San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro delivering a speech to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials on June 23, 2011.
Castro and his brother, state Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, are the twin sons of Rosie Castro, a community activist in San Antonio and a former leader of the La Raza Unida movement.
Born on Mexican Independence Day, the brothers earned undergraduate degrees with honors from Stanford University and law degrees from Harvard University.
In 2001, Julián Castro became, at 26, the youngest City Council member in San Antonio’s history. In 2005, he ran for mayor, narrowly losing a runoff to Phil Hardberger, the former chief justice of the 4th Court of Appeals.
