So is Hector running for Lt. Guv in 2010? At a Coalition of Westside Neighborhoods Association meeting he said that he was only committed to the office of Auditor for this term only.

I hope he does. Hector would make a wonderful candidate for LG. And then Governor after Diane. He's one of the brightest and most ethical Democrats we have.

Do not know much about Hector...Where does he fall on the progressive D radar?

Smart, progressive, persuasive, common sense, fair. He's no ideologue but he believes in the change we need, economic justice, improving education etc.
