Luis Miranda joined Errol Louis to discuss his journey from Puerto Rico to New York and how he got his start as a political consultant. Miranda reflected on his days working in Mayor Ed Koch’s administration and with David Dinkins.
He also talked about his attempts to get more diverse candidates elected to office and increase the Latinx vote, and he weighed in on the changing landscape of the Democratic Party.
And he discussed efforts to help Puerto Rico recover after Hurricane Maria, including an ambitious goal to bring his son's award-winning production of “Hamilton” to the island.
His life is the subject of a new documentary, “Siempre, Luis,” which is available now on HBO Max.
