Henry Cuellar’s Record

Voted for the SAVE Act Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote in Federal Elections

2025-04-10

The SAVE Act serves as a voter suppression tactic in that it requires voters to provide proof of citizenship in order to vote. States could require voters to bring their birth certificates to the polls, and disqualify voters whose married names haven't been coordinated across different forms of ID. It creates an administrative burden, requiring women whose married name does not match their birth certificate to correct those records lest they be turned away at the polls. It presents obstacles to troops stationed overseas, Native Americans and disabled people that cannot physically get to a voter registration location to show such proof.

Voted to Facilitate Stripping Non-Profits of Tax-Exempt Status

2024-11-21

H.R. 9495 The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act

This bill's purpose was to make it easier to strip non-profit organizations of their tax-exempt status, ostensibly as a means of stopping anti-semitism. On the surface, the point was to deny groups that advocated for Palestinian rights ("Hamas supporters") tax-exempt status. Critics overwhelmingly pointed out that it could and likely would be used by a Republican administration to go after their enemies such as universities and mutual-aid organizations.

The bill eventually failed to pass in the Senate, so it never became law.

Let’s replace this human doormat with someone prepared to fight fascists.
