John,
Today, I’m launching my campaign for Governor of the great state of New
Mexico — my home — to bring our state together and build a brighter future
for all who live here.
[ [link removed] ]I'm humbly asking today: will you join me on this journey?
I am here today because my roots in New Mexico run 35 generations deep. My
people lived on this land then, just as we do now. The Pueblo people were
the first farmers in the high deserts of New Mexico.
I am here because of my grandfather, who worked for decades as a diesel
mechanic on the railroad. Somehow he also kept a field — picking worms off
the corn as it grew, like the generations before him.
I am here because of my grandmother, a survivor and a caretaker who woke
up every day before the sun. She was the one who gave me my true love of
cooking New Mexican cuisine. (She wouldn’t let us in the kitchen while she
cooked, but I’d perch myself outside and watch her through the window for
hours.)
I am here because of my parents and their sacrifice. My mother, a Pueblo
woman, served in the Navy. My father, a Marine, received a Silver Star for
his service in Vietnam. He now lies in honor at Arlington.
I am here because of my beloved child, who I raised on my own. I started a
company to pay the bills, but it still wasn’t always enough. We relied on
food stamps to get on our feet. I sometimes had to decide between paying
rent and buying groceries to feed our family. I will never forget how that
felt or the kindness of those who helped us – strangers who became
community. When I look at my Somah, I see perseverance, strength and hope.
These are my stories.
These are the stories of New Mexico.
These days, our differences are blown so far out of proportion. We lose
sight of a simple fact: we all live in the same state, together. All of us
in New Mexico come from love, survival, and sacrifice. We all want to live
good lives — and we want even more for our children.
Our president and his billionaire allies look at the lands and the people
of this country and think: what can I exploit?
I am running to ask: if we come together in New Mexico, what good can we
do for each other and for the next generation?
I’m running for governor because I believe in making life easier for our
families and the future brighter for our children. I believe that all of
the solutions are in front of us, but we must be fierce enough to choose
them. [ [link removed] ]I hope you will join me by endorsing my campaign today.
