.JCisnerosTX, 26, is running for Congress in Texas’s 28th district—no matter what walls stand in her way
In the first week since we launched our campaign, there's been an overwhelming outpouring of support. We headed down to the valley, and community members were, first of all, very surprised that somebody that's running for Congress was asking them what they thought the problems and the solutions were. They were also talking about their basic needs, and needing health care but not having access to it. That's why Medicare for All is so important out here.
MTV News: What message would you have for people who are still discounting the youth vote, and the growing number of young people who are running for office?They have to take us seriously. For me, there's so many factors that people try to use to discount me, or just not take me seriously. One of them is how young I am, and the other is that I'm a woman, and a brown woman at that. I feel like some people find it very easy to dismiss me, but they definitely shouldn't.
MTV News: Social media is already proving to be a big part of your campaign, and you just released a campaign playlist. What went into the songs you chose?“Old Town Road” came out when I was considering whether I should run or not, and I just kept thinking about, that’s Texas, right? Just going out into that old town road, and trying to get out the vote. It's such a catchy song.
