LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to Chair Democratic Convention | Fox News Latino: "The Democratic Party has chosen Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to chair the party's national convention this summer in Charlotte, N.C. in a move by the party to woo Latino support.
The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, says in an email to DNC members that Villaraigosa will be nominated to chair the September convention.
Chairing the national convention, where Democrats are expected to nominate President Barack Obama for a second term, will place Villaraigosa in a national spotlight. Overseeing the gathering will also place the Latino mayor front and center as Democrats garner Latino support for Obama and other candidates.
Wasserman Schultz tells DNC members that Villaraigosa has empowered people during his career and will encourage engagement from Americans across the country."
