==Richardson and Hispanics==

After leaving office a coalition of New Mexico Hispanic groups demanded Richardson "immediately stop representing and speaking for or on behalf of the Hispano/Latino community in New Mexico, throughout the Southwest on national affairs or international affairs pertaining to any Hispano/Latino issue or subject today and in perpetuity."  The Hispano Round Table of New Mexico, representing more than 50 groups, unanimously passed a resolution saying the Democratic governor was "ruthless, dishonest, deceptive, dishonorable, contemptuous and abusive" toward the Hispanic community. The resolution said New Mexico Hispanics remain severely underrepresented in education and employment, have the highest numbers of working poor and poverty, have low rates of home ownership and health insurance, and face issues over immigration and land grants.

The groups' spokesperson said Richardson "did not represent our views, our values or our voices, and now we don't want him to try to be the national representative for the Hispanic community." The spokesperson said Richardson "focused his two terms as governor on himself and his political ambitions."<ref>http://www.abqjournal.com/abqnews/abqnewseeker-mainmenu-39/26141-hispano-round-table-richardson-doesnt-speak-for-us.html</ref>
