Good morning, friend.

I'm an early riser, always have been. If the sun's up, I'm up, ready to dive into my day. In these early days of 2026, I’ve been sitting with a strong cup of coffee and reflecting—not just on the challenges of the past year, but on how difficult this year has already been.

The beginning of 2026 has brought continued violence, heartbreak, and uncertainty for so many communities, much of it fueled by the Trump administration’s reckless agenda and its deliberate efforts to sow fear and division.

2025 was already a deeply challenging year for countless families. The administration’s economic “policies,” attacks on Medicaid and SNAP benefits, and ongoing threats to basic dignity and safety put so many people in impossible positions—and unfortunately, those harms have only continued into this year.

In moments like these, leadership matters. That’s why I’m ready to step forward and serve as New Mexico’s next governor. At a moment when Washington is turning its back on working families, governors are often the last line of defense, protecting our rights, our healthcare, and our economic security. I’m running to make sure New Mexico has a governor who will always show up and fight for a better, more affordable future for all New Mexican families.

But with everything that's at stake this year, for the future of New Mexico, and with Republicans already gearing up to try and buy this governor seat, I'm asking you to please make a donation to my campaign before midnight tonight. Our $50,000 end-of-month goal is ambitious, but with your help, I know we can get there and give this team the best chance of winning — and delivering for New Mexicans — in November.

Thank you so much for being a part of my team, friend!
