Castro:
Telling you the truth at a time when you have a president who won't...
It's time for the Democratic party to change the way that we do our
presidential nominating process.
And I've said very bluntly that it's time for a state other than
Iowa to go first so that our nominating process actually reflects the
diversity of our country or of our party.
Thomas Lecaque, Des
Moines, IA: I completely agree with Julián Castro about
the Iowa caucus. Julián Castro has the courage to tell it like it
is.
Castro: I'm
going to tell the truth.
Castro (voiceover):
I’m
Julián
Castro, and I approve this message.
Notes: Dec.

press release:
Castro to Iowans in New Ad: I’m
Going to Tell You the Truth When
Others Won’t
Castro campaign releases
new ad in Iowa during
presidential debate telling Iowans
why he believes they should no longer hold first-in-the-nation status
SAN ANTONIO, TX (December 19, 2019) – On Thursday, December 19,
surrounding the DNC’s December presidential debate, the
presidential campaign of former Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for President Obama and Mayor of San Antonio,
Texas, Julián Castro will release a new
advertisement airing on broadcast stations across Iowa
and on social media about telling voters the truth when other
candidates won’t. The ad's release comes after the
most
recent
national poll showed Secretary Castro at four
percent, ahead of Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Cory Booker, Andrew
Yang, and trailing Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Mayor Michael Bloomberg by
one percent.
The ad,
which
will
air across broadcast stations in Iowa and on social media on
the day of the debate, features footage from Secretary Castro’s recent
town
hall on the Iowa caucuses, where he told Iowans why he
believes Iowa and New Hampshire should no longer go first in the
nominating process. Secretary Castro is the only candidate to
publicly express support for changing the nominating schedule—citing
the
lack
of diversity and low participation rate in the first
two states.
During the debate on Thursday, Secretary Castro and supporters
will highlight on social media issues that are left
unaddressed by the candidates on stage, as well as Secretary Castro's
leadership and positions on the issues that are debated.
Secretary Castro secured the grassroots donations required to make the
debate, but did not secure the necessary polling. For the November
debate, although Secretary Castro did not secure the necessary polling
to secure his spot on stage, "Julian Castro"
trended
#14
in the nation and the campaign had a better
fundraising day than the previous two debates.
