Reps. Henry Cuellar and Tony Gonzales have a lot in common. They are both exceptional public servants who represent Texas in the United States House. They both have a consistent record of demonstrating courage by standing up to the extremes of their party, often at great political and personal risk. Both represent districts deeply impacted by the thousands coming in from Mexico illegally, and both know the country is long overdue for finding a two-party solution to our border and immigration challenges. And both are soft-spoken leaders whose pleasant demeanors contrast with their tough-minded determination to put country over party in serving their constituents and the nation. You know what is different about them? Congressman Cuellar is a Democrat and Congressman Gonzales is a Republican. It should not be noteworthy that a pair of members of Congress from different parties are willing to appear together to tell America about their shared vision for two-party solutions. But, as you know, such a joint message is all-too rare in our country today. We want you to join in so you can hear what they have to say, but also to virtually meet them. We are confident you will be impressed. Congressman Cuellar grew up in working-class Laredo, the son of parents who spoke no English. He is regularly called the most moderate Democrat in the House and has a record of bravely disagreeing with his party leadership, as he did as part of the so-called “Unbreakable Nine,” demanding the bipartisan infrastructure bill be considered on its own merits, rather than tethered to the Democrats’ partisan spending package. His capacity to take heat from the far left is both legendary and graceful. Congressman Gonzales is a Navy veteran who also knows what it means to cross his party leadership. He did that in voting to support a bipartisan investigation of the January 6th attack on the Capitol. And he did it again after the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in his district. With many on the right calling on him to vote “no” on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, he supported the measure, movingly citing his own childhood experiences with guns. Those are two outstanding patriots, two outstanding leaders, and two friends who will inspire you with their stories, and engage you with their policy ideas on immigration. Please join us!
