By Edwin Chen, Times Staff Writer


WASHINGTON -- Congressional Democrats announced today that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will deliver the party's Spanish-language response to next week's State of the Union address

Virginia Gov.

This will be the third consecutive year that Democrats have offered a Spanish language response to Bush's speech.
