In a development you’d have to describe as only in Chicago, it’s taken a Chinese-American candidate for state representative to bring the city’s two best-known Latino politicians back together again.

      At this point, I’m feeling the urge to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes: offering history lessons on Chicago politics.

 So he cultivated a slate of young Latino politicians, many of whom he hired to work in his administration, including Rudy Lozano, Gloria Chevere, Juan Soliz, Juan Velazquez and, of course, Garcia and Gutierrez.

 He also supported Mayor Emanuel in the last election, speaking of things I like to tease him about.

 Daddy Acevedo was a prominent player in the Hispanic Democratic Organization.

Since Daley left office, HDO’s been on the wane. So you might say the Acevedo-Mah race is the group’s last hurrah.
