When I was growing up, it wasn’t expected that the Mexican-American son of a single mother would be destined for public office -- and certainly not serve as a presidential cabinet member. 
 
Julián with his grandmother, and his twin brother Joaquin.
 
Back then, a Latino had never served as a cabinet secretary. Kids on one side of town were expected to succeed. Kids on the other side were not.
 
I defied the odds then, and I need your help to defy the odds now. 
 
I haven’t always been a frontrunner in this race, but I haven’t always been a frontrunner in life. And I know that with the support of people like you, we can surpass all expectations. 
 
So I’m asking, as someone who knows what it takes to defy the odds, will you chip in $15 to my campaign? 
 
Chip in $15 now >>

Chip in $23 now >>

Chip in $37 now >>

Chip in $50 now >>

Chip in another amount now >>
 
I know that, this far out, the polling doesn’t have me in first place yet. 
 
But I was taught by my mother not to listen to what the naysayers and statistics predicted my future would be. And I’m not going to start listening to them now.
 
The next debates are in just 3 days. And we need the support of people like you, people who believe preconceived notions can be overcome, for our campaign to carry on. 
 
I’m relying on grassroots support of people like you. Can you chip in even just a couple of dollars to fuel my campaign?
 
 
Thank you for believing in me, 
 
Julián Castro

Contributions or gifts to Julián for the Future are not tax deductible.

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?
