Tonight on MSNBC, I was asked about the order of our primaries. I told them that I appreciate how seriously Iowa and New Hampshire take their role as first-in-the-nation.
 
Throughout my travels in both states, I have met many wonderful people who take this process very seriously. They vet the candidates, they show up at town halls, and do their due diligence.
 
However, our primary process should reflect our country and the voters in it. What made sense 50 years ago when this order was established no longer works today. We are not the same country that we were in 1972 and I believe it’s time our primaries reflect our nation’s diversity.
 
 
Other states should have their chance in helping to determine who the nominee of our party - and who the leader of our country should be. 
 
I’ve made a point on this campaign of speaking my mind and giving a voice to the voiceless, even when it makes powerful interests uncomfortable. I know there are some who may disagree, but I think it’s time we have an honest conversation about our primaries. 
 
We’ve worked hard to build a campaign that reflects this entire country, help us keep building that now:

No one like Julián Castro has ever been in the Oval Office. His grandmother immigrated here from Mexico when she was just 7 years old. She never got past the 4th grade, but she provided for her family by working as a maid and a housekeeper.

Now, her grandson is running for President of the United States. Against all odds, grassroots Democrats like YOU helped him qualify for the Democratic debates and sent him to the front of the pack of Democratic candidates.

We know we send you a lot of emails, but that’s because we’re relying on grassroots supporters to overcome our next big challenge:

Julián must be able to compete and build a movement that lasts for the long haul, and he’s not taking a cent of corporate PAC money to do it. Will you be a part of this historic campaign?
