John said I could reach out with some exciting news,
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 bright future
for all who live here.
I’m humbly asking: [ [link removed] ]Will you join us as a day-one donor by donating just
$3 or more to my campaign and John Fetterman’s now?

The amount you give doesn’t matter. What matters is building a campaign
with the support of real people. That’s who I am and who I came from.
That’s who I am running to serve.
My roots in New Mexico run 35 generations deep. The Pueblo people were the
first farmers in the high deserts of New Mexico, an agriculture tradition
that still continues today.
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
small business 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 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.
The current president and his billionaire friends 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?
We have our work cut out for us. The cost of living is crushing our
families. Our economy is growing, but we need to make sure everyone shares
in our progress. Our families need more. Our farmers and ranchers need
more. New Mexico’s children need so much more. And we must be good
stewards of the Earth, and preserve the rivers, mesas, farmlands, and
forests whose beauty sustains our communities.
I am running to do all this and more. I am running to serve all New
Mexicans and make sure we’re leaving a better future for our children.

John Fetterman’s? I would be honored to have your support.

Many thanks to John for helping spread the word. I hope you’ll join
us, John!
Be fierce,
Deb
