Washington, D.C.—Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) delivered pizza to National Guard troops to express his gratitude for protecting the U.S. Capitol.

“I wanted to take a moment in between votes to thank the members of the National Guard who are protecting our nation’s Capitol until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn into office. I am eternally grateful for their selfless service to our democracy.  

“The Capitol is usually filled with tourists and students, interested in learning our country’s history and seeing our government work. However, seeing hundreds of service members at the Capitol shows the severity of the crisis that was caused by Trump's dangerous rhetoric. These brave service men and women are the antithesis of the rioters who attacked this building one week ago.”
