“On this city’s Hispanic-heavy west side, in the working-class neighborhood that launched the career of favorite son Henry Cisneros, it’s all Clinton country.

Mr. Cisneros, who became the city’s first Hispanic mayor in modern times and later housing secretary under President Bill Clinton, was a big cheerleader for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during her visits to Texas. And his wife, Mary Alice Cisneros, who now serves the neighborhood on San Antonio’s City Council, was outside Margil Elementary School on Tuesday, drumming up support for Mrs. Clinton.

Mrs. Cisneros said residents in the blue-collar neighborhood “take their politics seriously. They vote and are proud of it.”"*
