Joaquin Castro (TX-20 - D)

Compare

He’s perhaps best known as the twin brother of former presidential candidate Julián Castro, but the congressman from San Antonio has spent the past few years making a name for himself. Castro took a leading role in the fight to stop Donald Trump from building a border wall and was a House Manager in Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. He graduated from Stanford and Harvard Law, then entered politics, joining the Texas state legislature in 2002.
