The Hatch Act expressly forbids federal employees from endorsing candidates for elective office. It seems that HUD Secretary Julian Castro violated this stricture when he endorsed Hellary Clinton for president. (Is this a surprise since he is being mentioned as a possible VP choice?!) See: My San Antonio Newspaper Story.
The question I have is this: If it is illegal for the HUD Secretary to engage in such politicking, why is it also not illegal for our president to fly to North Carolina with Hellary on Air Force One to do exactly the same thing? See: CBS News Story.
Double standards are for little people ...
