Texas: Rep. Henry Cuellar-Jessica Cisneros Race Is Too Close to Call
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, the race between Democratic Congressmember Henry Cuellar and
progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros is too close to call. The
Democratic establishment lined up behind Cuellar, who is an anti-choice,
pro-gun Democrat whose home was raided by the FBI in January. Cisneros
was endorsed by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and New
York Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She's a supporter of
Medicare for All, the Green New Deal and reproductive rights.
