(NECN/CNN: Los Angeles, Calif.) - What better way to secure votes than to bring in the big guns!
Democratic heavy-hitter former President Bill Clinton is in Southern California Friday hoping to reel in votes for his party.
He's stumping for gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom-- who's running for Lieutenant Governor.
They were at a campaign event at U-C-L-A.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa gave their introductions.
All three made rock-star entrances in front of a screaming crowd of some 6,000 students.
Clinton urged students to get out and vote during this critical election--- saying it's quote 'not enough to have voted for a new president if you will not let him govern.'
Brown is in a tight race with Republican Meg Whitman for the governor's seat.
While Newsom is up against Republican Abel Maldonado-- who was appointed Lieutenant Governor when the spot was left vacant by U-S Representative John Garamendi.
Clinton was in Orange County earlier Friday-- and heads to Northern California to support other Democratic candidates though the weekend.
