Villaraigosa, 48, an immigrant's son from East L.A. who rose to become speaker of the state Assembly, energized the city's Hispanic populace with his charisma and up-from-the-barrio life story. His quest to become Los Angeles' first Hispanic mayor since 1872 also raised his profile nationally. Democratic leaders around the country offered their support during the campaign, and the Democratic party is eager to involve him in its efforts to attract Hispanic voters. ''People all over the country now know the name Antonio Villaraigosa,'' said Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He said Villaraigosa has a ''great future.'' Political observers say Villaraigosa has a good shot at any number of statewide offices or even Congress. He already has $1.3 million in campaign funds he collected while state Assembly speaker stored in an account he could use for a state Senate race. ''I think having lost this race in many ways will go to his benefit,'' said Jim Duffy, a Democratic consultant in Washington, D.C. ''My sense is he was able to generate a lot of excitement among Hispanics. In that sense, he is the acknowledged leader of Hispanics ... which is no small position to hold in Los Angeles and nationally.'' Hispanics account for nearly 47 percent of Los Angeles' population of 3.7 million and represent the biggest single ethnic or racial group in the city. Nationally, the Hispanic population jumped nearly 60 percent over the past decade, according to census figures. At a news conference Wednesday, Villaraigosa declined to speculate about his professional future, saying that after a 22-month campaign he wanted to spend time with his wife and children. ''I put everything I had into this race,'' he said. ''I don't have anything left, frankly, at least on the short term.'' Villaraigosa received 46 percent of the vote in Tuesday's mayoral election, losing to City Attorney James Hahn, who won with 54 percent. Hahn will succeed Richard Riordan, a millionaire Republican businessman who was barred by term limits from running for re-election.
