Friend —
Jessica Cisneros’s race against Henry Cuellar is going to a
recount. Only 177 votes separate them right now, and with hundreds of
ballots left to be counted, the Cisneros campaign is going to fight
for every vote to be counted.
While we wait, here’s what we know: Bend the Arc
supporters like you joined voters across the country to help Jessica’s
campaign catch up with Cuellar’s corporate war chest, allowing her
team to double their GOTV program before Tuesday.
That’s something to celebrate — rising up with a progressive
challenger who faced millions of dollars in attacks
from Super PACs. And going toe to toe with an opponent, Henry Cuellar,
who was backed by the Democratic establishment
despite being rated “A” by the NRA and voting against unions and
abortion rights.
The status quo — with a Supreme Court preparing to
overturn Roe, book bannings, political attacks on LGBTQ youth, mass
shootings, and an emboldened white nationalist Republican party
— is not an option.
We can’t give up on electing champions who will fight for
real, bold solutions to the systemic issues of racial and economic
inequity that keep our society broken and disproportionately harm
people of color.
Our
current PAC endorsees are also gamechangers in close, competitive
races — contribute today to help them win and make change.
When you give through our PAC, 100% of your
contribution goes directly
to the candidates and demonstrates our priorities as
Jews and allies
While we support Jessica’s recount, here are three upcoming
critical races where our PAC endorsees can help us keep
Democratic control of the House and Senate, and build a deeper
progressive bench in Congress.

Cheri Beasley is running for Senate in North
Carolina — after a career of service as a public defender and
judge, she became the first Black woman to serve as Chief Justice of
the North Carolina Supreme Court, and is fighting for access and
opportunity, no matter your zip code. Contribute
to Cheri Beasley.
Jay Chen is running for CA-45’s House seat — the
son of Taiwanese immigrants, Jay is running for Congress to continue
his work fighting the bigotry and hate crimes targeting the AAPI
community and too many other communities. Contribute
to Jay Chen.
Christy Smith is running for CA-27's House seat —
a seasoned Assemblywoman who has fought for education and worker’s
rights, Christy has one of the best opportunities to flip a seat from
red to blue in a rematch that she only lost by 333 votes last cycle.
Contribute
to Christy Smith.

Contribute
to their campaigns today to support these champions in three of the
most critical races around the
country.
Our electoral work as a movement of Jews and allies can build a
country where everyone is safe and free, no matter their race, faith,
or origin — instead of a future where white nationalist Republicans
have legislative control. Thank you for joining us for this urgent
fight.
Onward,
