Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has announced he plans to seek California’s highest office in 2018, after months of speculation. “I’m running for governor to do big things — starting with rebuilding our middle class by investing in our schools and repairing our infrastructure,” said a statement on Villaraigosa’s new campaign website antonioforcalifornia.com. “We’re never going to make this state work for us again unless we give voice to the people who are all too often not heard in Sacramento.”

Villygarossa is broke and he needs a job. He has never done an honest day’s work in his life.

I actually hope he wins. He will raise taxes even more and regulate the crap out of that state. The quicker the collapse!

See, see - Republicans in Sacramento are stopping our progress! If we elect Democrats things will get better!

“John and Ken are going will have lots of materials for the next 2 years.”

Didn’t he take on a combined name from Villar, and Raigosa

with his ex-wife etc.?

Ken and John’s influence and reach is very big.

But the diverse audience Tony would be trying to gain, probably will hear him gibbing other folk’s stuff away.

They just rejected more moderate Sanchez, for Harris—a radical to replace radical Boxer.

Reconquista here he comes. They can have the lower half since possession is 9/10s of the law and they already have that in the bag. Just OT a dime. They’ll be Mexio’s to support and since hey’re such leeches it’ll save us a ton of money...

And he has to take on Gavin Newsom, who is also eyeing the 2018 California Governor job.

Dream on. This is what he said per another article:

"This week, our nation chose a new president," Villaraigosa begins in his video. "That is why I think this is exactly the time to remember the vision that has always made California great. We are a state that builds bridges, not walls, we are inclusive, we celebrate our diversity and welcome newcomers because we know the answer to fear is hope."

Tony Villar is a worn out union thug. And just what the idiots in CA will vote for.

He was at UCLA for 4 years & the most he accomplished was to be the lead organizer for LA RAZA.

Be very careful, California.

HIS middle class is an illegal Hispanic who actually has some clothes & a hoopdee car.

TIME TO LEAVE CALIF.......But leave your Liberal thoughts there. Get a political makeover before you pack your things.
