A left-leaning activist group is targeting South Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar in the 2020 elections.
A Washington Post story cited by The Texas Tribune says the group Justice Democrats has offered to throw its support behind a candidate with a progressive agenda who wants to challenge Cuellar. The 7-term congressman from Laredo is a self-described “blue dog” Democrat who has built a career on forging a middle ground and who touts a moderate voting record.
Justice Democrats gained notoriety for campaigning to help Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez from New York get elected to Congress last year.
