The change in House majority and the upcoming TX-23 runoff between GOP Rep. Henry Bonilla and former Dem Rep. Ciro Rodriguez is turning out to be an opportunity for Rep. Henry Cuellar, who first unseated Rodriguez in the 2004 Democratic primary. A recent article in the San Antonio News-Express explored the efforts of Cuellar to mend any still-broken fences with the incoming majority, including his having raised over $150,000 for the DCCC and indvidual House candidates. Colin Strother, a campaign spokesman for Ceullar, told Election Central that Cuellar and Rodriguez have recently spoken on the phone, and that "the past is the past" between them. Strother told EC that Cuellar has endorsed Rodriguez and is open to campaigning for him in the runoff, but hasn't yet been asked. It would probably be a good idea for Cuellar — who was endorsed by the right-wing Club For Growth in a rematch with Rodriguez earlier this year — to do as much as possible on Rodriguez's behalf in order to patch up any lingering mistrust against himself in the next Congress.
