Rep. Henry Cuellar Uses Taxpayer-Funded Congressional Ad to Tout ‘Real Results’

Listen to Article

Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas is airing a House-office commercial that credits his work for Starr County. The message lists safer roads, school support, wider affordable medical access, extra help for police and veterans, and firm border measures, plus a pledge to keep taxes down.

The commercial names his congressional office as the payer. House rules treat ordinary advertising costs as reimbursable when they follow federal law, chamber rules, and communications standards. Members must identify the funding source on television and radio, using one of three approved lines that attribute payment to official House funds.
