Knowledge is Power!
“Tribune: Final question: Theres lots being made of the fact that youre Hispanic. Maybe too much is being made of it. But Id like your analysis of how that heritage helps you in the campaign and hinders you in the campaign.
Richardson: Well, I make it very clear that I am running as a New Mexico governor, an American whos very proud to be Hispanic. Im not running as the Hispanic governor only interested in Hispanic issues and only helping Hispanic people. Ive always been a mainstream candidate who happens to be very proud of being Hispanic.
How can it help? Well, theres a lot of Hispanics in this country that may take some pride that one of their own is vying for president. Maybe itll motivate them to register and vote and participate. Im not sure. I sure hope so.”
