Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro, the former San Antonio mayor and Obama Cabinet member, visits with Chicano Studies students at UCLA March 4.
Politics sometimes makes drunkards of us all with its intoxicating whiffs of power and possibility -- and it often clouds our thinking until the sobering reality of an election itself.
Julian Castro, the former Obama Cabinet member and San Antonio mayor, brought his presidential campaign to Los Angeles this week.
"I'm running for president because... I want to make sure that in years to come, no matter who you are... wherever you come from, that you can reach your dreams too,” Castro, who served as U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary under President Barack Obama, told a crowd of about 450 students at UCLA.
