Good morning, friend! ☀️

I'm an early riser, always have been. If the sun's up, I'm up, ready to dive into my day. In these beginning days of 2026, I'm reflecting on the past year and the big year we have ahead over a strong cup of coffee, and I thought I'd send you a quick note.

I know 2025 was a challenging year for so many of us. The Trump administration's economic "policies," attacks on Medicaid and SNAP benefits, and dangerous agenda have put so many families in an incredibly tough spot.

That’s one of the many reasons I was inspired to launch this campaign. At a moment when Washington is turning its back on working families, governors are often the last line of defense, protecting our rights, our healthcare, and our economic security. I’m running to make sure New Mexico has a governor who will always show up and fight for a better, more affordable future for all New Mexican families.

I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished, from the fruitful conversations I've had with people in every county across the state, to the thousands of grassroots donors who have chipped in to power our movement.

But with everything that's at stake this year and for the future of New Mexico, and with Republicans already gearing up to try and buy this governor seat, I'm asking you to please make your donation to my campaign before midnight tonight. Our $50,000 January goal is ambitious, but with your help, I know we can get there and give this team the best chance of winning — and delivering for New Mexicans — in 2026.

Thank you so much for being a part of my team — and I hope that you are having a great start to your year, friend!
