Former HUD Secretary and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro is going to the Iowa State Fair to prepare for a possible run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. He has been laying the ground work and is now starting to make the rounds to get public attention, and Republicans and conservative should be aware.
Castro, a darling of south Texas Democrats, has been running a PAC, writing a book, and building a grass-roots network. He has also been helping 2018 candidates around the country get elected to get their support later. For example, last Wednesday, Aug. 8, in San Antonio, Castro spoke at a SA city council meeting in favor of the city forcing private businesses to provide sick leave to their employees. This shows his support for extreme socialist policies.
