Rep. Henry Cuellar, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 28th district since 2005, shared updates on recent activities through his social media account. The congressman highlighted both local community engagement and national legislative concerns.
On June 9, 2025, Rep. Cuellar announced that “My Laredo Outreach Coordinator, Andres Velazquez, presented Congressional Certificates of Recognition to the Zapata High School Lady Hawk Softball Program.” He noted that since its inception in 1998, the program has been a source of pride for the community due to its dedication and excellence.
In another post on the same day, Rep. Cuellar addressed potential impacts of a new budget bill. He cited a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), stating “ICYMI: The nonpartisan @USCBO says that if the new budget bill passes, 16 million Americans could lose health care while the deficit grows by at least $2.4 trillion.” Emphasizing fiscal responsibility, he added that priorities must be aligned to protect healthcare while cutting waste and abuse.
Following this statement, Rep. Cuellar encouraged readers to “Read the full report.” This call to action directed constituents towards further details on the financial implications discussed.
Henry Cuellar was born in Laredo, Texas in 1955 and currently resides there. He graduated from Georgetown University with a BA in 1978 and earned a JD from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981.
