Commonwealth Club: Get to Know Bill Richardson June 12, 2007

BILL RICHARDSON | TUESDAY JUNE 12
Governor, New Mexico; Democratic Presidential Candidate

In conversation with FERNANDO R. ZAZUETA, Attorney

GET TO KNOW BILL RICHARDSON

Join us for another "Get to Know the Candidate" program, featuring 2008 Democratic presidential candidate and Governor of New Mexico Richardson in a wide-ranging conversation about his political views and background. As a seven-term congressman from New Mexico, Richardson focused his energies on major foreign policy and energy issues. In 1997, he was appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and was later secretary of energy under President Clinton. Since 2002, Richardson's moderate approach to politics has characterized his leadership of New Mexico, where he has been devoted to clean energy use. Richardson's Hispanic heritage and approach to immigration issues make him an important figure in the long-term debate over border security and how to deal with illegal immigrants.
