My Take
What strikes me about Henry Cuellar is his rootedness. Born and raised in Laredo, right on the Rio Grande, he went from local lawyer to representing Texas's 28th district for two decades. I have a soft spot for politicians who never abandon the soil they came from, and Cuellar reads as exactly that kind of figure. Within the Democratic Party he has a reputation for charting his own course, and I tend to find independent-minded operators more interesting than reliable party voters.
