Castro is a rising star in the Democratic Party. In 2012, he was elected to serve in the U.S House of Representatives as representative of Texas Congressional District 20, which covers a large portion of San Antonio and Bexar County. Joaquín’s identical twin brother, Julián Castro, was elected in 2013 to his third term as Mayor of San Antonio. On July 28, 2014, Julián Castro was sworn in as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Congressman Joaquín Castro was joined by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and Virginia Congressmen, Gerry Connolly and Don Beyer.
