Joaquin Castro

Has anyone heard any more about when Joaquin will decide if he is running against Ted Cruz? I am ready to get this campaign started and dusting off my volunteering and campaigning skills here in San Antonio!

Were there any other Texas Du'ers at his town hall earlier this month? I was super impressed when I was there with the turn out. I heard there was somewhere between 400-500 people there.

I hadn't heard about Dem. Beto O'Rourke also considering it. It will be interesting either way

I'm hopeful that since he is from West Texas that will be an advantage to start to break through the West Texas sea of red and start to get more DEM votes on that side of the state. Either way I'm ready to do whatever I can to help get Cruz out. LOL

He's a little more to the left and not quite so cautious.

Castro is saying that he will wait until the end of April to make a decision.
