I want to thank @USDA for keeping us informed and preparing Texas for this devastating news. We are monitoring this closely in Webb County and throughout South Texas.
Together we will work with local, state and federal agencies to protect our food supply and way of life.
Just wrapped up a virtual meeting with ~50 of our outstanding Texas cattle ranchers and @TAHC. I also have been in contact with @GregAbbott_TX, @LtGovTX, and the @Burrows4TX team.
Our food supply is 100% safe. This potential New World Screworm detection is being fully contained and is not a harm to the American food supply or consumer safety. The NWS specimen has arrived at the airport in Ames, IA and is being transferred to National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL). We will update as soon as we have confirmed test results.
Unfortunately, the open-border policies of the last administration and the resulting illicit cattle movement throughout Mexico have caused NWS to potentially reach our side of the border. BUT, there is no one better than Texas and our live stock producers to have in this fight.
All models showed NWS coming to the U.S. last summer/early fall — so a big thank you to our partners across the industry and local, state and the entire Trump administration for unprecedented action that gave us almost an extra year to prepare for this moment.
Together with so many partners, including the Texas Animal Health Commission, Texas A&M AgriLife, Texas Farm Bureau, Texas Cattle Feeders and Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, we will effectively combat, contain and eventually eradicate this pest.
Additional @USDA personnel have arrived in South Texas to support our partners on the ground. The National Veterinary Stockpile is ready to deploy and on its way. I now call on our producers to be vigilant and watchful. The most effective thing to do right now is to put eyes on all live stock. If you see anything suspicious, contact your state animal health official (linked on the https://t.co/PWVCae53Jw website).
Texas cattle and live stock producers are the backbone of our state and our nation. We will meet this challenge head-on.

In memory of many, in honor of all. THANK YOU 🇺🇸
Their courage built the legacy of freedom we cherish today. This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the fallen heroes who gave everything for our country.
The people of TX-28 are smart. National democrats haven’t proven themselves and they take us for granted.
That’s why I left the party and it’s one of the reasons I’m running for congress as a Republican.

High energy. Strong team. One mission. Proud to stand with the @NRCC today as we gear up to fight for conservative values, defend our majority, and take the momentum all the way to November! 🔥🇺🇸
Happy 271st Birthday to Laredo! Proud to celebrate the history, culture, and resilience that continue to make our community special.
Thank you to the Webb County Heritage Foundation for organizing today’s celebration. 🎉
Hudson reacts to Jeffries saying that Rs aren’t contesting Cuellar’s seat
“The facts don’t back that up. Henry Cuellar is in big trouble.”
Hudson says Tano Tijerina is the best candidate Rs have had in years in #TX28
Appreciate the opportunity to connect with leaders at today’s Greater Houston Port Bureau Commerce Club Luncheon. Great discussions on the future of port operations, logistics, and pre-arrival communications. Thank you Mr. Vincent J. DiCosimo for the invitation.
For too long, South Texas has been held back by corruption and the same failed leadership.
We’re building a movement to change that—focused on accountability and putting South Texas first.
Stand with us. Join the movement. 🇺🇸

Proud to cut the ribbon on Webb County’s new Meals on Wheels facility! This is what leadership looks like. Our new facility will expand services and deliver up to 500 meals a day. I’m grateful to the vision of Commissioners Court to make this facility a reality.
This isn’t about party labels—it’s about values.
South Texas families want leadership that understands them and shows up for them. That’s exactly what this campaign is about. This is how we win and earn trust. #SouthTexas#tx28 https://t.co/CXPOJ1kfB1
The ANCA endorses Webb County @JudgeTano Tijerina in his campaign to unseat @RepCuellar - indicted for accepting nearly $600,000 in Azerbaijani bribes to rig U.S. policy against Armenia & Artsakh.
“TX-28 is ground zero in the fight to hold Azerbaijan accountable for its foreign interference in American democracy,” said @Anca_Texas Co-Chair Phil Kanayan. “Judge Tijerina understands what is at stake - not just for Armenian Americans in Texas, but for every voter in this district who was betrayed by a Congressman who sold his vote to a foreign government. We are proud to stand with Judge Tijerina and will be working to deliver this seat back to the people of South Texas.” @ANCA_WR

It’s Tax Day, and I’m thinking about the families across South Texas working long hours to provide for their loved ones.
That’s why it matters that we now have no taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security—real relief for hardworking people.
I’m grateful to President Trump and House Republicans for fighting for this. Democrats opposed it—but I’ll always stand with you.
On the campaign trail in 2024, President Trump promised the American people that he would sign the largest tax cuts in the history of our country.
On Independence Day last year, President Trump and Congressional Republicans delivered — passing the largest tax cuts in history for working and middle-class Americans — including No Tax on Tips, Overtime, and Social Security.
They also delivered unprecedented tax relief for small businesses, farmers, workers, and families.
With Tax Day officially here, the numbers prove that these tax cuts have been nothing short of extraordinary:
✅More than 53 million filers claimed at least one of President Trump’s signature new tax cuts.
💰The average refund this filing season is more than $3,400.
📈The Trump Administration has issued more refunds — and larger refunds — than in any year in the history of our country.
Promises Made. Promises Kept.
After 20 years in Washington, Henry Cuellar is losing support from his own voters. South Texas deserves leadership that reflects our values and fights for our communities. That’s exactly what we’re building in this campaign!
This race is about the future of South Texas. I’m honored to join the fight to help protect the House Majority. We’re building a strong coalition of supporters from across the district and the nation that are ready for accountability and real representation.
🚨🚨This is the MAGA MAJORITY🚨🚨
The 1st of our team of America First Patriots running to Grow the Republican House Majority and Win Big this November!
Backed by President @realDonaldTrump & Speaker @MikeJohnson
South Texas, today is election day and we must show up!
Standing with President Trump last week was a powerful moment as I represented the hardworking, faith-filled patriots of our border communities. I’m proud to have his support.
District 28 and South Texas is not just a border.
We power this country, our ports, our refineries, our ranches, and our military bases.
Aquí no le tenemos miedo al trabajo! Nunca hemos tenido miedo.
I’m ready to fight for South Texas. And I’m ready to win.
Get out and vote today! 🇺🇸
Grateful to speak in Corpus Christi as we welcomed our President to the greatest state in the nation.
Jobs. Energy. Affordability. South Texas is ready.
Let’s hold the House and fight for #TX28.
Keep Texas, Texas.

I’m lifting up the brave American servicemen and women serving around the world in prayer, asking God to watch over them and protect them from harm. For too long, the Iranian regime has supported terror and violence against Israel, the United States, and nations across the Middle East. I pray for wisdom for our leaders and courage for those defending freedom and standing against evil. May God bless our troops and guide our nation.
