Andraé Evans was recently elected supervisor in the town of Irondequoit. He's the first Black person elected to a supervisor position in a Monroe County suburb. But Evans, a proud Democrat, tends to focus more on his resume and values: he's a decorated combat veteran who speaks often of honor, sacrifice, and selfless service.

We discuss the work that lies ahead for Evans and his team.
