Strengthen the Blue
We are working together across New Mexico to support Democratic candidates in competitive state house races — defending and expanding our majority.
Early donations and volunteer time make the biggest difference in state legislative races. These contests are often decided by small margins — your support counts more here than almost anywhere.
Effectively Elected Winners!
These are our candidates who won primaries and are now unopposed in the general election; they are therefore effectively elected to their House or Senate seats. Congratulations to all of them!
Our key races in the NM House
These are our candidates who now face Republican opposition in the November 3 general election. Please support them any way you can.
