I support Julian Castro, I know him, he's been over for dinner. I respect his integrity, his work ethic, his ability to find a middle path, and he's a true ally of the LGBTQ community. He's been the Mayor of San Antonio, the 7th largest city in the US as well as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. His policies as Mayor of San Antonio has led to urban renewal of the city core and his program of Pre K has improved the performance of the children who have participated in the program. At HUD he lowered mortgage insurance premiums, further fair housing policies including non-discrimination for LGBTQ people and accelerated internet adoption in communities across the US. He grew up poor on the West Side of San Antonio with his twin brother, his mother and grandmother. He gets what it means to struggle. He knows how to find the middle ground, but he'll also stand up for what's right. Most of all he has an inclusive vision for America.
