Today I had the pleasure to talk to a returning guest, Mr George Marquez.  The first time I spoke to Mr Marquez he stopped by to talk to Calexico's Rotary Club since he is the current president for the chapter.  This time he stopped by to talk to us about his campaign to run for Imperial County's District Attorney.  He talked to us why he feels his experience as a prosecutor and as a public defender can help him become a  good District Attorney and how he plans to fix one of the things he feels the DA's offices needs fixing, high rate turnover.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to a life long BroleÑo, Imperial valley High School football hall of famer, Calexico High School former teacher and local activist, Mr Eric Reyes.  Mr Reyes is part of several organization and committees that war looking to bring social justice and equality to everyone in our community especially our local farm worker.  In today's episode I wanted to dive into Mr Reye's upbringing and to kind of learn what gave him this passion to do the work that he's doing.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to a local football legend, Tony Butch Morales.  Growing up, believe it or not, I wanted to be a QB I used to watch Dan Marino and then John Elway and locally Butch was someone who I looked up.  In 1994 he lead Calexico to a DVL championship, as Calexico finished a successful 2021-22 football season it was nice to go down memory lane and talk some football with Butch.  He's been helping some of our local QBs improve their skills and looking forward helping out more of our youth get better.
