John,
Since Thursday, we’ve raised $24,965 for Jessica Cisneros’ campaign to defeat Henry Cuellar. Here’s why that’s important:
Cuellar’s house and campaign office were raided by the FBI last week, and that could be a turning point in our campaign to defeat Cuellar.
On Friday, Cuellar accepted an award from an extreme anti-abortion group that opposes Roe v. Wade. Even among corporate-backed Democrats, Cuellar is an extreme outlier.
And in-person early voting starts in just 3 weeks. We brought in the haul for Jessica from 908 donations at an average of just $27. At Justice Democrats we’re fueling not just Jessica’s rapidly approaching primary, we’re fueling 5 other insurgent progressive primaries AND working hard to protect Justice Democrats like Marie Newman and Rashida Tlaib facing competitive primaries.
John, the margin for error is so small in our primaries. We’re running races against corporate Democrats taking huge sums of campaign cash from Wall Street, Big Pharma, and fossil fuel executives. We don’t take a cent from corporate PACs. That means we really need your help to do our work.
For all of our races, we don’t just help candidates raise money, we’re there from the very beginning to help build campaigns. And we remain right there with the campaigns doing everything we can to strategize and organize with our progressive candidates. That’s what we’re doing down the stretch with Jessica in Texas and it’s what we need to do for the rest of our 2022 primaries.
Can you help support this work, John? It’s a heavy lift, especially for a grassroots organization like Justice Democrats facing the entire political establishment. Your support is the only way we can defeat corporate Democrats and upend the status quo. So, if you can, please chip in $3 now.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
