The Hill

Hillary
Clinton’s campaign is likely to choose Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Julián Castro or another Hispanic politician to be her
running mate, former
HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros said in an interview that will air Sunday.
“What
I am hearing in Washington, including from people in Hillary Clinton’s
campaign, is that the first person on their lists is Julián Castro, the
... Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development, who use[d] to be the Mayor of San Antonio,” he
said in an interview with Univision’s “Al Punto.”
“They
don’t have a second option, because he is the superior candidate
considering his record, personality, demeanor and Latin heritage.”
“I think there is a very high possibility that Hillary Clinton may choose Julián Castro,” he said.”
Castro
has followed a political path similar to the one Cisneros traveled in
the 1990s. Cisneros served as Mayor of San Antonio and was then HUD
secretary under President
Bill Clinton.
The
once-rising star ultimately left the Clinton administration in the
shadow of a scandal about payments he had made to a former mistress.
He later pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI and was pardoned by Clinton.
