Tuesday, the PCCC, End Citizens United, and Elizabeth Warren are co-hosting a virtual, grassroots fundraiser for bold progressive Jessica Cisneros as she challenges one of the worst corporate Dems in Congress.
Jessica Cisneros is up against Henry Cuellar, who is being propped up by none other than Joe Manchin’s PAC.
But after forcing him into a runoff last month, Jessica is sharing what she plans to if she wins: "Together, we will take control back from Big Oil, private prisons, and Wall Street, and put it back where it belongs: with the people."
RSVP here to meet Jessica and Senator Warren on Zoom this coming Tuesday, May 3, at 7pm Eastern (4pm Pacific) just 3 weeks before voting ends! The event will include a Q&A so you can ask Jessica and Senator Warren your questions!

In 2020, Jessica came within 4 points of defeating incumbent Rep. Henry Cuellar in this safe blue district.
There is good reason to make sure she has the resources to finish the job this time.
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!
That is far from the only problem Cuellar creates for Democrats. Here’s the Kansas City Star: "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.
Cuellar is just bad news. In contrast, The Nation writes: "Jessica Cisneros Is the Future of the Democratic Party."
It is easy to see why. Jessica is the daughter of Mexican immigrants. She is a bold progressive, human rights and immigration attorney. She has a history of fighting for the most vulnerable. And in Congress, Jessica will fight for reproductive rights, workers’ rights, immigrant rights, climate justice, Medicare for All, and tons of other progressive priorities.
Jessica is the anti-Cuellar.
And if you can’t make it, but you’re inspired by Jessica, chip in to her campaign here.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
