Julián Castro Campaign Chairman Joaquin Castro Visits Iowa on Sunday, July 21, 2019
SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 19, 2019) – This Sunday, July 21, Julián for the Future chairman and U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) will travel to Iowa for various campaign events. In Storm Lake on Sunday, Rep. Castro will join community members for a meet-and-greet, before joining the Woodbury County Democrats for their ‘Convivio Democrata’ later in the afternoon.
Earlier this week, Democratic presidential candidate, former Mayor of San Antonio and former HUD Secretary Julián Castro made his eighth trip to the first-in-the-nation caucus state -- making stops in Cedar Rapids, Mount Pleasant, Keokuk, Muscatine, and Davenport, Iowa.
During his brother’s first trip to Iowa, Secretary Castro is proud to announce the endorsement of Storm Lake School Board member Emilia Marroquin. Marroquin joins Storm Lake Councilman Jose Ibarra in supporting Secretary Castro’s presidential campaign. Earlier this month, Secretary Castro announced the endorsement of seven community leaders and elected officials.
“As more and more Americans hear about my candidacy and vision for the future of our country following the first debate, we will continue to build our presence in the first-in-the-nation caucus state,” said Secretary Julián Castro. “With the support of inspirational community leaders such as school board member Emilia Marroquin, we can win the Iowa caucuses, and build a better future for our children and grandchildren.”
