334. Henry Walther

334. Our interview with Henry Walther, President of the College Democrats of Louisiana. Walther says his first initiatives as the new president of the statewide chapter are to guide new college chapters as they begin to structure their respective organizations. “From the state federation level, I think we should still give a lot of flexibility to school chapters, because I go to school in New Orleans, and I don’t know what’s happening in Lafayette,” Walther said. “My main goal is just going to be able to provide additional support, especially for new chapters. They’re just getting started. That’s kind of our number one priority for this academic year.”
