SAN ANTONIO -- Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lupe Valdez made a stop in San Antonio on Saturday, urging people to vote.

The visit is part of a seven-day tour throughout 11 Texas cities.

Secretary Julian Castro also attended the event at Blue Star Brewing Company. Valdez spoke to voters on a number of topics her platform is advocating for, including stricter gun control following the high school shooting in Santa Fe.

"How many times do we have to bury people because of the violence in here? We need to find a way to stop it and there are ways: background checks, closing the loop holes. There are many ways we can stop this,” said Valdez.

Valdez's campaign will head to Houston next before facing businessman Andrew White in the Democratic runoff election Tuesday.
