I believe every New Mexican deserves to have a voice.

Our state has had 32 governors, yet most of them never had to worry about
the challenges working families are facing right now. That’s why I am
running to lift up the voices and stories of working people.

I’m running to be a voice for struggling families. When raising my child
as a single mom, we relied on food stamps to get on our feet. I sometimes
had to decide between paying rent and buying groceries. I will never
forget how that felt, or the kindness of those who helped us. As someone
who lived through economic hardship, I’m committed to defending programs
like Medicaid and SNAP that provide a lifeline for our communities’ most
vulnerable.

prouder of my Somáh.

I’m running to be a voice for New Mexico’s farmers. I’m a proud descendant
of farmers who’ve been cultivating this land for hundreds of years. The
best memories I have are of my grandpa and me picking worms off ears of
corn in the field below our village. We’d irrigate and hoe weeds against
the towering red mesa of our village of Mesita. I carry those memories
with me as I advocate for the prosperity of our New Mexico farmers and for
policies that support our state’s agricultural economy.

I’m running to be a voice for small business owners. I started my homemade
salsa business when Somáh was two years old. I worked out of a commercial
kitchen and bought my red chile pequin from a farm in northern New Mexico.
When I wasn’t busy cooking, I’d strap Somáh in her car seat and we’d drive
for hours delivering salsa orders to mom-and-pop shops. So when creative,
hardworking New Mexicans want to start a small business like I did, our
government should make it easier – not harder.

for hours delivering jars of salsa in our red GMC van, often with Somáh in
her car seat. Occasionally, we got creative with shoe polish.

For too long, corporate greed and deep-pocketed special interests have
been allowed to drown out our voices. But together, I know we can begin a
new chapter.

New Mexico has never been led by a voice like mine. But with your help, we
can change that together. [ [link removed] ]Will you contribute your very first $5 so we can

Thanks for hearing my story,

Deb

P.S. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and fight for progress as
governor. Not in spite
of challenges I’ve faced in life, but because of them. [ [link removed] ]If you’re with

grassroots campaign for New Mexico.
