John,
Henry Cuellar — Trump’s favorite Democrat — just attacked Justice Democrats and Jessica Cisneros!
In an interview on national television, Cuellar once again repeated Republican talking points and tried to attack Justice Democrats by insinuating we weren’t “Democrats” but “Justice Socialists” because we fight for progressive policies.
Then Cuellar misled the audience about how often he’s voted with Trump; the truth is that he voted with Trump 69% of the time before Democrats took back the House last year — the exact time when we needed Democrats to fight back.
Cuellar is feeling the heat. It’s crucial that we respond and show him that the people are with us. When our small-dollar fundraising numbers go up, it’s a sign of our movement’s strength.
It’s strange that someone would keep using Republican talking points in a district that Hillary Clinton and Beto O’Rourke won by nearly 20 points. Henry Cuellar doesn’t represent the will of the voters. His policy positions are bought and paid for by Big Oil, the NRA, the Kochs, and private prison corporations like GEO Group. Cuellar has let Republican donors and corporate PACs buy his votes in Congress.
We need to beat Henry Cuellar on March 3rd, 2020 and Jessica Cisneros is running the kind of grassroots campaign to do it. She’s fighting for big, bold policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, getting big money out of politics, and ending mass deportations in order to match the scale of the crises we’re facing. But she can’t do it alone — she needs our financial support to compete.
Help us fight back against Henry Cuellar by splitting a contribution between JD and Jessica today.
Thank you for fighting back with us today.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
