Rep. Henry Cuellar, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 28th district, shared several updates on January 29, 2025, through his social media account. The tweets covered topics ranging from legislative achievements to local infrastructure projects.
On January 29, Rep. Cuellar announced that "This afternoon in Jim Hogg County, I was proud to announce that the Social Security Fairness Act—a bill I co-sponsored and have fought for over the past two decades—has officially been signed into law." He described this legislation as a landmark measure aimed at restoring Social Security benefits for certain individuals.
Later that day, he shared another update stating "Good news. The Office of Management and Budget has rescinded its memo regarding the freeze on federal assistance funding." He attributed this development to community advocacy against the potential impacts of pausing essential federal funding.
In Webb County, Rep. Cuellar's Laredo Outreach Coordinator Andres Velazquez participated in a significant local event. Cuellar tweeted "Today in Webb County, my Laredo Outreach Coordinator, Andres Velazquez, attended the groundbreaking of the 'El Pico Road Widening and Paving Improvement' ARPA Project 25." This project is part of an initiative funded by resources secured through the American Rescue Plan.
