Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of the most conservative Hispanic Democrats, has represented his district for 15 years. But Jessica Cisneros, a 26-year-old immigration attorney and his former intern, is presenting a fierce challenge from the left.
Cuellar, one of the most conservative Hispanic Democrats, has represented a district that stretches from San Antonio to Laredo along the US-Mexico border for 15 years and now serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee. But Cisneros, his former intern, has presented a fierce challenge from the left, supporting"Medicare for All" and a"Green New Deal," and reportedly outraising Cuellar in the first six weeks of 2020.
"He voted to impeach the guy for Christ's sake." The video released Thursday also describes Cisneros' background and affinity for her border town community, noting her parents, a truck-driver father and a homemaker mother, came from Mexico. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a conservative Democrat from Texas, walks away after speaking with reporters on Capitol Hill in June 2019.
