JOAQUÍN CASTRO

Member | TX-20

Joaquin Castro is among the vanguard of a new class of Latino leaders emerging across the country. Having experienced America’s promise firsthand, Joaquin wants to help build out what he calls the Infrastructure of Opportunity so that future generations will have the same chance to pursue their American Dream.

From supporting military families to investing in education, Joaquin remains committed to helping mold an Infrastructure of Opportunity for San Antonians and Americans around the country. He believes that just as there is an infrastructure of transportation that helps us get to where we want to go on the road, there is an Infrastructure of Opportunity that helps Americans get to where they want to go in life. Joaquin voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation that would protect same-sex and interracial marriages under federal law, and create a private right of action for individuals harmed by marriage discrimination. Joaquin currently sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Committee on Education and Labor.
