GRANGER, Wash. (AP) — A former Mexico attorney general is now overseeing operations of Yakima Valley radio station KDNA, which calls itself the “voice of the farm worker.”

Jorge Madrazo Cuellar was attorney general for four years under Mexico President Ernesto Zedillo in the 1990s. Cuellar landed in Seattle in 2001 as Mexican consul. Six years later he went to work for Sea Mar Community Health Centers.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports (http://bit.ly/nLQ2XN) the Seattle nonprofit purchased the Spanish-language radio station last month. Sea Mar also operates a Spanish-language radio station in Seattle.
