Hi john,

By now you may have heard the news that my colleague and good friend Ben Ray Luján suffered from a stroke recently and has been recovering in the hospital. The good news is that after making significant progress and being discharged to a rehabilitation program, Ben Ray returned to the Senate on Thursday!

Ben Ray let me know that all of the supportive thoughts, well wishes, prayers, and words of encouragement he’s received are giving him strength while he recovers. So I wanted to reach out to see if you could do me a quick favor.

Ben Ray is back at work doing what he loves most: serving the good people of New Mexico.

Will you join me in welcoming Ben Ray back to the Senate? You can sign the welcome back card here:

I’m sure it will mean a lot to Ben Ray to hear from you personally. If you’d like, you can even write him a get well message.

We’re all in this together. Thank you for joining me in supporting Ben Ray during this time.
