John,

Before we continue, can we count on you to chip in $10 to help us reach our $8,000 end-of-month goal and keep the pressure on Washington to end this shutdown?

The government shutdown is now entering its second month — and every day it drags on, the impact on families here in New Mexico grows more devastating.

If Speaker Mike Johnson continues to refuse to reopen the House, families could soon lose access to the food they rely on to get through the month.

Head Start programs may be forced to close their doors, leaving children without early education, care, and health screenings.

And without premium assistance, health care costs could skyrocket — with some middle-income households seeing their premiums more than double next year.

All of this hardship is completely avoidable. But instead of coming back to the table and ending the shutdown, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans are choosing to play politics while families suffer.

We can’t afford to sit back and watch, John.

We set an $8,000 end-of-month fundraising deadline on Friday, and we’re counting on grassroots supporters like you to help us keep fighting for the programs New Mexico’s families depend on.

Will you chip in $10 right now to help us reach our end-of-month goal and keep the pressure on Washington to do its job?
