Cedillo endorses Obama as Dems vie for California's Hispanic vote

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES A spokeswoman for state Sen. Gil Cedillo says he is endorsing Barack Obama for president.

Cedillo has been one of the state's leading supporters of driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants, introducing legislation nine times to allow the permits.

Obama opponent Hillary Rodham Clinton has said she opposes such licenses.

Cedillo, a Los Angeles Democrat, is expected to officially announce his endorsement Sunday afternoon.

Clinton has so far won most of the endorsements from California's major Hispanic leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez.

Endorsements are an important part of winning the votes of Hispanics, a key Democratic constituency in California.
