Heartless Henry Fired a Pregnant Aide

October 5, 2026

Self-serving Henry Cuellar’s treatment of a pregnant employee is back under the spotlight.

A new report revisits the lawsuit brought by former top aide Kristie Small, who alleged Cuellar fired her after she requested maternity leave in 2018, the case settled in 2021 with undisclosed terms.

Settling the lawsuit didn’t erase the questions about his conduct.

“Heartless Henry Cuellar is a self-serving disgrace who treated a pregnant working mother as disposable and still has the nerve to ask South Texas to save his career.Texans should hand this shameless, corrupt career politician the pink slip he deserves.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
