resign from the American Enterprise Institute in the 1990s to protest the book The End of Racism by then rising star Dinesh D'Souza (The Bell Curve "Blacks are likely dumb for genetic reasons" came out at AEI at roughly the same time). They publicly panned it and nearly destroyed their careers in the process--but it showed they had balls and weren't on that
Education: Michelle Rhee apparently visited. I didn't live in DC while she headed the schools but she was either praised or hated (along with Adrian Fenty). Any DMV posters care to chime in? She got re-married though to a brother (the mayor of Sacramento) though I don't know much about him.
Any others anyone heard about?
