[1]NNU - Medicare for All!
The Texas runoff election is less than two months away, and we have a
massive opportunity to elect a progressive champion to Congress who will
fight for Medicare for All, good paying union jobs, a Green New Deal, and
much more.
Jessica Cisneros is running to represent Texas’ 28th district, and in
order to win, it will take a mass movement of people volunteering their
time.

Jessica was born and raised in Laredo, Texas, right on the border with
Mexico. Her parents immigrated to Texas to start a new home for her
family. Even as a child growing up, she saw the issues impacting her
family and her community. Jessica wanted to be part of solving the
problems she saw up close – so she became an immigration and human rights
attorney.
While most people in her district are Democrats, Texas’ 28th has been
represented by Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who voted for Trump’s border
wall twice, does not support Medicare for All, and was the only Democrat
to vote against the PRO Act. He’s been in Congress for 16 years and voted
almost 70% of the time with Donald Trump. It’s time for him to go.
In this year’s primary, Jessica came within just a few percentage points
of defeating Henry Cuellar, and now the race is going to a May 24th
run-off election. Despite being outspent and opposed by the Koch network
and major corporate PACs, she nearly pulled off a massive upset. This time
she will.
Jessica is running because we need a representative who’ll fight for good
paying union jobs, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal. She’s running
because we need to get big money out of politics and stop letting
corporate donors stack the deck in D.C. She's been endorsed by Senator
Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, and many more.
