Rep. Julio Cortes joins us for conversation on Capitol Ideas today that touches on at-risk youth, the purposely slow pace of lawmaking, maintaining a positive attitude in challenging times, and industrial symbiosis. You'll have to listen to find out what that is.

This is the third legislative session for Rep. Julio Cortes, and his second visit to Capitol Ideas. Today he reflects on the difference between being a brand-new legislator and a veteran, talks about his journey from one capitol -- Mexico City -- to another, and explains his bills, his committee leadership and the work of the Latino Democratic Caucus...and does it all in 20 minutes!
