Castro win lets Dem hold onto Texas House seat

By Pete Kasperowicz - 11/06/12 10:44 PM ET

The Castro brothers have a lock on San Antonio.

Joaquín Castro, the twin brother of Democratic National Convention keynote speaker and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, won the House seat held by Rep. Charles Gonzalez (D), who retired after seven terms.

He was projected to win the San Antonio seat early Tuesday night. CNN had Castro ahead of Republican David Rosa 61-36 with just 8 percent of polls reporting.

During the Democratic convention, Julián Castro called Mitt Romney the candidate of "no," and charged the GOP presidential nominee with flip-flopping on healthcare for supporting health mandates while Massachusetts governor.

"Governor Romney has undergone an extreme makeover, and it ain't pretty," he said.
