Hello —

In a few moments, I am going to ask you to help us reach our end-of-month fundraising goal by making a contribution of any amount today. Please give me a chance to explain why this request matters so much.

I was born and raised on a small family farm in Nambé, New Mexico. My father was a union ironworker and my mother a public school employee. They instilled in me the values of hard work and community service from a young age.

That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to improving the lives of New Mexicans through public service — fighting to create good-paying jobs, increasing access to quality, affordable health care, and protecting our state’s natural resources and treasured public lands.

As chair of the House Democrats’ campaign arm, I led the effort to win back the House in 2018 by electing the most diverse and youngest Congress in history. Together, we worked to lower prescription drug prices, reduce health care costs, fight for clean air and water, restore voting rights and equal rights, and build a brighter future for our kids.

Then last year, we won our competitive Senate race right here in New Mexico and took back the majority. Exceeding everyone’s expectations and finally putting an end to Mitch McConnell’s grip on power.

Thanks to your courage and actions, Democrats hold the majority in Washington for the first time in about a decade.

Now, 2021 is a year of opportunity. We have a real chance to make a difference in people’s lives. All we have to do is stay focused on the hard work in front of us. So, here comes the part where I ask for your support:

With so many tough fights ahead, can I count on you to make a donation of $3 or more before our end-of-month deadline? Anything you can give will allow me to stay focused on doing my job and protecting our fragile Senate majority, not fundraising. You can donate right here:

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

A lot of campaigns and politicians waste your money when you contribute to these kinds of messages. I see it happen all the time. But I want you to know that when you give to our campaign we put that money to good use — fighting to protect our hard-won Senate majority and getting to work on the issues that matter most to the American people.

When we work together, we win together. Let’s keep it going!

Con gratitud,

Ben Ray
