Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro will endorse Hillary Clinton for president next week in San Antonio, according to three sources with knowledge of the plan.
Clinton will be in town Oct. 15 for the first Latinos for Hillary organizing event in Texas and has made Hispanic voters a priority this fall, launching a bilingual SMS texting initiative to engage them, and showing up on stage at a Marc Anthony concert in Miami, among other efforts.
Democratic strategist Maria Cardona said the campaign has always planned to roll out Hispanic endorsements as its Latino initiative got underway and the elected officials, like Rep. Xavier Becerra recently, have a put me in, Coach mentality, excited to campaign for Clinton.
The contrast for her in terms of both the launching of Latinos for Hillary and with Julian next week could not come at a better time with the debacle going on in the Republican side, she said.............

(9,497 posts)As a Mexican Latina, I am happy that his ethnicity is the same as mine rather than Cuban. Cubans who came were the 1%, mainly and have little in common with the rest of the community because of their favored status.
So that is cool.
I won't vote for him, because he ain't gonna be on the ballot.
