Hi there,

One year ago today, I launched my campaign to be the next U.S. senator from the great state of New Mexico, beginning an incredible journey.

Since this time last year, the world has changed a great deal. But the values and ideals our campaign is fighting for — from a better health care system to a stronger future for our kids — have stayed constant.

Last month, I joined a gathering of New Mexico Democrats to accept their nomination for U.S. Senate and speak about the moment we face in history. I hope you’ll take a minute to watch the video and share it with your friends and family.

Over the last year, our campaign has received an outpouring of support from across New Mexico. I’m deeply grateful for the volunteers, community leaders, and everyday New Mexicans who have stepped up and joined our campaign.

We’re building a grassroots army — and we need it. Last month, President Trump doubled-down on his pledge to flip my state red. His campaign investments could trigger an avalanche of dark money in my race and put Democratic chances of winning back the Senate in danger.

But I know New Mexico. And I know that if we work together, we’ll win together.

We’re fighting for the things that matter, and the people are on our side.

There are 216 days until election day. Let’s win this thing.

All my best,

Ben Ray
