I had to reach out to you, John.

There will likely be a fundraising blackout in December, which means we have to raise as much as we can right now to keep New Mexico blue.

I won't lie, this is alarming. If we fail to reach our goals in the next few weeks, we'll start off 2022 behind my Republican challengers, and it will be an uphill battle to stop the GOP from pushing our state further right than ever before.

I need all hands on deck to help me raise $150,000 before the end of this month. I know it's an ambitious goal, but – trust me – this is what it takes to win. Will you donate $5 to stop the GOP, John?

As Governor of New Mexico, I've slashed taxes for working families, raised the minimum wage, legalized cannabis to end the war on drugs, and so much more. But if the GOP flips New Mexico red, they will erase all of our progress and pass dangerous, far-right policies.

Right next door in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott signed a near-total ban on abortion. State governments are the first line of defense against extremist policies like these, which is why it's so important to keep New Mexico blue to defend our personal freedoms.

Please, if you have even a few dollars to spare, I need you to donate today to help me reach my $150,000 goal and keep New Mexico blue. I'm doing everything I can to pass my bold, progressive agenda – but I can't continue my work without your help:

Will you donate $5 today to help me continue to push New Mexico toward a brighter future? In times like these, we can't afford to lose our momentum. I need every supporter reading this email to help me stand up against the GOP by donating today.

Thanks for your commitment to my progressive vision for New Mexico. I couldn't be more grateful for supporters like you.
