Hi John —

My name is Melanie Stansbury, and my friend Adam Schiff asked me to reach out. I’m running to keep Deb Haaland’s seat Blue and represent the people of New Mexico’s First Congressional District.

Our special election is just 8 days away, and Republicans are doing everything they can to flip this seat red. If we do not prevail, it would be disastrous for our Democratic House majority, passing progressive legislation, and for New Mexico’s families.

I’m a born and raised New Mexican. I grew up in the heart of this district, playing along the Rio Grande, and attended public schools K-12. I know the challenges our communities face because I grew up in a working family that often struggled to make ends meet. I am fighting to ensure those in the same situation can live a better life. My experiences working in the U.S. Senate, the White House, and now as a State Representative have prepared me to lead and fight for the issues impacting our families.

I’m running for Congress to be a champion for women’s rights, to fight for our public lands, to ensure no child goes hungry, and to make sure we address the biggest issue of our time: climate change.

But to keep this seat Blue, I need your help. With time running out before the election we need every resource possible to fend off Republican attacks. Will you split a donation to help protect our House Majority?

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

CHIP IN $250 NOW ANOTHER AMOUNT

It would be the honor of my life to serve the people of NM-01, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support.

Melanie Stansbury
Candidate for Congress (NM-01)
