Hispanic conservatives accuse House GOP hopeful of defrauding donors and activists
Trust is earned, not demanded.
Hispanic conservatives are sounding the alarm on Abraham Enriquez, accusing the House of Representatives hopeful of defrauding donors and orchestrating a scheme that pulled in hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years in exchange for providing access to senior officials in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Furthermore, Enriquez’s House disclosure forms omitted his primary source of income and provided no accounting of his assets. Enriquez has pledged to correct the forms after being contacted by the Washington Examiner.
Enriquez, the founder and president of the nonprofit group Bienvenido US, is running against seven other candidates in the Republican primary for Texas’s 19th Congressional District, a safe Republican area stretching from Lubbock to Abilene in the upper midwestern portion of the state. The seat is held by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), who is not seeking reelection.
Bienvenido US bills itself as “an organization dedicated to mobilizing, enhancing, and empowering Hispanics,” but nearly a dozen people familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner that the organization is little more than an enrichment front for the 31-year-old. Enriquez denies the allegations.
‘Literally, putting a pressure cooker in DC’
Hispanic conservatives, lawmakers, and activists alike have directly accused Bienvenido US and Enriquez of defrauding donors by lying about political outreach that never occurred, and silencing individuals aware of their behavior through the use of nondisclosure agreements and cease and desist orders.
Multiple sources declined to speak with the Washington Examiner on the record, as they had personally signed Bienvenido’s NDA or had been sent cease and desist orders by Enriquez and his legal team. But they all confirmed, on background, that Enriquez routinely failed to deliver on promises made to organizations or individuals in exchange for donations, including voter registration and canvassing.
“Unfortunately, politics can be a dirty business, and some shady characters have targeted my family and me,” Enriquez said, confirming the existence of the legal gags. “Just like President Trump had to do, I hired a lawyer to protect us. These people are scumbags. Calling them ‘whistleblowers’ is a joke. The only thing they blow through is the money of the poor donors who bankroll their grifts.”
One person alleged that the Faith & Freedom Coalition and Job Creators Network both donated $100,000 each to Bienvenido for …
