Hi, John. It's Parker, Gov. Lujan Grisham's finance director. I wish I were reaching out with better news:
Unfortunately, Gov. Lujan Grisham is $20,124 behind on her $150,000 goal before her filing deadline this Monday.
This is a code red for our finance team, John. Last fundraising period, the GOP outraised us by $450,000, and falling short again could cost the Governor her narrow lead in the polls.
If you believe in reproductive freedom, climate action, and free higher education for all, I need you to give right now: Will you PLEASE donate $5 or more to reelect Gov. Lujan Grisham, defeat the GOP, and keep New Mexico blue, John?

John: I know that you're busy, so I'll keep this message short.
We have a long way to go before we reach our $150,000 goal, and my next filing deadline is on Monday – which means my fundraising numbers will soon be public.
Last time around, my GOP opponent outraised me by $450,000 – so I absolutely cannot afford to fall short for the second period in a row. If I do, national Republicans will smell blood in the water and zero in on New Mexico.
That's why I'm asking you to contribute $5 or more before my filing deadline this Monday. I simply cannot keep New Mexico blue without your grassroots donation, so please, will you donate now to help me defeat the GOP?

My GOP opponent doesn't represent New Mexico values. He has called abortion "barbaric," campaigned with far-right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and denied climate science despite his background as a weather man.
Simply put, we cannot hand over New Mexico to this GOP extremist. Losing this race will be a disaster for New Mexicans and Democratic progress across the country – so I'm really counting on your support in this close race.
If I fall short of this big fundraising goal, my extremist opponent could take the lead: Please, will you donate $5 right now to help me win this race and keep New Mexico blue?
