Hi John --

IT’S OFFICIAL: OPEN PRIMARIES ARE NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND IN NEW MEXICO 



New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the bill into law last night <[link removed]> which will take effect in 2026. 330,000 unaffiliated/independent voters will finally have the opportunity to vote in every election in New Mexico. 

Congratulations to the leaders on the ground who made this happen - especially Bob Perls and Sila Avcil and the entire team at New Mexico Open Elections and New Mexico Voters First.

This is a big win for the people of New Mexico and our movement. For the last 10 years we’ve put in the work on the ground–working with local leaders, activists and elected officials, talking to voters and the press, performing countless hours of legal and policy analysis, putting in the real work into helping build and nourish an actual movement of New Mexicans who want to reform their elections. 

And now we have further proof our strategy is a winning strategy. When no one thought we could pass primary reform through a state legislature, we led the successful campaign to pass open primaries in Maine. Now it’s New Mexico. But here’s the hard truth: it’s not easy. It takes years of tough, smart and creative organizing. You have to be willing to invest real time, real expertise and resources for years in order for it to pay off. 

That’s where you come in. 

A win like this comes at a critical moment–as we plan for the growing list of campaigns and organizing we’re able to take on over the next two years we need everyone who supports opening our elections to all voters to step up and invest in our capacity to lead and grow this movement. 

We need to raise $1,000,000 by 4/18. We still have over $500,000 to raise. Can you invest in this movement and make a tax deductible contribution today? The only way we see more wins like New Mexico is if more of us rise to the moment and join in. Can you do that?

Thank you in advance,
