we’re not going to make it

Joaquin Castro for Congress Tonight we reach a fundraising deadline for the month of November and we’re NOT on track to make it. Every dollar we raise brings us one step closer to stomping out the dangerous wave of hate and extremism that we’re seeing spread across Tex…

I’m using my position to hold bad actors accountable

Joaquin Castro for Congress I have always been an advocate for diverse representation in Hollywood. It really matters when someone sees themselves depicted in a positive light on screen such as a superhero, a heroine, or even the president. That’s why when I found out Warner …

we must do whatever we can to fight back against this hateful bill

Joaquin Castro for Congress One of the most radical anti-immigrant bills is about to be signed into law right here in Texas and we must fight back. By granting local law enforcement permission to target and deport anyone they suspect of being undocumented in our state, extreme …

it’s imperative that we reject this discrimination in our state

Joaquin Castro for Congress Right now, Texas is in the process of passing one of the most radical anti-immigrant bills ever. This bill is nothing short of an abomination — giving local law enforcement the power to target anyone they “suspect” of being an undocumented person, ess…

extremist Republicans in Texas are turning their backs on our state

Joaquin Castro for Congress The past year has shown us just how damaging extremism and corruption has been for our government, both in Congress and right here in Texas. Now, we’re less than ONE YEAR from Election Day 2024. That’s one year to flip the House and fire self-serving…

Abbott is neglecting the real issues Texans are facing every day

Joaquin Castro for Congress Greg Abbott just called lawmakers in for another special session to force his xenophobic and corrupt agenda on our state. Why? Because he’s determined to pass his abhorrently cruel immigration agenda separating families at our border AND he wants to…
