President Obama elevated a rising star in the Democratic Party to a national job on Friday by naming San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to serve as head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In the East Room at the White House, Obama named Castro to replace Shaun Donovan, his housing chief since 2009. He nominated Donovan to become head of the Office of Management and Budget.
Obama called Castro an all-star among American mayors, a leader in housing and economic development who cares deeply about communities like the one where he grew up.
One of the nations most prominent young Latino politicians, Castro delivered a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2012, the same year his twin brother, Joaquin, was elected to Congress.
Castros nomination is part of a Cabinet shuffle prompted by the decision of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to step down. Obama has nominated Sylvia Mathews Burwell, now director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace Sebelius.
The nominations come as the White House prepares for its last best chance before the midterm elections to pass an immigration overhaul and as reform advocates pressure the president take action to reduce deportations on his own.
Castro, 39, will leave San Antonio during his third term as mayor for the high-profile post. If confirmed by the Senate, Castro will become the second former San Antonio mayor to hold the job. Henry Cisneros led the city for eight years before President Clinton named him to the top job at HUD.

President Obama is expected to nominate San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro for housing secretary on Friday and will nominate Shaun Donovan, his current housing chief, to run the budget office, a White House official said.
Obama is expected to announce the latest Cabinet shuffle at the White House after returning from an overnight trip to Chicago. He will be joined by Castro, a 39-year-old Democratic up-and-comer, and Donovan, 48, who has led the Department of Housing and Urban Development since the start of Obama's presidency in 2009.
The moves would raise the profiles of two men with close ties to Obama.
Obama chose Castro to deliver the keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and he has been a rising star in the party ever since. Donovan is highly regarded inside the White House, where officials have lauded his work overseeing the federal government's response to the devastation Hurricane Sandy unleashed on the East Coast in October 2012.
As budget director, Donovan would have significant sway over the administration's policy and spending priorities.
If he is confirmed by the Senate, the three-term mayor would become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic officials serving at the pleasure of the president. Castro has been talked about as a possible Democratic candidate for vice president in 2016. Donovan, already confirmed for the HUD job, would be expected to win confirmation a second time for the new post.
Donovan would replace Sylvia Mathews Burwell as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Obama recently nominated Burwell to become secretary of health and human services following the resignation of Kathleen Sebelius after the disastrous rollout of the federal website for consumers to buy insurance coverage under Obama's health care law.
Obama has previously tried to offer Castro a Cabinet post, but the mayor decided to stay in San Antonio and handily won a third term last year.
"This was a job I really did look forward to growing up, when I thought about politics," Castro said in 2011 about being mayor. "So I'm not in a hurry to leave."
