In today's polarized political times it's hard to find an issue that actually brings people together but that's exactly what Juan Cotto, Bloodworks' Senior Government Affairs and Community Engagement Strategist does every time he talks to Olympia lawmakers about blood donation. And as he tells Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager, that makes Juan a busy guy ... on both sides of the aisle. Oh, and he's a big football fan as well.
