This is the problem the Democratic Party has w Latinos in South TX.
It’s not about policy/messaging. It’s about lack of investment! We’re tired of getting the short end of the stick.
Instead $ is poured into TX28 to mitigate the electability issue Cuellar has since the FBI raid
.@MichelleVforTX’s background is a quintessential South Texas story. It’s powerful and has inspired a new electorate to get involved in politics because she gives them something to vote for.
This is the kind of energy we should be embracing, not abandoning.

ICYMI: @RepCuellar tells @Bloomberglaw the reason he doesn’t stand with the unions of our district is because… they don’t want him to?
That makes no sense.👀
The fact of the matter is that Cuellar has failed our workers and now they’re fighting back.

We need to pass laws at the national level that make it easier for workers to organize & bargain collectively.
Cuellar thinks the PRO Act is too progressive for South Texas, but our unions, communities & I disagree. (In fact, so do 214 of his Democratic colleagues in the House.)

The @WaPo published this piece on predatory payday lenders and how they're funding Trump and some top Republicans.
You know who else they're funding? Trump's favorite Democrat, Henry Cuellar.
A THREAD👇🏾👇🏾 washingtonpost.com/business/2019/… 1/6
Payday lenders often prey on the most vulnerable members of our communities. I know many folks in #TX28 rely on them & I live across the st from 1.
High poverty rates in TX make our "poorest citizens ripe targets for payday lending abuses" (@dallasnews). It's heartbreaking. 2/6
