Congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros told supporters Monday, "A couple of weeks ago, my opponent Henry Cuellar, was raided by the FBI -- both his house and campaign headquarters."
On our Zoom call with Jessica in just a few minutes (7pm ET, 4pm PT TODAY) you can get the very latest on the raid, ask her your questions, and hear how this progressive plans to unseat conservative, corporate Dem Henry Cuellar in Texas’ deep-blue 28th Congressional District.
Sign in here to meet Jessica on Zoom at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific TODAY, Thursday, February 3!
This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Jessica, please chip in $3 to her campaign.
The Daily Beast says this "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. Early voting starts in under 2 weeks!
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 in 2022.
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 with Henry Cuellar. The Kansas City Star reports: "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. As a bold progressive human rights and immigration attorney, Jessica has a long history of fighting for the most vulnerable. In Congress, she 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.
This event is free, but if you’re inspired by Jessica, chip in $3 to her campaign.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
