I know my team has sent more emails than usual lately, folks. I hope you’ll give me a few minutes to explain why your split donation today would be so impactful for my reelection campaign and Ben Ray Luján.

My new, multimillionaire challenger has already flooded New Mexico’s U.S. Senate race with half a million of her personal fortune. That’s only the beginning.

She has a long career as a hedge fund executive and is the daughter of the last Republican elected to the U.S. Senate in New Mexico.

My parents weren’t politicians – my dad was a union lineman with the local utility company, and my mom was a seamstress and an automobile tire factory worker.

I was a mechanical engineer before I went into politics, not the former CFO of the largest hedge fund in the world.

I’m not in this fight to prop up Wall Street. I’m running for reelection to continue delivering meaningful change for New Mexico, like protecting reproductive rights, passing more common-sense gun safety legislation and taking action on climate change.

But my Republican challenger already has the support of Mitch McConnell’s allies, who are dead set on flipping New Mexico, taking back the Senate and enacting an extreme agenda.

Will you help my team prepare to face off against a Republican opponent who has already started self-funding her campaign to defeat me? Please split $5 or any amount to my re-election campaign and Ben Ray Luján today to help put us on a path to victory:

Thank you for believing in a future for New Mexico that is as boundless as our skies, as majestic as our mesas and as welcoming as our communities.

– Martin
