Friend, I’ve got some important news that I had to share right away: A self-funded GOP opponent just entered the race in New Mexico.

And get this, he’s already pledged to give his campaign $2 MILLION of his own money.

I urgently need your grassroots support to ensure my campaign can compete. So please, will you chip in $5 right now to help me close the gap on my $50,000 goal and win in New Mexico?

I’ll be honest: This is going to be a tough race. It's already clear that the GOP is going to try to buy this race, and unlike my multimillionaire opponent, I can't just write myself a check.

I don’t come from wealth, friend. I have never had the means to self-fund a campaign. I was a single mom living paycheck to paycheck, relying on government programs like SNAP, WIC and Medicaid to help keep my child fed and healthy.

So I know what it's like to struggle — and I also know that it takes a village, in both life and in politics. I strongly believe leaders should make people’s lives easier, not harder. We all want good roads, safe communities, strong education, access to parks and affordable, healthy food to eat.

That's why I’m running to be the next governor of New Mexico, to build a better future for working families. But I need your help to reach my midnight fundraising goal to make that a reality:

I'm running a people-powered campaign that relies on grassroots support from folks like you chipping in $5, $10 or whatever you can spare to help me go up against these self-funded multimillionaires. Please, will you chip in to help me win and keep New Mexico blue?

Thank you, 

Deb
