Henry Cuellar

Gov. Greg Abbott has added congressional redistricting to the state legislature's upcoming special session at President Donald Trump's request to create new Republican seats. One expert said it's an unusual and risky move.

Cuellar and Ramiro Cavazos, the president and CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, held a press conference on Saturday to urge the Trump administration to extend the Tomato Suspension Agreement or risk sweeping economic damage to business sectors built on stable tomato prices.

Concerns about measures to enforce a ban against a lawmaker’s access to voter files led the party to drop the vote, a party leader said.

The Democratic congressman was indicted on multiple charges earlier this year, but narrowly secured another term.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

South Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar says he's being targeted by the Department of Justice. Cuellar was indicted on bribery and money laundering charges, but he continues to seek re-election. The Laredo Democrat recently sat down with Texas Public Radio's David Martin Davies for an exclusive interview.

The Laredo Democrat faces allegations of bribery, money laundering and working on behalf of a foreign government.

NOTUS took a deep dive into the Cuellar family's dealings in Laredo.

The announcement comes in the wake of a federal indictment filed earlier this month that alleges the congressman and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities. They said they are innocent.

Furman defeated rancher Lazaro Garza Jr. in a GOP primary runoff that determined who will challenge Cuellar in the general election.
