Posted by Carisa Kissane on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

A pillar in American politics, Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar was born on September 19, 1955, with a destiny entwined with leadership and service. He has proudly served as Texas’ 28th congressional district’s U.S. congressman since 2005, proudly representing the Democratic Party, and has had an enduring impact on Texas politics as a committed lawyer and politician.

His congressional district, which spans from the Rio Grande to the busy suburbs of San Antonio, is a diversified and lively area that Cuellar has faithfully represented in the revered chambers of the US Congress.

Before his time in Congress, Cuellar spent 14 years (from 1987 to 2001) as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, where he developed his political knowledge and dedication to public service. When he was elected Texas Secretary of State in 2001, becoming the most recent Democrat to hold a statewide post in the enormous state of Texas, his commitment to public service was further demonstrated.

In 2004, Cuellar entered the national political scene, defeating incumbent Ciro Rodriguez in a primary fight to win a tough election. He has established himself as a major centrist in the House Democratic Caucus, deftly navigating the complicated and varied terrain of American politics.

Cuellar’s political career has been characterized by tenacity as he repeatedly won reelection in general elections and prevailed in several tough primary contests, particularly in 2020 and 2022.
