Julian Castro may already be behind in the polls, but no matter—he’s boldly running for president. The former mayor of San Antonio and HUD secretary under President Obama officially announced his candidacy Saturday, framing it in the context of immigration: “When my grandmother got here [from Mexico] almost a hundred years ago, I’m sure she never could have imagined that just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be serving as a member of the United States Congress and the other would be standing with you here today to say these words: I am a candidate for President of the United States of America,” he told supporters in his hometown of San Antonio, per USA Today.
