John,



As we witness the end of Roe v. Wade and one horrific mass shooting after
another, it’s astonishing to see the Democratic Party dump resources into
TX-28 to back an anti-abortion, NRA “A-rated” Democrat. All to stop a
progressive working-class woman of color from bringing her bold vision for
our country to Congress. I’m furious.

It wasn’t just the MASSIVE amount of money (more than $2.5 million) that
Super PACs spent to stop Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros and protect
conservative Democrat Henry Cuellar. It was also top Democrats like Nancy
Pelosi giving anti-choice Cuellar $23,000.

It was Nancy Pelosi and James Clyburn (the third-ranking Democrat in the
House) doing robocalls for Cuellar. Democratic leadership even showed up
to a rally with Cuellar, just days after the leaked Roe Supreme Court
draft decision.

This race isn’t over. Cuellar leads by 177 votes but there are more votes
to count and very likely a recount coming. The current tiny margin here
makes this all the more enraging,
John.

With a margin this small, it’s clear that Jessica could have easily
defeated the one anti-abortion, pro-NRA Democrat in the House if it wasn’t
for the full-throated support of Pelosi and the party establishment in
Washington for Cuellar.

us stay strong alongside Jessica as we ensure every vote is counted in
TX-28. Contribute $3 right now so we can take on the
corporate Democratic Party’s all-out effort to stop our progressive fight.

The priority of the Democratic Party should NOT be to stop progressive
candidates. It should NOT be doing the bidding of Wall Street, Big Oil,
and corporate mega-donors. It should be working to pass progressive
legislation that delivers people the support and relief that we
desperately need.

Instead, Democratic Party leadership spends its time fighting progressives
harder than they fight Republicans and fascists who are trying to tear
apart our democracy and strip women of rights over their own bodies.
Pelosi and the Democratic establishment went all-in for a candidate that
opposes core planks of the Party — abortion rights, worker rights, gun
violence prevention, fighting climate change, etc. — rather than allow a
fair primary between Jessica and Cuellar.

The Democratic Party would rather light money on fire for an anti-abortion
Democrat than use it towards keeping the Democratic majority.

As AOC said, Congress shouldn’t be an incumbent protection racket —
especially when the incumbent is against protecting abortion rights and
against stronger gun laws to reduce the rampant gun violence in this
country.

Not only did the political establishment throw $2 million at Jessica from
AIPAC (the same group that tried and failed to defeat Justice Democrat
Summer Lee with $3 million). The establishment had at least $750,000 from
Democratic mega-donor Reid Hoffman’s “Mainstream Democrats PAC.”

But Cuellar isn’t even a “mainstream Democrat.” He helped thwart President
Biden’s Build Back Better Act, another piece of legislation that Pelosi
supported and Cuellar opposed. Why would Pelosi back Cuellar with money
and robocalls?

It’s because the chief mission of party leaders and corporate donors is to
stop progressive change that threatens the status quo. They don’t want
more Justice Democrats in Congress who will fight to deliver Medicare for
All and a Green New Deal for the people. For the Democratic Party, it’s
corporate profits over the people.

We will continue our fight in TX-28, in our next primary in IL-7, where
Kina Collins will take on Pelosi-backed incumbent Danny Davis, and beyond.

In solidarity,
