Previously Castro served three terms as the Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, from 2009 to 2014. ==Early life and family== Julián Castro was born in San Antonio, Texas, on September 16, 1974, to Maria "Rosie" Castro and Jessie Guzman. He is the identical twin brother of current United States Representative Joaquín Castro.〔 His mother was a Chicana political activist who helped establish the Chicano political party La Raza Unida,〔 and who ran unsuccessfully for San Antonio City Council in 1971.〔 Castro once stated, "My mother is probably the biggest reason that my brother and I are in public service. Growing up, she would take us to a lot of rallies and organizational meetings and other things that are very boring for an 8-, 9-, 10-year-old". His father, Jessie Guzman, is a retired math teacher and political activist. Never married, Rosie and Jessie separated when Castro and his brother were eight years old.〔 Castro's Texan roots trace back to 1920, when his grandmother, Victoria Castro, joined extended family members there as a six-year-old orphan from northern Mexico.〔 In 2007 Castro married Erica Lira Castro, an elementary school teacher. In 2009 their daughter Carina Castro was born.〔 On December 27, 2014 Castro announced via Twitter the birth of the couple's second child, a son, Cristián Julián Castro.〔http://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/its-boy-hud-secr-julian-castro-wife-welcome-second-child-n276251〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julian Castro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
