“Long in the shadow of Republicans, Democrats in Central Washington are hoping to get a foothold on elective office in 2008, banking on a maturing Hispanic community, particularly in Yakima County, and political enthusiasm seems to be running high.

It might seem a no-brainer in a county where nearly 40 percent of the people are Hispanic, but Vickie Ybarra is hoping to be the first Hispanic ever and the first Democrat since 1992 elected to the Legislature from Yakima County’s 14th District”*
