He's the man who spoke at the 2012 Dem nat'l convention, right? I called it! (Of course, follows in a fine tradition...Bill Clinton..President Obama... A pattern).

His twin brother is a U.S. Rep. He's 40 years old.

His mother is one of the founders of La Raza. He gave the keynote at the last convention.
