Today, Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) issued the following statement:  

“Texas lost a great leader—and I lost a friend—with the passing of Chad Foster this weekend.  Chad was a champion for South Texans who used his voice to advocate for common sense immigration and border security policies to strengthen and secure our region.

Chad was an exemplary mayor, a respected leader and a tireless public servant.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Foster family during this difficult time.  For his leadership, his intelligence and his dedication to the region that he loved, Chad will be missed.”
