You
are a critical part of this team, so I think it’s only right that you’re
clued in on a small but important detail about our campaign.
Have you ever noticed the Zia sun symbol within our official campaign
logo?
[ [link removed] ]Zia symbolThis sun symbol originated from the Zia Pueblo.
This symbol probably looks familiar to fellow New Mexicans. It’s called
the Zia sun, and can be found on our state flag, on license plates, in the
state Capitol building, and more. It’s an iconic emblem that New Mexicans
are proud of.
[ [link removed] ]The New Mexican FlagOur beautiful state flag is emblazoned with the
iconic Zia sun.
But there’s a deeper meaning behind the Zia sun that I think you should
know. It’s a sacred
symbol to the Indigenous people of Zia Pueblo. To Zia Pueblo, four is a
sacred number that symbolizes the Circle of Life: four winds, four
seasons, four directions, and four sacred obligations. The circle binds
the four elements of four together. We should all learn and respect the
history of the Zia sun as we celebrate its beauty and significance to our
state.
Today, our strong desert sun is just as important to our future as it was
to our Indigenous ancestors. The New Mexico sunshine is the engine behind
our breathtaking natural landscapes, vibrant agricultural economy, and a
source of power for thousands of our homes. It also motivates us to do
more.
We have over 320 days of sun in New Mexico – building an economy around
solar energy is a smart investment that will lower the cost of utilities
and create good-paying union jobs.
[ [link removed] ]Deb with solar panelsWhile I was Secretary of the Interior, our
Administration accelerated solar energy development across the West.
From issues like climate change to education and housing affordability, we
must be bold enough to face tough challenges and fight for a bright future
for all. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and change the game for New
Mexico, but I can’t win this campaign without your help. We’ll need a lot
of resources to organize across our state and speak with voters about our
ambitious plans for the future, so I have to ask:

P.S. My grandmother taught me to wake up every morning, greet the sun, and
say a prayer to welcome that spirit into your life. [ [link removed] ]If you agree we
must embrace the power of our New Mexico sunshine as we build a bright
future for our state, can you chip in $5
so we can win this race?
