Villaraigosa to Respond to Bush Speech in SpanishBy Edwin Chen, Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON -- Congressional Democrats announced today that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will deliver the party's response to President Bush's annual State of the Union address next Tuesday night — in Spanish.
The annual presidential address, before a joint session of Congress and a nationally televised audience, traditionally gives the chief executive the opportunity to lay out his agenda for the coming year.
Bush's speech will begin at 6 p.m. PST; the Democratic response generally begins about an hour later. The mayor's comments will be carried on Spanish-language networks.
This will be the third consecutive year that Democrats have offered a Spanish language response to Bush's State of the Union.
