John, we know things feel overwhelming right now, so we’ll keep this short.

If you didn’t see Gabe’s email, here’s the TL;DR: what Republicans are doing is dangerous, and it’s exactly why this race matters so much.

Winning this seat isn’t just about keeping one district on the board. It could be the tipping point for flipping the House in 2026 — and finally stopping the cruelty coming out of Washington.

But we’re up against a flood of dark money and outside attacks. We have to fight back, and we have to do it together.

Will you chip in $10 to help us hit our $6,000 mid-month fundraising goal and defend this seat?

Earlier this month, Congressional Republicans pushed through a bill that honestly feels like something out of a bad dream.

I’ve spent a lot of time across southern New Mexico sitting down with families who rely on Medicaid to get to the doctor or use SNAP to make sure their kids don’t go to bed hungry.

These programs aren’t a waste — they’re essentials. They’re what help people stay healthy, put food on the table, and work toward something better.

But this new bill? It slashes those programs. It guts Medicaid. It cuts food assistance. And it does it knowing full well the harm it will cause.

Why? So they can hand out even more tax breaks to billionaires and special interests.

Think of it like a reverse Robin Hood — taking from the people who have the least and giving it to those who already have the most.

It’s cruel and it’s wrong. And I’m going to keep fighting like hell against it. But here’s the truth: I can’t do it alone.

This district could be the deciding seat in the fight to flip the House. If we win here, we can finally start holding Donald Trump and his enablers accountable. And Republicans know it. That’s why they’re already flooding this race with dark money and doing whatever it takes to try to buy this seat.

I love New Mexico. I love our people. I see how hard folks here work every single day to care for their families, their neighbors, and their future. We deserve better than what this bill will do to us.

If you’re able, will you chip in $10 today to help us reach our $6,000 mid-month fundraising goal — so we can win this race, flip the House in 2026 and keep fighting for the people of southern New Mexico?

We’re in this together — and I truly believe that if we keep showing up for each other, we’re going to get through this.
