Henry Cuellar's FBI entanglements

 

Here’s what we know about Henry Cuellar:

The FBI raided his home and office as part of an investigation led by the DOJ team that handles issues related to bribery, corruption, election crimes, and more. That investigation is related to ties between U.S. businessmen and Azerbaijan.

We separately also know the ties between Cuellar and a dark money anti-abortion group could violate federal election law, according to investigative reporting at The Intercept. A close aide to Cuellar launched the dark money group and is spending money to defeat Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros.

	Henry Cuellar is in a lot of trouble, and this could be more: His longtime aide teamed with abortion ban zealots to launch a dark money group in September that is spending big in the race, likely breaking the law

Jessica is locked in a primary election battle with Cuellar, where Cuellar has millions from corporate PACs and lobbyists. These revelations about Cuellar could push Jessica to victory, but only if we all lift Jessica up at this critical moment. It seems like Cuellar is still planning to run, but Jessica has the momentum. The election is on March 1 and in-person early voting starts in just 24 days.

Can you split a $10 donation to Jessica’s campaign and Justice Democrats today? Every dollar right now helps us capitalize on this moment and add Jessica to the Squad in Congress.

Since the Cuellar news dropped, folks like you helped Justice Democrats raise $17,302 from 545 donations for Jessica’s campaign — that’s an average donation of $31.74 (just a bit over the magic number $27). And Jessica’s campaign raised more than $70,000.

This is how a grassroots campaign can defeat a corporate-backed incumbent like Cuellar. He’s got millions in the bank and ties to the biggest corporate interests in America: Big Oil, private prisons, Wall Street, and more. But we have momentum right now and need to keep it going. It’s the ONLY way we can defeat such a powerful, well-funded incumbent.

Last time, Jessica lost by only 2,746 votes — just 3%. This time, we can seal the deal and elect another fighter for working families to the U.S. House.

Thanks for everything you do for our Justice Democrats slate.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
