“Run for a lower office.” Don’t aim that high.
That's what Henry Cuellar told Jessica when he first heard about her ambition to run for Congress. Yeah, we’re rolling our eyes too.
Jessica talked about that story -- and much more -- when she sat down with VICE to discuss her mission to unseat Cuellar.
You can read the article here, and you can watch a video from her interview below:
Spoiler alert -- here are some standout parts of Jessica’s interview:
-
Cuellar is “pro-gun, anti-abortion, and a supporter of a recent border deal that split his own party”
-
This campaign is running on progressive values that align with this district, challenging Cuellar’s conservative platform
-
Jessica is giving Cuellar a run for his money, and he looks worried (!!)
Even with the incredible momentum our campaign has built, Henry Cuellar is still outraising us, thanks to his corporate support. He may have his corporations, but we have you, and that’s all we need to win. Contribute now and help Jessica build the campaign that will beat Henry Cuellar.

This is proof that people are noticing this campaign and our message. Jessica is running for Congress because Henry Cuellar refuses to stand up and protect this district. If he “doesn’t want to make a statement,” then we will: your time is up, Henry Cuellar.
So yeah, Jessica is aiming that high.
