Earlier in the night, Cisneros expressed optimism about her performance against the powerful incumbent. In January, the FBI raided Cuellar’s home and campaign office, but released almost no details about why the bureau targeted the representative.

Cisneros challenged Cuellar on several fronts, including on his abortion and health care stances. She charged that the nine-term incumbent was too conservative for the district, and she benefited from the support of a national donor network. She also benefited from the endorsements of U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and from the influential group that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, EMILY’s List.
