Dear John,
Today, I’m proud to announce I’m running for Congress in Texas’ 28th District. For those of you who haven’t met me yet, I’m Jessica Cisneros. I’m the proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, a lifelong Texan, and a human rights lawyer. I’m running because it’s time to elect a Democrat in South Texas who’ll fight for all of us, not side with Trump Republicans and big corporate donors.
Last year, I ran in my home district against one of the most right-wing Democrats in Congress, Henry Cuellar. Before I jumped in the race, Cuellar sided with Donald Trump on nearly 70% of his votes. His campaign was bankrolled by the Koch network, the private prison industry, and big corporate PACs.
Even though we were heavily outspent, we lost by only 2,746 votes – just 3% of the vote. We came so close because we built a big, diverse, inclusive grassroots movement in South Texas. This time, we’re going to win if we can build on that momentum. But I need your help today on Day One.
Will you join our campaign for Congress on Day One? Sign your name now to say you want to be part of this movement.
Join Our Campaign
This campaign is about sending representation to Congress that will fight tooth and nail for our working people, for immigrant communities, for all of my neighbors in South Texas who have been ignored, neglected, and disenfranchised.
Texas’ 28th District is what some people call a “blue seat.” But our congressman, Henry Cuellar, hasn’t acted like a Democrat in the House of Representatives. He’s fought instead to serve his corporate donors, the NRA, Big Oil, private prison companies, and the big banks.
I’m running because we need a representative who’ll fight for a path to citizenship, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal.
I’m running because we need to get big money out of politics and stop letting corporate donors stack the deck in D.C.
I’m running because this moment, in the wake of a devastating pandemic, requires Democrats in Congress who will actually get things done, not stand in the way.
Despite everything stacked against us, we defied expectations by barely losing our primary in 2020. But it was just the beginning.
Together, this time, we are going to prove that a fearless brown woman from the border and a big grassroots movement can take on the machine and win. But, I can’t do it without you, so please help us out on Day One.
Please, sign your name to say you’re with us. Become a Day One endorser of our campaign for Congress.
Endorse Our Campaign
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported us last time, and who is stepping out to support us on Day One today.
In solidarity,
Jessica Cisneros
