NRCC Statement on TX-28 Primary Election

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Texas’ 28th Congressional district primary election:

“Congratulations to Jay Furman on his primary election victory. His time flying Blackhawks on the Texas border and serving as a foreign area officer have thoroughly prepared him to tackle the southern border crisis and the crime crisis it’s bringing to TX-28. As the general election begins, we are eager to remind voters that Henry Cuellar uses his political position to enrich himself, forgetting Texans back home who are squeezed by inflation. Cuellar serves himself while Furmanfights for the people.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar

Following the news that Henry Cuellar was indicted for accepting $600,000 in bribes from the Azerbaijan government and a bank in Mexico, TX-28 moved in favor of Republicans, highlighting how vulnerable Cuellar is this November.
