SOUTH TEXAS REP. RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD FOR LEGISLATIVE EXCELLENCE

Martes 14 de Octubre de 2014

Congressman Henry Cuellar recently announced that he has received the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Award for Legislative Excellence, which honors Members of Congress who demonstrate support for policies that enhance the ability of U.S. manufacturers to succeed in the global economy.
“Jobs in the manufacturing sector support millions of American workers and are a vital part of the success of our economy. Across the country and the State of Texas, workers in plants, factories, and other facilities produce top quality American goods which are sold around the world. The manufacturing industry supported $211 billion dollars in total output in 2012 in Texas alone,” said Congressman Cuellar. “Standing with the manufacturing industry is simple because the manufacturing industry stands with Texas families.”
Congressman Cuellar was one of 238 congressmen to receive the Legislative Excellence Award, which was awarded based on 29 key votes in the House of Representatives. Congressman Cuellar was the only Texas Democrat to receive the award and one of only seven Democrats in the House of Representatives to receive the award. For the past two years in the 113th Congress, Congressman Cuellar had an 86% voting record with NAM.
