Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro — whose name often comes up as a potential Democratic vice presidential nominee — said Tuesday that he has been relishing in his nonpartisan role at HUD.
“Ninety percent of the work that we do in most of these agencies, but particularly in HUD, is non-political,” estimated the former mayor of San Antonio. “It’s not really impacted by whether folks are Democrats or Republicans.”
Castro’s comments came during a luncheon event titled “Investing in What Works: Mayors’ Best Practices” and co-hosted by RealClearPolitics and the advocacy group Results for America.
