Hey folks, it's Brad, Ben Ray's campaign manager.

Since this campaign first began, we've prioritized giving our
grassroots supporters a behind-the-scenes look at how we're
building a campaign that can win and protect our Democratic
majority in New Mexico.

Here's the can't-miss news for October:

FINANCE UPDATE:

WE'RE SETTING FUNDRAISING RECORDS. Last quarter, our campaign
raised more than $1 million, a record amount for New Mexico
Senate candidates in the third quarter of an off-year. 98% of
contributions were $100 or less and not a single dollar came from
corporate PACs. That's what people power looks like!

BUT WE'RE NOT RESTING ON OUR LAURELS. Last quarter, GOP Senate
candidates in New Mexico raised more than $350,000, including
$100,000 in self-funding from a deep-pocketed candidate. On
October 15, The Hill also announced that the Trump campaign is
hiring staff in New Mexico, including seasoned operatives that
know how to win uphill battles.

HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE. Republicans want to make New Mexico a
battleground state in 2020. We're counting on small-dollar
grassroots donations to stop them. You can help us keep New
Mexico blue by pitching in here:

FIELD UPDATE

SIGNATURE COLLECTION IS IN FULL SWING. In New Mexico, Democratic
candidates for Senate must collect thousands of signatures from
voters to appear on the ballot. Starting next weekend and running
through November, our campaign will be operating a
signature-collecting contest with prizes available for top
volunteers. Sign up to volunteer!

OUR PARADE GAME IS ON POINT. On October 5, the Luján campaign
joined supporters in Shiprock for the annual Northern Navajo
Nation Fair Parade. Did you know Ben Ray can juggle?

HELP OUR NEW VIDEO GO VIRAL. Last month, President Trump came
to New Mexico for a divisive rally in which he promised to turn
New Mexico red. Ben Ray joined other Democrats for a unity rally
to show that New Mexico will never flip, and filmed a video about
the values that our campaign stands for. Watch.
