FROM THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER'S DESK

Hi there,

Eight days ago, our country lost a champion for justice in Ruth
Bader Ginsburg and the stakes of this election became clearer
than ever before

With just over five weeks left in the election, Team Luján is
firing on all cylinders to reach voters and keep this state blue.
Between early voting and vote-by-mail, election day isn't just
one day this year -- it's every day until the polls close.

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.

Keep reading for more information on what our campaign is doing
in these final weeks -- and stay connected with us by following

Mexico's health care workers, and build an even playing field for
New Mexico's families. Check them out:

our first Spanish-language ad of the campaign -- highlights Ben
Ray's personal story of growing up in New Mexico and his
connection to community and land.

focuses on Ben Ray's efforts to support New Mexico's health care
workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

* Decision ( [link removed] )
contrasts Ben Ray's efforts to protect affordable health care
with Mark Ronchetti's pledge to get rid of the Affordable Care
Act, gutting protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

* Head Start ( [link removed] ) shares Ben Ray's personal journey from a Head Start classroom
to the U.S. Congress and highlights his work to increase funding
for education, community colleges, and worker training programs.

* Facts and Science
( [link removed] ) calls out
Mark Ronchetti's dangerous response to COVID-19 and emphasizes a
simple reality of this race: Mark Ronchetti isn't ready to lead.
