The council added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">The Biden administration has turned it\u2019s back on our southern border and on the good people working to secure it. The same old politicians who have made&nbsp;promises for years have clearly failed us and some have even quit trying. It\u2019s time&nbsp;for a new generation of servant leaders with the courage and conviction to step&nbsp;up and take on this challenge, and Cassy Garcia is that leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Around election time, most candidates and politicians will try to score political&nbsp;points by using the border as a photo-op or fundraising gimmick, but Cassy has&nbsp;held the hands of families who\u2019ve lost loved ones to the chaos at our border.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">She\u2019s walked the ground, led the important meetings, and pushed for the&nbsp;resources we so desperately need at a time like now. Working with Cassy, we&nbsp;know she approaches the border crisis with an urgency and solemn duty to solve&nbsp;it; for all of us the stale status quo is insufficient.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">There is no one more qualified, more dedicated, and more motivated to go to&nbsp;Washington and fight to secure our border and protect those who do every day.&nbsp;For our families, our nation\u2019s sovereignty, and to reduce the number of future&nbsp;victims of a failed political system that refuses to act, we stand with Cassy Garcia.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Torunn Sinclair, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), said in a statement that&nbsp;\u201cSouth Texas voters and organizations are waking up and recognizing that Henry Cuellar is all talk and no action when it comes to securing the US-Mexico border.
