CWA members and allies in Texas have been mobilizing to build support
and turn out the vote for CWA-endorsed pro-worker candidates for the
Texas primary elections, which were held on Tuesday.

In a large, sweeping victory, pro-worker Austin city council member
Greg Casar won his race for Congressional District 35. Casar has
raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour and authored the paid sick day
law in Austin. He will continue to be a champion for workers' rights
in Washington.

CWA-endorsed candidate Jessica Cisneros forced Rep. Henry Cuellar
(D-Texas) into a run-off election in Congressional District 28 that is
scheduled for May 24. CWA members are leading the push to hold
Cuellar, a long-time, anti-worker Congressman who was the only
Democrat to vote against the PRO Act, accountable. Cisneros is a
proven workers' rights champion, and CWAers in Texas will continue to
support her until she successfully defeats Cuellar.

CWA-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke won the Democratic
nomination for Governor. The weekend prior to the election, CWA, SEIU,
and Workers United joined together to host a phone bank for O'Rourke
at CWA Local 6222 in Houston. Over 60 people participated in the phone
bank including O'Rourke himself, who spoke to the workers about the
importance of having the backing of the labor movement and how working
Texans are a priority for his campaign and the future of Texas.
