NCLR HAILS THE ELECTION OF ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA AS MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES

Washington, DC - The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., hails the momentous victory of Antonio Villaraigosa, who today becomes Los Angeles, California's first Latino mayor since 1872.

"Villaraigosa's election marks an historic moment for Latinos throughout the nation, who join with the entire Los Angeles community in celebrating the long-awaited return of a Latino mayor to the city with the largest Latino population in the country," stated Janet Murguia, NCLR President and CEO. "Today is also significant for the people of Los Angeles who are fortunate to have such a committed and capable leader who will work tirelessly to ensure that Los Angeles is responsive to all of its residents."

"Villaraigosa won this election with a broad base of supporters, and it is especially heartening that Angelenos came together from so many different communities to support a Latino candidate," Murguia continued. "This victory speaks to Villaraigosa's unique purpose as a unifier of diverse communities, and we welcome his forward-thinking leadership at the national level."
