“I’m very excited to see all these people here to help us crank up our campaign.” A.C. Cuellar said. “I see a lot of excitement and a lot of momentum and we plan to keep it up all the way to March the 6th 2012.”
Cuellar held his campaign kick-off party on September 14. It was open to the public and people and supporters for A.C. Cuellar just kept pouring into the Catholic War Veterans Hall in Weslaco that evening to show their support for him as he put his political campaign for Hidalgo County Commissioner for Precinct One’s seat into motion.
