Richard Raymond and Antonio Villaraigosa

For those of you on the lookout for rising Hispanic political stars here are two bright possibilities in watch in 2005 and 2006. Richard Raymond, one of the most impressive Democrats in the Texas legislature is weighing an intra-party challenge to Rep. Henry Cuellar (though of course I also like the man that Cuellar pushed out of office in the last election cycle, former Rep. Ciro Rodriguez). And in California, former Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa, the guy that I hoped would win four years ago, has a big lead in the race for mayor of Los Angeles.
