In a rather unprecedented move, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro got the endorsement for the vice presidency from the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The group announced the endorsement last Jan. 23, Saturday, during an event held in San Antonio, Texas, where Castro served as the mayor for five years.

According to Javier Palomarez, the group's president and CEO, "Millions of people living in this country look to Julian as the gatekeeper of American dream." He said that the group is happy with endorsing Castro as the Democratic vice president, as they have seen his work for years and felt that he has done a great job serving as the mayor of San Antonio.

Among the many achievements Castro accomplished, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce noted his heavy involvement in the pre-K program for all the children in San Antonio, add to his other accomplishment of creating 2,700 housing units in the city.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce have yet to endorse a presidential candidate, but Castro is noted to be one of the most prominent Latino Americans to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

In fact, according to a report by Trail Blazers Blog, Castro even went to Iowa himself to campaign for the former U.S. first lady, which fuelled speculations about him running for VP. According to him, "Hillary has the experience, the energy and the vision to make sure that there's great opportunity in this country for everyone."

However, Castro himself has yet to formally announce his intention to run as vice president and even denied that he is running for the position. As for him, being the second most powerful person in the America is something that he does not believe is going to happen.

Still, the noise surrounding Castro's almost inevitable run as vice president grows louder every passing day. According to Fox News, Hillary herself was reported to have said that she's "going to really look hard at him [Castro] for anything, because that's how good he is, and he deserves the accolades he's receiving."

Many political analysts such as Richard Gambitta think that having Castro on your side would be a good move either for Clinton or her rival Bernie Sanders.

He reasoned that key states such as Iowa, Texas or New Hampshire will largely depend on the huge number of Latino voters, which Castro seems to strongly draw.

But for Castro, he expects that a year from now, he will back in Texas doing his current job.
