Jessica Cisneros has less than a week to go before in-person early voting begins! |
John,
Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros is facing an anti-abortion, corporate-backed Democrat that has millions in campaign cash from Big Pharma, fossil fuel executives, and private prisons. His name is Henry Cuellar and he’s the most conservative Democrat in the House.
AND, Cuellar is getting investigated by the FBI. If we have a chance to lift Jessica to victory, it’s right now. The cloud of an FBI investigation is hanging over Cuellar and he just accepted an award from an extreme anti-abortion group. Jessica can absolutely win this race, but Cuellar has more than $2 million of campaign cash — nearly 5 times more than Jessica.
Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends more money. But, we’ve won races with less money, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a high-ranking corporate Democrat in 2018. But it’s really hard to do, and that’s one of the reasons AOC’s victory shocked the political establishment so much.
Jessica has been building a campaign to win since 2019. This is her second challenge against Cuellar. Another Justice Democrat shocked the political establishment when she ran a second time: Cori Bush.
Jessica can win her race with less money, John, and Justice Democrats can once again shock the political establishment. But we need to tighten the gap and ensure Jessica has the resources to reach as many voters as possible before in-person early voting starts next week, and primary election day comes on March 1.
We can only win these upset primary victories with your help, John.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
