John -- It’s official: we’re just one month away from the TX-28 Democratic Primary.
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 running to defeat one of the most right-wing Democrats in Congress, Henry Cuellar. Please allow me to explain why I’m determined to win. Then, I hope you’ll consider splitting a $28 contribution between my campaign and Brand New Congress today: [[link removed]]

For far too long, Henry Cuellar has put special interests before his own constituents. Before I ran for Congress the first time, Cuellar sided with Donald Trump on nearly 70% of his votes. His campaign was, and still is , bankrolled by the Koch network, the private prison industry, and big corporate PACs.
And just recently, the FBI raided Henry Cuellar’s mansion and campaign office, even seizing his property, as part of a court-ordered investigation by the federal agency tasked with corruption and bribery cases. Cuellar refuses to say why he is involved and says he’s committed as ever to winning this race. I believe South Texas deserves a transparent representative who is focused on serving the District, not someone under FBI investigation who is more interested in serving corrupt Washington interests.
Even though we were heavily outspent in the last election, 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 as we get closer to the primary.
Will you help bring bold, progressive change to South Texas by splitting a contribution between my campaign and Brand New Congress today? It’s absolutely critical for us to raise as much money as possible before our primary. [[link removed]]

This campaign is about much more than defeating Cuellar. It’s about sending representation to Congress that will fight tooth and nail for working people, for immigrant communities, for all of my neighbors in South Texas who have been ignored, neglected, and disenfranchised.
Texas’s 28th District is what some people call a “blue seat.” But our representative, Henry Cuellar, hasn’t acted like a Democrat in Congress. Instead, he’s catering to his corporate donors, the NRA, Big Oil, private prison companies, and 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 that creates good-paying union jobs.
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 big grassroots movement can take on the machine and win. But, I can’t do it without you, so please help us out in the final stretch.
Please, make the best contribution you can to join our movement to bring bold, progressive change to South Texas. Any contributions made now between our primary on March 1st are incredibly helpful — whether you can give $5, $50, or even more. [[link removed]]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who supported us last time, and who is stepping out to support us as we get closer to the primary.
In solidarity,
Jessica Cisneros
Candidate for Congress, TX-28
Brand New Congress
Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We invest EARLY to help grassroots candidates succeed. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020 alongside Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tliab. And we have our first win of 2022: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won her primary by FIVE votes thanks to BNC.
We have elections from now until November, and our candidates are counting on your support. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people .
