Born to immigrant parents in Laredo, I am the third eldest of eight children. My father only had a 3rd grade education and my mother went only to the 6th grade. While my upbringing was humble and one without any luxuries, my parents instilled in me at a very young age that through hard work and perseverance anything could be accomplished. While this was not much, there was an abundance of love in our modest cinder block home, which in the summer was burning hot and in the winter was freezing cold.
As a teenager, our family moved to the Texas Hill Country, where my father was a ranch hand. While at the ranch, I would spend the afternoons and weekends helping my father, all in an effort to help put food on the table for my younger siblings. This is where I learned and realized that I wanted to go to college and pursue a career in law
enforcement.
After high school, I graduated with an associates of arts in criminal justice from Laredo Junior College. Who would have known that after 43 years, I would still be doing what I enjoy doing, and that is protecting the citizens of Webb County. It has been an honor being your Sheriff these last 15 years and with your vote and God’s help, I will continue serving you four more years.
Sincerely,
Martin Cuellar Jr., Sheriff
Hijo de padres inmigrantes, soy el tercero de ocho hermanos. Mi padre solo tuvo educación de 3er grado y mi madre solo llegó al 6to grado. Si bien mi crianza fue humilde y sin lujos, mis padres me inculcaron desde muy joven que trabajando duro y con perseverancia, todo se podría lograr. No teniamos lujos pero había mucho amor en nuestra casa de bloque, que en verano era muy caliente y invierno era un congelador.
Cuando era un adolescente, nuestra familia se mudó al Texas Hill Country, donde mi padre trabajaba en un rancho. Mientras estaba en el rancho, pasaba las tardes y los fines de semana ayudandole a mi padre, todo en un esfuerzo por ayudar a poner comida en la mesa para mis hermanos menores. Aquí fue donde me di cuenda que quería ir a la universidad y seguir una carrera en el ambito policial.
Despues de la preparatoria, me gradué de Laredo Junior College con un título asociado en justicia penal. Quien hubiera pensado que despues de 43 años seguiría haciendo lo que disfruto, que es proteger a los ciudadanos del Condado de Webb. Ha sido un honor ser su Sheriff estos últimos 15 años y con su voto y la ayuda de Dios continuaré sirviéndoles cuatro años mas.
Atentamente,
Martin Cuellar, Jr., Sheriff
