This R&D provides resources on San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who is reportedly President Barack Obama’s choice to become the new secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Castro is seen as a rising star in Democratic politics and a possible 2016 vice-presidential candidate. He gave the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
