Secretary Julian Castro & the Latino Community Foundation

Secretary Julian Castro joins Tamarindo to talk about his new role as CEO of the Latino Community Foundation. Secretary Castro was the youngest member of President Obama’s cabinet when he was appointed Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in 2014,  and in 2020, he ran for US President where he lifted many progressive issues. He eventually endorsed Elizabeth Warren and I often wished for a Warren Castro 2020 ticket.
