ATTN: Cuellar put up ads

An article stated this race could be the historic upset of this cycle. URGENT: Cuellar is running ads, and they are full of empty promises. We just found out our opponent Henry Cuellar launched new campaign ads — and it’s because he’s scared. Cuellar’s ad claims he wi…

This race is leading the way

An article stated this race could be the historic upset of this cycle. Our campaign is just continuing to gain momentum. This morning The Atlantic published an article stating this race would be the historic upset of the 2020 cycle. Facing our own establishment, out-of…

Cuellar should be scared

“If I were an incumbent, I would be scared...” 1 That’s the response we’ve received about our campaign’s eye-boggling fundraising numbers last quarter — and it’s all thanks to you. The impressive hauls of so many other progressive, female candidates like Jessica shows tha…

Who wrote Cuellar the biggest check?

It's going public. On October 15th, all candidates will be forced to make their third quarter fundraising numbers public. Keeping our promise, our report will be free of corporate PAC and lobbyist money (yes, you’ll see that we raised over $310,000 from thousands of grass…

NO border wall

Last night, the Laredo City Council voted to take stand against Donald Trump and his wall by diverting funds away from its construction. I’m proud of our local government for standing up for this community. Unfortunately, my opponent Henry Cuellar has proven time and…

"I love her spirit and her fight."

We're so thankful for our wonderful supporters (like you!). A few days ago, we asked folks to share why they support Jessica Cisneros for Congress. The responses we received were overwhelming — and heartening, and heartwarming. We want to share just a few of them with you.…

We don't have to settle

There's so much at stake in this election. Henry Cuellar's voting history is putting this community — and our country — at risk. During his 15 years in office, Cuellar has a history of voting: AGAINST women's health services. AGAINST the humane treatment of immigrants. …

PETITION: Tell Henry Cuellar to join his colleagues, support impeachment

It's⁠ no wonder Henry Cuellar is called “Trump's favorite Democrat.” Just today, even more Democratic Congressmen came out in support of an impeachment inquiry — but Cuellar wasn’t one of them. These unprecedented allegations represent a gross abuse of power by President Trump …
