Just four days ago, House Republicans purged Liz Cheney from their leadership for refusing to go along with Donald Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election. Their strategy going forward is clear: embrace Trump and his lies, no matter what the cost, and use him to win elections.

Now, Republicans are putting that strategy to the test and have their sights set on flipping Secretary Deb Haaland’s congressional seat (NM-01) on June 1st. We just can’t let that happen.

Fending off this Republican attack on our majority is Melanie Stansbury – a Democratic leader who will fight for both our democracy and progressive change.

But the race is tightening. And with less than three weeks to go until Election Day the GOP is deploying their usual strategy: funneling lies and massive sums of money into the race to win.

This is the first big test for House Democrats in 2021. We cannot let Republicans flip this seat. If you are able, will you rush a donation right now to support Melanie’s campaign and protect our 6-seat House majority?

This moment is critical, and I know Melanie is up to the task. Here’s why: She was born and raised in New Mexico, spending her whole life in the community she seeks to represent. Growing up her family struggled to make ends meet. But like many families across our country, grit, determination, resilience, and heart helped her get by. She became a scientist and educator, working on water and lands matters, just like Secretary Haaland.

As a New Mexico state representative, Melanie has fought to address the issues that have directly impacted her community: affordable food, clean water, shelter, economic security and justice, and climate change.

Melanie has been a champion for all New Mexicans — and with our help, she and I will continue this important work together in the halls of Congress.

With just weeks before Election Day it’s critical we hold on to Secretary Deb Haaland’s seat and fend off this first GOP attack on our majority. If you are able, will you rush a donation of $10, $25 or whatever you can afford right now?

This is an important test, and can set the tone for the rest of the cycle. I can’t thank you enough for supporting Melanie and defending our Democratic House majority.
