On the Mayor’s Race in Los Angeles
(It’s Mayoral election time in Los Angeles, Calfornia, and the stakes are high. City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa could become the city's first Latino mayor since 1872. Xispas staffers have diverse political opinions, here’s one from editor & proofreader, Rachel Retana-Shelton)
Hahn and Villaraigosa are once again in the run-off for mayor. This time the Latino voters of LA need to help Villaraigosa win. We live in an area that was first inhabited by Latinos, a city with a Spanish name. Why haven't we had a Latino mayor for over a century? Hahn has proved himself inept and out of touch with the minorities of this city. When the run-off comes around we owe it to this city and ourselves to help give Latinos a voice in this city again. Latinos are the largest minority group in Los Angeles, it is about time we had a Latino mayor again. I am happy that Villaraigosa made it into the run-off. Now we need to help him bring a Latino mayor back to Los Angeles.
