NRCC Targets Cuellar's Texas Seat Following Federal Indictment

House Republicans aim to flip the South Texas district as Cuellar faces bribery and money laundering charges.

Henry Cuellar and his wife were indicted on 14 charges each, including accepting $600,000 in bribes.
The NRCC has added Cuellar's seat to its list of 40 target districts for the 2024 election cycle.
Republican candidate Jay Furman will challenge Cuellar, with the race rated as 'Lean Democrat.'
Cuellar denies the charges and remains confident in his re-election bid, citing strong constituent support.
The House Ethics Committee and the Justice Department are conducting separate investigations into Cuellar.
