The moderate Democrat from Laredo announced endorsements from top Democrats in the U.S. House, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, walks into his election watch party to celebrate with supporters on election night, Nov. 8, 2022, in Laredo.
On Thursday, Cuellar revealed the endorsements of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn. He was also endorsed by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The endorsements were first shared with The Texas Tribune.
The endorsements make clear early in the election cycle that senior Democrats will continue to have Cuellar’s back after last year’s shakeup in House leadership. Jessica Cisneros, Cuellar’s primary challenger in 2020 and 2022, has not ruled out another run against the moderate Democrat. Cuellar’s 2022 primary was particularly intense. Cisneros forced him into a runoff after the FBI raided Cuellar’s home in Laredo — the reason is still unknown — and then the primary runoff overlapped with the leaking of the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. That drew unwelcome attention to Cuellar’s lonely status as an anti-abortion Democrat.told reporters thereCuellar won the runoff by fewer than than 300 votes.
