Bill Richardson is the current governor of New Mexico. He is in LOS ANGELES today trying to raise funds, meet voters, address issues, etc. His short tour through Southern California was highlighted by a special visit to UCLA. I was there to hear him, and enjoyed hearing his ambitious plan for U.S. foreign policy, specifically in relation to Latin America. His speech was sponsored by the NDN (New Democratic Network), and was held in the California Room in the UCLA Faculty Center on Hilgard Avenue.
Governor Richardson does not seem to be as sharp as Hillary Clinton, for example, but his résumé speaks for itself. He has extensive experience - U.S. Secretary of Energy, U.S. Ambassador, negotiator to North Korea, U.S. Congressman, and now Governor of NM. Wow!
His speech at UCLA today was very interesting, and accompanied by plenty of applause, etc. He requested that the audience stand to applaud the efforts and sacrifices of the firefighters working in the Southland against the wildfires.
Bill Richardson may have a slim chance of winning the Democratic Party's nomination, but he is has great experience and a significantly optimistic and confident plan for Latin America, and diplomacy in general!
