Congressman Cuellar (D-TX28) released the following statement on his membership to the Congressional Future Caucus:

“This week, I joined the bipartisan Congressional Future Caucus, a group that aims to reengage the next generation of American leaders,” said Congressman Henry Cuellar.  “As a father of two young daughters, it is important for me to ensure that the world they inherit is forward looking and full of opportunity.  The unique challenges faced by young people of their generation are some of the most important to me – a quality education, affordable healthcare, and participation in our democratic process.  I encourage my colleagues across the aisle to partner together so that we can reengage young people with our government, at the federal, state, and local level. This kind of commitment can be demonstrated through community service, an interest in public affairs, and a dedication to making the neighborhoods in which we live a better place.    

I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that the next generation of Americans is engaged with the pressing issues facing our nation.”
