Richie Ross, a Sacramento based Democratic Party political consultant along with union activist Maria Elena Durazo, her husband, her prediessor Miguel Contreras, California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, linked immigrant union workers with immigrant voters to double the votes cast by Latinos in the early 90s.
In 2000, Latinos were told to pledge to get 100% of their family to vote.
In 2005, the Latinos increased their vote for Villaraigosa by 50%.
In 2010, Maria Elena and Fabian Nunez used the Arizona anti-illegal alien law to push for pushing a vote for Jerry Brown. Latinos accounted for 22% of Californias voters.
The Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists for America are both committed to increase the Latino vote.
Maria Elena Durazo is closely allied with the two communist groups, Antonia Villaraigosa, and Gil Cedillo. They all trained under Communist Party USA activist Bert Corona.
A young Bert Corona was mentored by communist International Longshore Workers Union president Harry Bridges. It was Bridges that convinced Obamas communist friend Frank Marshall Davis to move to Hawaii. Davis was a writer for the unions newspaper.
Durazo, Cedillo and Villaraigosa were trained at Bert Coronas radical Centro de Action Social Autonoma (CASA) in the 1970s.
Both Durazo and Cedillo were connected to another Corona founded communist party spinoff, Mexican American Political Association.
In 1998, the Los Angeles Democratic Socialists of America leader Steve Tarzynski sent an email to Los Angeles DSA comrade Harold Meyerson. Meyerson, a columnist with the Washington Post introduced Barack Obama to the wider American Public.
Tarzynski listed in his email, 25 people he thought should be on an A-list of leaders to strategize on the progressive movement. That list included Maria Elena Durazo, Miguel Contreras, Gil Cedillo, Anonio Villraigosa, Stanley Sheinbaum, Karen Bass, Xavier Becerra, Henry Waxman, and Maxine Waters.
Peter Dreier of Occidental College wrote of Villaraigosas victory and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis in the DSAs Democratic Left, Winter 2006 saying that it is just remarkable what L.A. has become.
