Henry Cuellar’s Flip-Flop on Government Shutdown Puts Texans at Risk

March 11, 2025

Out-of-touch Henry Cuellar has once again proved the Democrat Party will always put politics over people. Henry Cuellar is choosing to play partisan games, even if it means shutting down the government and hurting hardworking families in Texas. But here’s Henry Cuellar’s past statement about government shutdowns:


CUELLAR in 2018: The most basic job of Congress is to fund the federal government. For this reason, I voted in favor of keeping the government open so that we could keep our offices running while finding commonsense solutions.


“Henry Cuellar is betraying Texans by shamelessly flip-flopping on HIS own words and pushing for a government shutdown just to score cheap political points. This isn’t leadership—it’s a reckless, self-serving stunt that puts Americans at risk.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
