SAN ANTONIO — Julián Castro, who helped build Hispanics’ presence on the national political stage with his 2020 presidential bid, is now focused on building Latinos’ power to help themselves.
“My point to political candidates is that it doesn’t matter what your ideology is, if you want to win, you need to address the concerns of the Latino community,” he said. In an interview with NBC News in 2018, Castro said the subtitle of his memoir, “An Unlikely Journey: Waking From My American Dream,” released in the run-up to his presidential bid, refers to an understanding for many Latinos that it is not enough to just work hard for family and to achieve their own American Dream.
