Indivisibles,

Great news from Texas. Jessica Cisneros forced a historic runoff in Texas' 28th congressional district, and Greg Casar pulled out an incredible outright win in Texas' 35th congressional district. After endorsing both candidates, Indivisibles knocked on 2,300 doors, sent over 75,000 texts, and your contributions led directly to bilingual campaign ads that reached over 600,000 voters. 

Your work changes the outcome of elections. Your voices shift the debate on what’s possible. This is a proof of concept that your endorsements matter. If you’re ready to have a similar impact in your community, click here to learn about our endorsements process and get started. 

Greg Casar’s win is a victory for progressives from Austin to San Antonio. He’s part of a new generation of progressive leaders who know that the status quo is unacceptable, and he’s bringing the heart of an organizer to Congress. Greg’s win, grounded in good jobs, fair wages, healthcare for all, and an inclusive democracy that protects the right to vote, is a sign of momentum progressives can carry forward in open races across the country. 

Jessica Cisneros was up against Henry Cuellar, a nine-term incumbent congressman and the subject of a current FBI investigation. She used the power of grassroots campaigning to force him into his first-ever runoff. This is a massive win. Jessica is ready to defend our jobs, our environment, and education for all against an incumbent more concerned with corporate backers than the needs of the people of Texas. And she’s well positioned to win in the runoff in May.

But, winning doesn’t come easy. Cuellar, the last anti-choice Democrat in the House, entered this election with three times as much funding as Cisneros (he’s largely funded by dark-money corporate PACs!). Yet, thanks to the grassroots, they still came out neck and neck on Tuesday! To keep up that surge, Jessica Cisneros is going to need to phone bank, text bank, send mailers, run bilingual ads, knock on doors, and mobilize every last bit of ground-level organizing so we can pull out a win in May. That’s going to take nationwide grassroots contributions. If you give $10 now, we will split your funding between a direct donation to Jessica Cisneros’ campaign and support for our efforts to redouble our ground support for her as well as our continuing support of Indivisibles across the country.

These wins in Texas are setting the stage to solidify progressive power in Congress in November. Let’s keep this energy going and continue this progressive push nationwide with local endorsements from Indivisible groups -- just like we did for Jessica Cisneros and Greg Casar -- along with directing our support to progressive incumbents in vulnerable districts, which you can learn about by clicking here for the Give No Ground Program. It’s going to take your continued action to push progressives across the finish line and secure the future of our democracy. 

In solidarity,

Indivisible Team
