How Out-of-Touch is Henry Cuellar?
In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Henry Cuellar voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over Texans! He turned his back on the very people he claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.
- Texans’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 1,584,844 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
- The 15,155 federal workers in Cuellar’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- TX-28’s 11,379 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
- Millions in loan financing for Texas’s 3.3 million small businesses will be jeopardized.
- Funding for the Head Start program – which 51,195 children in Texas rely on – may be cut off.
This week the NRCC launched digital ads targeting Henry Cuellar for voting to shut down the government.

“Out-of-touch Henry Cuellar proved he doesn’t care about his constituents—voting to shut down the government. Texans deserve a leader who fights for them, not a self-serving politician more focused on stunts than solutions.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
