Like so many New Mexicans, I’ve faced challenges.
I helped pay for my child’s preschool by volunteering at the school for discounted tuition. I relied on food stamps to put food on the table and Planned Parenthood for essential care.
But like so many New Mexicans, struggle made me fierce.
I raised my child as a single parent. I have achieved three decades of sobriety. I built a career in public service and delivered for New Mexicans, first in Congress, then as Secretary of the Interior.
This is what I know: Regardless of the obstacles standing in our way, we can overcome any challenge or accomplish any goal if we stand together and look out for each other.
We all have a stake in our future – and it’s up to us to keep fighting for it together.
Be fierce,
Deb
