L.A. Mayoral Candidates Court Latino Voters
By Maeve Reston, Los Angeles Times
The two candidates vying to be mayor of Los Angeles courted Latino voters Saturday, promising to do more to help those who are seeking citizenship and to make greater efforts to clean up and enhance Latino neighborhoods such as Boyle Heights and Pacoima.
Appealing to Latino voters who could account for as much as a third of the city electorate, Wendy Greuel and Eric Garcetti fielded questions at the Coconut Grove Auditorium at a forum sponsored by the education fund of the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, along with other local groups.
