Message from AOC: Jessica Cisneros will fight for Green New Deal & Medicare for all



We have some incredible news: Bernie Sanders JUST endorsed Jessica Cisneros for Texas’ 28th district.

Jessica is running against Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who votes with Trump nearly 70% of the time. Replacing him is a national progressive priority.



So we’re asking you to take action now, in solidarity with Bernie’s endorsement, by splitting a $3 gift to Jessica’s campaign.


Donate



Here are the battle lines: on one side, you have Jessica Cisneros — a 26-year-old immigration and human rights attorney from Laredo. In Congress, she’ll fight for a Green New Deal and Medicare for all.

She’s up against Henry Cuellar — an eight-term incumbent who voted to fund Donald Trump’s border wall, holds an ‘A’ rating from the NRA, and spent thousands on TV attacking a Green New Deal.

On Jessica’s side, you have a national progressive movement. She has endorsements from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, alongside powerful labor organizations like the Texas AFL-CIO.

On Cuellar’s side, you have the GEO group, which profits off private prisons and detention centers. He’s also one of the few Democrats who still takes money from Koch Industries. And just last week, a dark money group announced they’d be spending over $720,000 to help reelect him.

Long story short: Jessica is up against some powerful forces. She needs us in her corner to win this fight, and replace a corporate incumbent. Can you take action with Bernie today and donate $3 to help her win?

Cuellar might have the money, but Jessica has the people. Your support will help her power a community-first field program that can bring voters off the sidelines before her primary on March 3rd.

Your donation could be the difference between victory and defeat. Thanks so much for taking action.

In solidarity,


Team AOC
