Navy veteran Jay Furman emerged victorious in the Republican primary runoff for the Texas 28th Congressional District, positioning himself for a showdown with Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in the upcoming November elections.
The incumbent, Cuellar, and his wife are facing serious allegations of accepting close to $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities, as outlined in a federal court indictment in Texas. The purported illicit activities are said to have transpired from late 2014 through at least November 2021.
