“EMERGENCY” - In First Television Ad, Dr. Ada Cuellar Introduces Herself as the Candidate Who Can Handle an Emergency

ALAMO, TX - Dr. Ada Cuellar, the Democrat running for Congress in Texas’s 15th Congressional District, launched her first television ad today emphasizing her experience handling emergencies. The ad, which starts airing this morning on both broadcast and cable television, also highlights her roots in the district and her experience as a single mom who knows what hard working South Texans struggle with every day.

In the :30 second spot, Dr. Cuellar also draws a clear contrast between herself and her primary opponent and winter Texan Bobby Pulido, noting that she is “an ER doctor, single mom, and problem solver…not a celebrity.”

As an ER doctor, I know what an emergency looks like and there are warning signs flashing everywhere,” said Dr. Cuellar, echoing the introduction to her ad. “Donald Trump is a celebrity whose extreme agenda has brought tariffs that are costing families more, indiscriminate raids of Latino communities by masked agents, and the gutting of healthcare and the social safety net to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We don’t need another celebrity in Washington, we need someone with the experience to stand up and fight for our communities.

The ad will also run on online platforms and on social media. A broadcast quality version is available online at the following link: EMERGENCY - TV Spot

Ad Script:

CUELLAR: When this is your work day, you understand what an “emergency” looks like. I’m Dr. Ada Cuellar – I’m running for Congress because the warning lights are flashing. Yo soy de aquí. I’m an ER doctor, single mom, and problem solver…not a celebrity. 

PODCAST HOST: Bobby Pulido is in the house…How is it living in Mexico City?

PULIDO: I bought a place … I’m a winter Texan.

CUELLAR: I’ll fight for fair wages and to bring down the cost of groceries, child care, and health care. I approve this message because we need someone in Washington who can handle an emergency.
