Joaquin Castro on Running Against Cruz: Texans Are Telling Me They Want a Different Senator

‘They want somebody who is going to serve the people of Texas and they’re hungry for change’

EXCERPT: 
VELSHI: "We hear you’ve been mulling a run against Ted Cruz for the Senate. You come from a very political family. You are a Texas politician. What’s your timetable to make that decision?" 
CASTRO: "You know, I said that within the next few months, I expect to make that decision. As you can imagine I’m trying to balance that with the incredible responsibilities of being on the House Intelligence Committee, and we literally are in the eye of the storm with the Russia investigation, and so I’m hoping to make a decision in the next few months. It’s clear to me going around the state and talking to Texans from all walks of life that they want a different senator, they want somebody who is going to serve the people of Texas and they’re hungry for change."
