FROM THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER'S DESK

Hi there,

We're in the most exciting period of the campaign -- can you feel
the energy in the air?

With just 76 days until Election Day, our campaign is working
hard to mobilize voters across New Mexico. This will be a
historic election, with the opportunity to elect the first
Hispanic senator from New Mexico in more than 40 years, send the
first all-woman of color delegation to Congress, and undo the
damage of the last four years by winning back the White House.

There's a lot at stake -- and New Mexicans feel the urgency.
Since our field program started, volunteers and team members have
made 47,733 calls and sent 47,442 texts, and many supporters have
downloaded the Reach app to safely canvass their friends and
neighbors during this time of social distancing.

If you want to get involved, now is the time -- and there are
opportunities for every skill set! Reach out to
[email protected] ( [email protected] ) to start
volunteering and help us elect New Mexico Democrats up and down
the ballot.

You can also help by sharing our new television ads on social
media! Over the last few weeks, we've launched three (!!) new
ads, each with a special message about Ben Ray's fight for New
Mexico. Check them out below:

* Dad ( [link removed] )
shares a deeply personal health care story about Ben Ray's
father, who passed away from cancer in 2012. Ben Ray's father was
lucky to have insurance, but his battle with cancer is at the
heart of our campaign's fight for a better health care system.

* Lifeline ( [link removed] )
focuses on Ben Ray's work to help one of New Mexico's most
beloved restaurants - Santa Fe Bite - secure a PPP loan and stay
afloat during COVID-19.

* Voices ( [link removed] )
highlights Ben Ray's deep ties to New Mexico and the priorities
that he will focus on in the U.S. Senate.

Help us keep these ads on the air by pitching in to help us buy
airtime

and reach voters across New Mexico!
