Hey there, it’s Deb Haaland and I’m running for governor of New Mexico. We’re heading into one of the most defining moments of this race yet — so Elizabeth said I could reach out to you.

The final New Mexico fundraising deadline of the year is tonight. After that, every candidate, including me, will be required to publicly report our fundraising totals.

When Washington abandons people, governors are the first line of defense — and we’re seeing that now more than ever.

With a Republican government shutdown, costs rising, rural hospitals on the brink, and thousands at risk of losing coverage — state governments are on the front lines.

New Mexicans deserve a leader who truly understands their struggles and will fight fiercely to protect them. I’m ready to fight and deliver every day for New Mexicans.

My campaign is about lowering costs, making rent and housing affordable, strengthening our schools, and preventing crime so that you feel safe raising a family here. This is the future we all want and deserve for our beautiful state.

I am ready to bring the bold solutions we need. But to build a strong campaign to get the future we deserve, I can’t do it without supporters like you.

Unfortunately, we’re facing a crowded and expensive race. One of my self-funding opponents is already airing TV ads, and Republicans are closely watching our campaign. And right now, we’re racing against the clock to prove we can raise what it takes to win.

With the government shut down and affordability more uncertain than ever, I completely understand if now’s not the right time to make a donation. But if your budget allows for it, can you split a contribution of $28 or anything you can today between Elizabeth Warren and me to help us reach our goal before midnight tonight?
