Saludos John,

Last night, the DNC wrapped up in Chicago. And I have to tell you, I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of hope right now.

After nearly a decade of fear, extremism and hate thanks to Donald Trump and MAGA extremists like Yvette Herrell, it’s clear that Democrats are ready to usher in a new era for our party and for our democracy — and I’m more grateful than ever to represent New Mexicans in Congress as we work to make that vision a reality.

But the real fight is far from over. After witnessing Democrats’ undeniable momentum this week, I can guarantee you that national Republican groups are going to spend whatever it takes to win critical races like mine. Just this week, Yvette Herrell and the NRCC launched a brand new attack ad filled with lies aimed at tarnishing my character and record.

Believe me when I say that if there was ever a time to donate to my re-election campaign, it’s now.

This is our opportunity to send a message that we’re moving on from MAGA extremism and we won’t let people like Yvette Herrell back into Congress. We’re just getting started, John — will you chip in $10 today?

Right now, the stakes are higher than ever.

New Mexicans can’t afford to risk another term under Yvette Herrell — a MAGA extremist who is more concerned with pushing her anti-choice, anti-democracy and, frankly, anti-America agenda than advocating for the people she’s supposed to represent.

This year’s election is an opportunity for Democrats to come together and expand the progress we have worked so hard to achieve. But with less than 74 days until the polls open, extremist dark money groups are pulling out all the stops to stand in the way of that.

Holding this seat and flipping the House blue is the only way to protect our progress — and that starts right here in NM-02.

Can you spare anything at all to fuel my fight to keep NM-02 blue and retake the House majority in 2024? Any amount helps in a pivotal moment like this one.
