This year, we will walk in the footsteps of Secretary Chacón and Representative Lusk by fighting to keep Democratic women in office. We will re-elect Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, US Representatives Teresa Leger Fernandez and Melanie Stansbury, Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard.
In 2022, the Democratic Party of New Mexico is working to elect strong Democratic women up-and-down the ticket. Will you please join us in honoring New Mexico Women’s History AND in fighting for New Mexico’s future by donating $50 or $100 today?
