FROM THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER'S DESK
Hi there,
July can be a slow month...but not for this campaign!
The last few weeks have been full of big news for our campaign. Here's what you might have missed:
Our new ad! On July 14, we released our first television ad of the cycle. The 30-second spot highlights Ben Ray's story of growing up on a small farm in northern New Mexico with the values of the community and care that shape our campaign

Our biggest fundraising numbers yet! On July 10, our campaign released our fundraising totals from the second quarter of the year (April - June). With $1.5 million raised from people like you (and not a dollar from corporate PACs!) this past fundraising quarter was our strongest yet.
These strong fundraising numbers will make it possible for our campaign to reach more voters and hold important community conversations about what winning this race would mean for New Mexico. Ben Ray would be New Mexico's first Hispanic senator in more than 40 years, and victory here and in other Senate races in the region would lead to a historic Democratic sweep of the southwest.
Ben Ray has been a proven leader for New Mexico, working to advance affordable health care, create good jobs, and build our path to recovery from COVID-19. Electing him to Senate (and flipping the Senate blue in November!) would be a win for New Mexico and the country. New Mexico Voices on COVID-19. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, New Mexicans have shown incredible resilience and community. On July 3, our campaign published "New Mexico Voices on COVID-19," a collection of stories about how New Mexicans are coming together in this difficult time. Take a look >>POLITICAL UPDATE
On July 1, Ben Ray joined Senator Jeff Merkley and End Citizens United president Tiffany Muller for an important conversation about ending the corrupting influence of money in politics. Read more about the conversation and why End Citizens United has endorsed our campaign here.
GRASSROOTS UPDATE
As part of Ben Ray's commitment to reaching voters across New Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic, our campaign recently launched a 33-county virtual road trip around New Mexico. After this weekend, the campaign will have visited 25 counties to date. Reach out to [email protected] or your local county's Democratic leadership for more information on upcoming county stops.

Born and raised on a small farm in Nambé, New Mexico, by a union ironworker and a public school employee, Ben Ray is running for Senate to build a better future for all families.
Ben Ray knows that our communities are stronger when everyone has a fair shot. He’s dedicated his career to creating good-paying jobs for hardworking New Mexicans, expanding health care, and protecting our natural resources.
As the U.S. House Representative from New Mexico's Third District, Ben Ray has worked to pass a people-first agenda that helps all Americans — from lowering prescription drug prices to preventing gun violence, protecting our immigrant communities, improving equity in our criminal justice system, and removing the dark influence of money in politics. He is proud to be endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America, AFSCME, American Nurses Association, League of Conservation Voters, Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, Giffords, Human Rights Campaign, Latino Victory Fund, Congressional Black Caucus PAC, Council for a Livable World, and End Citizens United. Ben Ray doesn’t take a dollar from corporate PACs. Will you pitch in to fund our people-powered movement today?
