Voting begins in 2 weeks in a hot Texas congressional primary that pits a
progressive against a corporate Democrat who worked with Joe Manchin to
obstruct the Democratic agenda.
YAHOO! News reports that progressive Jessica Cisneros has big momentum
following key endorsements and an FBI raid of her incumbent opponent, Rep.
Henry Cuellar.
Jessica Cisneros is our next PCCC Meet the Candidates guest as she seeks
to unseat conservative, corporate Dem Henry Cuellar in Texas’ very-blue
28th Congressional District.
[ [link removed] ]RSVP here to meet Jessica on Zoom this Thursday, February 3, at 7pm
Eastern (4pm Pacific) just 2 weeks before voting begins!
This event is free, but [ [link removed] ]if you’re inspired by Jessica, chip in $3 to
her campaign.
The Daily Beast says: "Texas Primary Will Be Progressives' 2022 'Testing
Ground.'" A win in this March 1 primary will build hope, enthusiasm, and
momentum for the many progressive primaries to come later.
In 2020, Jessica came within 4 points of defeating conservative incumbent
Rep. Henry Cuellar in this safe blue district.
There is good reason to make sure she has the resources to finish the job
this time.
It was bad enough that Rep. Henry Cuellar was one of the nine Democrats
that fought for corporate interests and watered down the Build Back Better
bill last summer. But then, when Senator Joe Manchin finally went on Fox
and said he'd vote "No" on passing the bill -- Cuellar supported Manchin!
Build Back Better is far from the only problem Cuellar creates for
Democrats. Here’s the Kansas City Star: "Rep. Henry Cuellar is a
conservative-leaning Democrat who has unapologetically defended gun rights
and the energy industry during his 17 years in Congress…He also was the
lone House Democrat to oppose major abortion rights legislation in
September."
The Washington Post reports that "Cuellar is the 4th biggest House
recipient of oil and gas contributions in the 2022 cycle so far" -- and he
receives the most in campaign funds from the private prison system.
In contrast, The Nation writes: "Jessica Cisneros Is the Future of the
Democratic Party."
And it is easy to see why. Jessica is the daughter of Mexican immigrants.
She is a bold progressive, human rights and immigration attorney. She has
a history of fighting for the most vulnerable. And in Congress, Jessica
will fight for reproductive rights, workers’ rights, immigrant rights,
climate justice, Medicare for All, and lots of other progressive
priorities.
Jessica is the anti-Cuellar.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
