Vince Evans leaving White House to return the Hill as Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus

Vince Evans, a 2011 FAMU political science graduated, has been tapped by Congressional Black Caucus Chair US Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) to serve as 
executive director of the 56-member caucus. Evans will work closely with the Beatty to help execute her vision.
 
“Vincent will help the CBC reach greater heights and make substantive advances in 2022,” Beatty said. “In addition to his experience, he brings great passion for further strengthening the CBC’s top priorities moving forward.”
 
“I started my career in Washington working for a member of the CBC so I know firsthand the tremendous leadership and impact this caucus has in Congress and across the country,” he said. “As we write the next chapter of the CBC story, I am excited for the opportunity to lend my experience and passion for supporting the collective vision of this storied caucus.”
 
Evans, a native of Green Cove Springs, FL, began his political career as an aide to a Tallahassee city commissioner and on the senior staff of US Rep. Al Lawson (D-Fla.). 
 
During the 2020 presidential cycle, he was Southern political director for the Biden campaign and political director for the vice presidential nominee.  He later joined the Biden-Harris administration as the Deputy Director of Public Engagement in the office of the Vice President.

“He just brings a wealth of knowledge to the caucus, and I think that’s very important because you have a lot of different personalities,” Lawson said.

Evans' last day at the White House is this Friday. He will assume his new role with the CBC on Monday, January 10, 2022.
