Tijerina points to Cuellar’s federal bribery charges and pardon as evidence of unreliability, arguing it cost him critical influence on the House Appropriations Committee — vital for bringing federal funds to the area. He also criticizes Cuellar’s focus on international trade, claiming the inland port has been overlooked due to weak leadership. With newly drawn district lines favoring Republicans and Tijerina touting his record on tax cuts and pragmatic immigration policies, he’s positioning himself as a fresh alternative — one that appeals to Latino voters wary of GOP extremism while embracing traditional conservative values.
