Cueller has long been a target of Justice Democrats for not being progressive enough in a safely blue district, according to NBC News. Specifically, he is backed by the National Rifle Association, wants to defund sanctuary cities and voted to ban federal funding for abortion.

❌ Voted with Trump 69% of the time
❌ Earned ‘A’ Rating from the NRA
❌ Voted to defund reproductive services & sanctuary cities
