Madrid served as the political director for the California Republican Party, and has been senior adviser to both Democrats and Republicans. He is perhaps best known as a cofounder of The Lincoln Project.\n\nMadrid will be no stranger to our regular listeners - he has for years been making his case for questioning the 'conventional wisdom' regarding Latino voters, and argues that both parties are stuck in an out of date orthodoxy - and has the data to back it up.\n\nThe Latino Century will be released on June 18. Sacramento listeners are invited to Join Madrid Tuesday, June 18 at Mayahuel, 1200 K Street, for a discussion with Chris Cadelago of POLITICO from Noon to 2PM, or at reception from 5 to 7PM at the same address.\n\n.50 The Latino Century\n2:46 Challenging the notion of race in both parties\n4:42 How is the GOP getting it wrong\n8:12 The Monoculture\n10:35 Are Dems really in lockstep?\n13:01 How do we get past the ultra polarization?\n17:36 Brian Dahle's gubernatorial performance\n19:15 Crime, housing, education and healthcare\n23:06 Who are some politicians getting it right?\n24:54 Looking nationally\n27:03 \"The Republican Party in California is 80% white\"\n31:25 What is the takeaway from the book?\n35:03 Mike Madrid: artist\n39:45 WWCA: Water is for fighting\n\nWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?
