I just stepped off the stage at my First-In-The-Nation Town Hall in Iowa.

I’ve questioned whether it’s ideal for a country and a party that prides itself on its diversity to begin each presidential primary cycle in a state like Iowa that lacks such diversity.

Iowa has been going first for almost 50 years. In that time our country has changed dramatically. It’s time our primary process changes with it.

Tonight, we brought Iowans together to talk about it. To ask tough questions. To share their concerns, and defend their first-in-the-nation status.

Not everyone agreed, but this conversation brought to light that many Iowans do. They just needed someone to say it first and start the discussion.

That’s what I did, and I will continue to speak up when others won’t.

This campaign is about being bold enough to speak truths no matter what, and making sure we live our values. Help us continue to engage people across the country and build this grassroots campaign. >>

Be bold,
Julián

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?
