{UAH} Julian Castro declares he's running for the White House

Folks;

The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas, and later Secretary for Housing and Urban Development, HUD, under President Obama, has thrown his hat to the ring. He announced today that he's running for the president of the United States.

In making his announcement, Castro, whose twin brother, Julio is a member of the US Congress, recountered his working-class background, extolling the values of honesty and hard work that they inherited from their grandmother and mother.

He immediately rebuked President Trump over the border wall, played his his own role and commitment to improving education and health services, and did not shy away from vowing to raise taxes in order to provide better social services.

As an eloquent, telegenic young candidate (think Obama Part Two), Castro has the potential of disorganizing his rival, and will likely earn a serious consideration from Democratic voters.
