Cedillo formally enters City Council race

Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, formally announced plans to run for the 1st District seat on the City Council in 2013.
Cedillo, who is most closely associated with the Dream Act and alllowing drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, said he believes a City Council office would allow him to bring "bold and experienced leadership to strengthen and protect the Los Angeles dream."
Councilman Ed Reyes is being termed out in 2013. His chief deputy, Jose Gordea, also has announced for the seat. Cedillo actually filed papers earlier this year allowing him to begin raising money for the race.
