San Antonio Mayor will Keynote Democratic Convention
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, who was jokingly mistaken for a White House intern by Barack Obama less than three years ago, will deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention that will nominate the president for a second term.
Castro will speak in prime time on Sept. 4, the first night of the convention in Charlotte, N.C. First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to deliver remarks the same night.
The appearance, announced this morning in a video released to the television network Univision, puts Castro in the company of Texas Democrats like Gov. Ann Richards, who was state treasurer when she delivered her keynote in 1988, and Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, who was awarded the prime speaking role in 1976 and 1992.
