Henry Cuellar’s Indictment Creates a Mess for Democrats in Texas

Rep. Henry Cuellar’s federal indictment puts Texas Democrats in a serious bind.

Cuellar is not beloved by much of his party as one of the most conservative House Democrats and the only one to oppose abortion access. However, his indictment on corruption and bribery charges brings a new complication in the extremely tight race for control of the House of Representatives.

Cuellar already declared that he has no intention of backing away from his reelection campaign.
