Two Democrats voted against marijuana decriminalization. One of them is also anti-choice, pro-Big Oil, and pro-NRA. We can take him down in next month's runoff election. Here's how:

Friend, fun fact, only [8% of Americans]( think that marijuana should be completely illegal. When House Democrats voted overwhelmingly in support of The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, which would end the federal prohibition and criminalization of marijuana, there were two Democrats that decided to side with that 8%. No one should be surprised that Rep. Henry Cueller was one of them Cueller is out of step with the Democratic Party and out of touch with his own district on a whole lot more than this, too: - He’s received major support from the [private prison industry](, [defense contractors](, [the Koch network](, and [anti-choice dark money groups](. - His shilling for the energy industry, including repeated votes to gut environmental regulations, [has earned him the nickname]( “Big Oil’s favorite Democrat.” - He holds [an A rating from the NRA]( and has [refused to give back]( the $29,000 the group has donated to him over the years. - He endorsed George W. Bush’s presidential campaign and [fundraised for]( a vulnerable Republican colleague when Democrats sought to take back the House in 2018. - He [voted with Trump]( 69% of the time during Trump’s first two years in office, [including twice]( to build his absurd wall—which would run through Cuellar’s own district on the Southern border with Mexico. Daily Kos-endorsed candidate Jessica Cisneros is a far better choice, and she has a shot to take Cuellar down in next month's runoff election. She’s a human rights attorney and daughter of working-class immigrants from Mexico who will fight for a pathway to citizenship, universal health care, an assault weapons ban, expanding Social Security, and protecting reproductive rights. She’ll be the voice the people of South Texas so badly need—a far cry from Cuellar, whose career has been devoted to protecting the interests of the extremely wealthy. [It's not enough to elect more Democrats, we need to elect better Democrats–Jessica Cisneros is a better Democrat.
