When I got into this race, we began a conversation many of my opponents didn’t want to have about decriminalizing border-crossings. I forced the conversation because children were being torn from their parents and thrown into cages and we need to make sure it can never happen again. 
 
We led a discussion about police reform -- not because it was poll-tested as a top issue voters in Iowa were concerned about, but because police violence has inflicted too much terror upon communities of color.
 
 
Despite it never being asked about in a debate - or getting much media attention - I have continuously talked about our nation’s housing crisis, because we have a generation of everyday Americans who can’t afford to buy a home, can’t afford their rent, and homelessness is rising. 
 
Every day going forward I’m going to continue talking about these important issues. I’m going to be pushing my opponents to address them. I’m going to fight like hell to make sure the media gives them the attention they deserve. 
 
One’s ability to pay for a 30-second clip of ad space in some of the most saturated media markets in the country shouldn’t decide who stays in this race.
 
I’m in it for the long haul. I will continue to lift up the most marginalized voices in our society and we’re going to keep doing things differently. Let’s be loud.
 
This race isn’t about the polls, it isn’t about the pundits, and it isn’t about me -- it’s about putting People First.

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?
