From rural communities to the smallest Tribal Nations, I believe every
person in New Mexico should have a voice.

That’s been one of my guiding principles as we build this campaign for
governor, and it’s a lesson I learned long ago, when I first began my
career as a community organizer.

Years before I was first elected to Congress or served as U.S. Secretary
of the Interior, I was an organizer in Indian Country for the reelection
of President Barack Obama. During that time, I traveled to every chapter
of the Navajo Nation. I visited every Pueblo across New Mexico, big and
small. The people I met on the campaign trail were eager to share their
stories and their ideas. But far too often, our leaders don’t make the
effort to engage with underrepresented communities.

We drove so many miles across the state in that little Honda, I thought
the wheels might fall off.

Later on while I was the NM Democratic Party chair, I continued to travel
to every inch of our great state. I made it a point to go deep into
Republican stronghold counties and rural towns to hear directly from
people about their struggles. And here’s the thing: we didn’t argue. We
had powerful conversations that led to common ground. Those moments taught
me that, once you overcome partisanship and division, most of us want the
same things.

A recent campaign stop in Carlsbad, NM.

I believe we can’t only focus our energy on big cities while ignoring the
people on the margins, and that we must be clear-eyed about the fact that
Republicans have been gaining ground in all parts of New Mexico. To win
this race, we have to organize everywhere and leave no voice unheard.
Because nobody wants to feel forgotten.

Organizing statewide in a state as large as
New Mexico is
time-consuming and expensive work, which is why I’m counting on people
like you.

first $5 to our campaign so we can build a
powerful organizing team that can engage with voters in every county in
New Mexico?

Thank you in advance for your support as we keep traveling the state.
Showing up for each other is how we’ll win.

Be fierce,

Deb
