I'm Henry Cuellar: This is why I want Texas' vote in the midterm election

I am in Congress to support you in pursuing the American dream. I will not stop fighting for you, and I will not stop fighting for Laredo.

Democrat Henry Cuellar represents Texas' 28th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

As your State Representative, I understood our needs and knew how to address them: I championed affordable health care and created the first Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) here in Laredo at Farias Elementary. The program proved so successful that it served as the basis for Texas’ statewide CHIP program, which expanded coverage to hundreds of thousands of children across Texas. I authored the TEXAS Grant, the largest scholarship in Texas history that allowed our students to attend college. I also helped create TAMIU, construct the Border Region building, the TXDOT District Office, and a new DPS building.
