"As a Mayor and former Assembly Speaker, I know that experience counts," Villaraigosa said. "Hillary Clinton is the only candidate with the ability to hit the ground running on her first day in the White House. Her depth and breadth of experience is unmatched, and I'm confident she will be the kind of partner our cities and towns need from the federal government."
Long recognized as a rising star, Villaraigosa was named one of "America's Best Leaders" by U.S. News & World Report, and has been featured on the cover of Newsweek and named one of the 25 most influential Latinos by Time Magazine. He is the first Latino to serve as Mayor of Los Angeles since 1872.
Villaraigosa previously served as Speaker of the California Assembly, passing legislation to expand children's healthcare, ban assault weapons and create the largest network of urban neighborhood parks in the country.
Villaraigosa is a co-Chair of Hillary's national campaign.
