re: SCOTUS and abortion rights

  Before we get into yesterday’s hearing in the Supreme Court, we wanted to say thank you for helping us hit our November goal! With a huge month ahead in the Senate, you’ve given us the resources to hit the ground running, and that work continues right now. Yesterday morning, t…

Tonight's big deadline

  Folks, In just a minute, I will ask you to split a contribution between my re-election campaign and my friend, Senator Ben Ray Luján, to help us protect the Senate majority. But first, I’d like to explain why your support is so important — especially now. You might be surprised…

Our November deadline is approaching

  I’m so proud of this movement that we’ve built. In 2020, voters helped us win our race in New Mexico, take back the White House, flip the Senate, and hold the House. Despite Republican obstruction at every turn, we’ve been able to pass legislation that responds to your concern…

Next week’s deadline

  Team, Ben Ray is working hard to respond to the everyday challenges the people of New Mexico face — like bringing in billions to help fix our roads and bridges, in addition to doing everything he can to protect our Democratic majority in the Senate. But we're facing an end-of-m…

What I’m thankful for today

  Hi there, I know you’re about to sit down with family and friends for Thanksgiving dinner, but before you do, I wanted to share my thoughts on today. In New Mexico, we have a lot to be thankful for — from the sweeping majesty of Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, to the ri…

BREAKING: Build Back Better passes the House!

The infrastructure bill, and what’s next

URGENT POLL: I'm losing by 2 points!

Sunday’s fundraising deadline

Republicans' best shot at picking up a big win in 2021

The mail is too slow. We need action.
