Julian Castro doesn’t seem terribly concerned that he violated federal law

Our Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Julian Castro, has been getting a lot of buzz as a potential VP selection for Hillary Clinton, but this week he’s making headlines of a different sort. The Office of Special Counsel released a statement including one phrase which cabinet members and potential national candidates probably don’t want to see associated with their name… violated federal law. (CNN)
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro violated a federal law against mixing official business with politics when he touted Hillary Clinton in an April interview with Yahoo’s Katie Couric, the Office of Special Counsel said Monday.
Castro is a top surrogate for Clinton’s presidential campaign and — while not expected to be the choice — is often mentioned on lists of vice presidential prospects.
He violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal workers acting in their official capacity from attempting to influence elections. In the Couric interview, he appeared with the official HUD seal, was introduced as the secretary and spent the first seven minutes focused on HUD programs before Couric turned to Clinton.
Castro’s spokesperson is describing this as an inadvertent error, though the text of the speech in question makes it seem pretty clear that he knew he was treading on some questionable ground. During the interview being cited, he prefaced his remarks by saying he was, “taking off my HUD hat for a second and just speaking individually.” But that calls into question the functionality of the Hatch Act in the first place.
