Manage episode 371076059 series 3450072
He's not far left or far right--those would be much easier places to be in today's politics. To survive as someone who votes on principles, for the needs of his district, and by getting out the word about his hard-fought successes and achievements, isn't easy.
But Congressman Henry Cuellar, a 10-term member of congress and member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has survived and thrived in Congress as the man who builds relationships with members of congress across the political spectrum, who's learned that old-fashioned outreach and conversations can move mountains, and that the hard work of having uncomfortable conversations and holding the line on principles pays off through respect and results.
People in both political parties spent more than $20 million to defeat him in the last election cycle and he's still standing.
He's proof that nice guys can finish first--if they work hard, tell their story, and build relationships.
Listen to Pete Havel and Rep. Cuellar talk about career skills you need to survive when so many are targeting you. He's the master of building relationships and success. when everyone else is making headlines.
