Our campaign is powered by people like you, John

Thanks to grassroots supporters like you, we’re making up for lost time. John, Henry Cuellar has more than $2.21 million in the bank for his campaign as we speak. Our campaign is only 3 months old, so we have a lot of ground to make up to keep up with Henry Cuellar’s fundrai…

Do you have a moment?

John, our campaign has been getting a lot of attention lately — so I thought I’d take a moment to share my story and why I’m running for Congress: I was born and raised in the border town of Laredo, Texas. When my older sister needed urgent medical care that was only availa…

*Ring, ring*

Here’s how you can get a chance to talk to me! John, A lot of political candidates spend hours and hours a day on the phone with wealthy corporate donors, trying to win their favor in exchange for a big check — like our opponent Henry Cuellar. But that’s not how we’re ru…
