Clinton is in Los Angeles this evening to raise a reported $700,000.00 at a dinner with Hollywood heavyweights. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson said: "I want Latino voters, not candidates" after learning that Villaraigosa would not be supporting him, the only Hispanic Presidential candidate.
Clinton called Villaraigosa: "an honest optimist and a practical visionary." CA Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angles) has also endorsed Clinton. Villaraigosa will now serve as one of four national chairs in the Clinton campaign.
