HeadlineMar 04, 2020

In Texas, incumbent Democratic Congressmember Henry Cuellar appears to have narrowly defeated Democratic Socialist Jessica Cisneros to hold on to Texas’s 28th Congressional District along the U.S.-Mexico border. Cisneros, who was endorsed by the AFL-CIO and Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, is a supporter of Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. Cuellar is pro-gun, anti-choice, and has backed private prisons, drone surveillance and increased border security.
