Team,
Just moments ago, the Republican-led House voted to pass the so-called “big, beautiful bill,” sending it to Donald Trump’s desk for his signature into law.
It’s important to me that you know that, if I were still serving in Congress, I’d have voted NO on this disaster of a bill.
This heartless bill cuts vital services like food assistance and Medicaid from low-income families, the elderly, and people with disabilities in order to hand the biggest tax breaks to a handful of unfathomably wealthy individuals. This bill represents everything that’s wrong in Washington. I can assure you there is nothing remotely “beautiful” about it.
This moment is a harsh reminder that out-of-touch politicians in Washington won’t protect New Mexico’s working families – so we must do everything in our power to protect ourselves. That means organizing to protect our friends and neighbors and electing leaders who actually understand our struggles.
Governors will be the first line of defense against the dangerous policies that Trump and his cruel enablers are enacting right now. That’s not a responsibility I take lightly.
It is my solemn promise to you that as governor, I will wake up each day ready to fight fiercely for our communities. My New Mexico roots run 35 generations deep, but this campaign is about more than our past. Together, we can change the game for our state and build a future that uplifts us all.
By passing smart, compassionate state policies here in New Mexico, we can mitigate the harm caused by Trump’s new budget bill – but that can only happen if we win this race first. Will you donate your first $5 to grow our grassroots campaign? Any amount will make a difference.
I’m so grateful to have you on this team. Thank you for fighting with me.
Deb
