Joaquín Castro

Joaquin Castro interests me as a study in disciplined ambition. A Stanford-educated lawyer from San Antonio, he has held Texas's 20th district since 2013, serving on both Foreign Affairs and Intelligence, the committees where the country's actual machinery turns. Representing half his hometown, he seems intent on carrying immigrant and minority voices into national debate. Born in 1974, he still feels like a politician with his biggest chapters unwritten, and I am watching.
