Rising Political Star?

El Paso congressman Beto O’Rourke has been criss-crossing Texas in a long-shot campaign to unseat incumbent senator Ted Cruz. The Democratic candidate is pinning his hopes on first-time voters: “Texas isn’t a red state or a blue state, it’s a non-voting state.” In this conversation, the US Senate hopeful discusses about the Dreamers, gun control, marijuana legalization, and campaign financing.

Guest: Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-El Paso, Candidate to the US Senate, Washington, DC.

Pennsylvania: New Political Map. Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court announced this week new boundaries for the state’s congressional districts, on time for the May 15th primary. The court ruled illegal and gerrymandered a Republican congressional map. President Trump and Republican leaders in the state warn they will take this case all the way to the US Supreme Court. All eyes in the nation are on this case, and an analyst comments on the ramifications for Latino voters.

Guest: Wilfredo Seda, Producer/Host, WLCH Radio Centro, Operations Manager, Tele Centro, Lancaster, PA.
