A coalition of California Latino leaders came together yesterday and announced their support of Barack Obama at the Obama for America Los Angeles Headquarters. State Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D-22), Vice Chair of the Latino Legislative Caucus, has announced his support for Senator Barack Obama. He had previously backed New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. A longtime champion of social justice, Senator Cedillo cited Senator Obama's commitment to bringing about fundamental change in Washington, creating economic opportunity for all Americans, and push for comprehensive immigration reform. Senator Cedillo represents the communities of Los Angeles, Alhambra, Maywood, San Marino, South Pasadena, and Vernon. "Senator Obama's message of change, hope, and unity is inspiring the people of California, many of whom have never before been involved in politics, to stand up and be counted," said Senator Cedillo. "I believe he is right for the Latino community on the issues, and I'm going to spend the coming weeks leading up to the vote on February 5th talking to the Latino community about why Barack Obama is the best candidate for us." Former State Senator Martha Escutia, the first woman to serve as the chair of the Legislative Latino Caucus, also announced her support of Barack Obama. She formerly supported Governor Richardson. Senator Escutia served 14 years in the state legislature. Also in attendance were State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero (D-24), the highest ranking female in the State Legislature and chair of California Latinos for Obama; State Senator Dean Florez (D-16), the only Democratic State Senator to represent the Central Valley; and Pomona Mayor Norma Torres. Giselle Fernandez, community leader in Los Angeles and former journalist with CBS and NBC News, served as the Emcee.

Orange County - despite its reputation as a Republican stronghold - is second only to Los Angeles County for the number of Democrats living there. Yet, it is too often written off by Democratic candidates. Not so, the Obama campaign.

Hundreds stopped by to celebrate and work, as Senator Obama's unprecedented grassroots campaign continued to build momentum and strength across the Golden State. Stop by the office at 214 N. Broadway to get involved, or check out http://California.BarackObama.com for more info.
