Mayor Julian Castro's Keynote Woos Millennials at YDA Convention

Mon Aug 12, 2013

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro gave the keynote address at the Young Democrats of America Convention in San Antonio over the weekend. It was an appropriate affair with all of the national media attention focused on our state and the Castros representing the next generation of Texas leaders.

The Mayor and his twin brother Congressman Joaquin Castro had already provided a warm welcome to the Alamo City by sponsoring 500 Community Credentials for young Democrats across Texas to participate in workshops and network building.

During his address the mayor told his personal story of growing up around politics, one that will surely be told to many more national audiences, but tried to temper the inevitability of his political career by saying, "at 15 or 16 if you'd have asked me if I wanted to run for office I'd have said, 'no way'."

He said when he and his brother first went to Stanford they looked around and realized that the only difference between those who surrounded them and those who they grew up with back home was simply an opportunity.
