Hi John, Jessica Cisneros here. I need just a quick moment of your time.

I’m a proud daughter of Mexican Immigrants, a native-South Texan, an immigration and human rights attorney, and I’m running to unseat Rep. Henry Cuellar in Congress. Here’s why I’m going all-in to win:

Just this year alone, Texas has faced serious consequences from climate disasters from the power grid failures to extreme weather our infrastructure was not prepared to handle. And recently, ProPublica listed Laredo as a hotspot for industrial air pollution.

But instead of addressing these issues head-on, Henry Cuellar has rolled back environmental protections and has taken thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry — earning him the title of “Big Oil’s favorite Democrat.” He’s even accepted last-minute corporate checks, television ads, and mailers funded by the American Petroleum Institute and the Koch Political Network to get re-elected in last year’s election.

South Texas deserves better, John. We can’t accept another minute of Henry Cuellar’s refusal to do what’s best for our communities and our planet. That’s why I’m proud to be endorsed by Sunrise Movement as we work to bring representation to our neighbors who have been impacted by the climate crisis.


With just less than three months until the TX-28 Democratic primary, we must double down our efforts to unseat Cuellar. Once elected to Congress, I’ll hold big polluters accountable, address the climate crisis, and advocate for a Green New Deal. Will you contribute a split donation between Sunrise Movement and my campaign? [[link removed]]

In just this cycle alone, Rep. Cuellar has received $100,200 from the Oil & Gas industry. Throughout the Build Back Better budget reconciliation process, six major oil and gas drillers spent $15M to lobby against climate action.

Even more, four oil and gas companies that have reported “specifically lobbying against methane regulation” have all maxed out their donations to Rep. Cuellar this cycle:

Simply put, Henry Cuellar is bought by the oil and gas industry and will do whatever it takes to please them. We cannot depend on him to work for the best interest of South Texans in Congress any longer. That’s why we need you to join our movement today.

Sunrise is leading the way to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. Will you join us in growing the movement to stop the climate crisis by splitting a contribution with Sunrise Movement and my campaign today before the TX-28 Democratic primary? [[link removed]]

In solidarity,

Jessica Cisneros
