Once a steel town, Allentown has evolved into a vibrant, Latino-majority city at the crossroads of change. Mayor Tuerk, the city's first Latino mayor, shares his journey from East Stroudsburg to Allentown's leadership, discussing his Cuban roots, the city's growing diversity, and the shifting industries that shape its economy.

Whether you’re curious about Allentown’s unique identity or the broader implications of Latino influence in swing states, this episode is a must-listen.
