John,
On Monday night, Politico reported the Supreme Court was set to overturn Roe v. Wade with the release of a leaked majority draft. Now, right-wing extremists and conservative representatives are preparing to end federal abortion — and they're being supported by House Democrat, Henry Cuellar.
That's right, John — Cuellar was the only House Democrat to vote against the Women's Health Protection Act last year. He's even received recent awards from the March for Life, an extreme right-wing anti-abortion group.
In less than three weeks Jessica Cisneros will face her second Election Day — a run-off election against Henry Cuellar to represent Texas' 28th District in the House of Representatives.
We need to ramp up our support for Jess right now if we want to ensure that our progressive movement is able to grow — and that Henry Cuellar and his corrupt and destructive legacy is no more. Will you please rush a split donation right now to support Jess's campaign and help provide the tools and resources to ensure that our progressive movement is successful come May 24?
I am proud to be one of the first sitting members of Congress to endorse Jessica Cisneros back in December — and throughout her campaign, I've continued to support Jess because we know just how dangerous and destructive Henry Cuellar truly is.
For the last 17 years, Cuellar has voted alongside Republican and conservative actors — with strong ties to anti-choise organizations and ultra-wealthy Republican donors. According to Cuellar's voting records — last year, he voted with Trump 70% of the time.
Cuellar has spent over $2 million trying to fight off Jess and our progressive movement — but we're showing no signs of slowing down. If we can continue growing our momentum and support for Jess, we will see victory for our progressive movement and inspire other leaders to step up and challenge the broken status-quo in their communities.
Now more than ever, we are being shown just how important it is to have true progressive allies in our government who are willing to do everything in their power to fight for our values.
Let's do this,
Jamaal Bowman
