Texan candidate lands in double trouble
Julian Borger in Washington
Saturday April 23, 2005
The Guardian

He walked like him. He waved like him. He even had the same haircut, and for the voters of the Texas town of San Antonio, the man standing in front of them looked like the mayoral candidate Julian Castro. There was only one problem. It wasn't him.

Mr Castro admitted yesterday that the man who had stood in his place on Monday night waving from the city council barge as part of the annual river parade had been his identical twin, Joaquin.

"We can't help that we look like each other," Julian Castro, a city council member, told the Associated Press, explaining he had another engagement elsewhere.

But the brothers insisted there had been no attempt at deception. "Every day I go out of my way to say it's me, it's not him," Joaquin said in a television interview yesterday.
