What local Latino, indy and mainstream media is saying
San Francisco
Univision online reports from San Francisco:
…un voluntario en uno de los centros de votación le dijo al Chronicle que habían unas seis personas en las afueras del centro esperando que se abrieran las meses. “Esto me sorprendió. No me lo esperaba. San Francisco es una ciudad que no apoya al Gobernador”, señaló.
El Reportero of San Francisco says:
El Reportero urges you to vote to protect our rights, which are about to be eroded if any of Mr. Schwarzenegger’s state propositions win.
Costa a Costa: Lotso Latinos on the SF Local Ballot

Looking over my ballot book this morning, I found a lot of Latino names for the various local political seats here in San Francisco:
Gerardo Sandoval (Assessor)
Jose Cisneros (Treasurer)
Manuel Valle (Treasurer)
Dennis Herrera (City Attorney, first Latino to hold office in San Francisco)
I’ve said before (as has my colleague la Mala) that I won’t vote for a Latino just because he’s Latino, or any other “minority” for that matter. I was happy to see, however, that the majority of the people on this list seem to stand for same things that I do, so yeah, in a way, I am voting Latino. But it’s just a fluke.
Are there Latinos running for office where you live? Use our contact form or the comment area to tell us about it.
NYC: Vistas from Polling Places

With a Latino running for office today in the NYC Mayoral election I expected to see more um, Latinos at the polls. Not that I want every Latino to vote for Ferrer. I think I’ve made that point clear but it’s not as if the mayoral race is the only issue to vote on today. Mind you I don’t live in a ‘hood with a huge Latino population but I was still surprised when I went to vote at 10 a.m. to see the polling place relatively empty with only one other Latino face in sight. Maybe we all voted on our way to work this morning?
Latino Hip-Hop mag capitalizes on Reggaeton craze

It was bound to happen some time soon. Gotta jump on that money-making bandwagon before Reggaeton is dead and gone. The publication is called Bridgez and it’s out to fill the dead space in the Latino urban media world:
“This magazine fills a void in the market which has existed for far too long,” added Gonzalez. “Latinos have been involved in Hip-Hop since day one. In fact, in our first issue we reveal that D.M.C., one of the founders of Hip-Hop, is actually of Dominican descent. Latinos deserve to be acknowledged for their contributions to Hip-Hop past and present; and that’s our goal.”
