I have a spare 15 minutes in my schedule today, John. It may not sound like much, but I'm working nonstop to guide New Mexico to a brighter future, so breaks like these are rare.
|
|
With a few minutes of free time on my hands, I want to tell you more about my story and why I am so proud of what my administration has accomplished over the past three years.
|
|
My family has been living in New Mexico for 12 generations, and I have dedicated my career to serving the communities that raised me. After decades of public service, I decided to run for Governor – and with help from people like you, I became the first Democratic Hispanic woman elected as Governor in U.S. history.
|
|
In just the last three years, I'm so proud of what my administration has been able to accomplish:
|
- I safeguarded our reproductive rights as the GOP attempted to enact near-total abortion bans in other states.
|
- I legalized cannabis to take a step toward ending the war on drugs, which has disproportionately harmed Black and brown communities.
|
- I just signed a bill that will provide free higher education to every New Mexico student – opening doors for a generation of young adults.
|
|
I've accomplished all of this and so much more with a massive grassroots team behind me – but to continue passing some of the boldest, most progressive policies in the country, I need your sustained support.
|
|
I wasn't able to raise a single dollar from December through March 9 because of regulations around state legislative sessions. To make up for lost time, I need to raise $150,000 before my end-of-quarter deadline on Thursday.
|
|
I can't defend New Mexico from the GOP without your help, so will you please donate tonight to help me reach my goal before the end of the month?
|
|
Thank you so much for your support,
Michelle Lujan Grisham
