Yesterday, pro-NRA Democrat Henry Cuellar voted with Republicans against banning high-capacity gun magazines. This is the conservative Democrat that Nancy Pelosi and other top House Democrats supported against Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros.
Why? Because Pelosi and corporate Democrats would rather protect a conservative pro-NRA incumbent than champion a progressive fighter willing to take on the establishment. That’s the reality, and it’s why we keep fighting so hard to count every vote in TX-28 and prepare for our next primary against the establishment on June 28.
Can you chip in $10 right now to help us fight back? We need every dollar we can get to finish our work in TX-28 and defeat the establishment in our next primary in IL-7.
Pelosi may have made the difference in our fight to defeat Henry Cuellar (he leads by just 280 votes).
She campaigned and donated to Cuellar after he voted against strengthening labor unions. She campaigned for him after his home and campaign office were raided by the FBI. She campaigned for him after he voted against abortion rights and received an award from an extreme anti-abortion group.
The truth is House Democrats don’t care if Cuellar obstructs their agenda — just as long as he’s not a progressive. Justice Democrats threaten the status quo, and that scares Pelosi and corporate Democrats more than an anti-abortion, pro-NRA conservative Democrat.
We can only compete with the resources of the Democratic establishment if a groundswell of our grassroots supporters chip in.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
