Carlos Alvarez for Mayor of Los Angeles
The Republicans and Democrats can only wish they had 22-year-old candidates as articulate as Carlos Alvarez. This link takes you to a number of videos, some of them "canned spots," but the top two make for great watching. They're from FOX (!) "Good Morning LA". The hosts treat him with respect, and like him so much they invite him back for a second segment (labeled "Interview on FOX News Extra"), also worth watching.
There are, of course, some Democrats who do stand up for working people. While we're on the subject of FOX News, here's Lansing, MI Mayor Virgil Bernero letting FOX News have it with both barrels while defending auto workers. Also good stuff.
