Issues: Elections

Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement regarding the continuation of the Joint Session of Congress:

"We just witnessed a dark day in our country's history. This was an attack on our democracy and our national security.

"Our current president incited the storming of the United States Capitol. He must be held accountable for the actions that occurred today.

"However, we will not let this lawlessness deter us from fulfilling our constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College. The American people spoke with their ballots and they selected a leader that will unite and restore our republic. Now, it's our time to finish our job and ensure that on January 20th, there is a peaceful transfer of power and President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are sworn in."
