A former press secretary for Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas announced Wednesday that he will try and run for his congressional seat as a Republican
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, discusses the border crisis, how it needs to be addressed and the handling by the Biden administration.
"The experience was unparalleled," Sanz said of his work with Cuellar."However, over time it became clear that my values and beliefs did not align with those of the office. I had to make a change so I could fight for what matters to me most ... my conservative ideals and the ability to represent the family values of the people of District 28 in Washington, D.C."
Sanz was born in Mexico City and moved to the U.S. with his family at 9-years-old to escape the violence, he said. He was raised in the suburbs of Houston and lives in the border town of Laredo.
