Received this e-mail today from former Governor Terry McAuliffe (D. VA) in support of Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D. NM) gubernatorial campaign:
Democratic leadership works. I saw this in my own state of Virginia – after four years of failed Republican leadership, we were able to strengthen the economy, restore critical human rights and improve the education system. I believe New Mexico has this same opportunity now – which is why it's time to end the era of Gov. Susana Martinez's failed leadership and elect Michelle Lujan Grisham as your Democratic Governor.
|
Electing Michelle isn't only important for New Mexico, but for all of us. Turning New Mexico blue is the first step in stopping Trump nationwide. But a new poll shows Michelle and her Tea Party opponent in a statistical tie, and unless we all support her now, Michelle could lose.
|
We need to raise $11,219 more for Michelle before her next major fundraising deadline, and she's counting on this grassroots team to help her hit this goal. We're all counting on you: Will you donate $5 or more to elect a Democratic Governor and turn New Mexico blue?
|
Michelle does not give up, she does not back down and she is completely ready to lead New Mexico to a brighter, more prosperous future. As a former Governor myself, I know Michelle has what it takes to achieve that goal.
|
From creating a green economy, to creating jobs, to defending women's rights and immigrants' rights, to ending the NRA's grip on politics, Michelle's agenda is the agenda we all need.
But Michelle's opponent has more money in the bank to use against her, and with Trump's "full support," he could pull ahead. It's on us to keep that dangerous possibility from becoming catastrophic reality.
|
Unless grassroots supporters like you give now, Michelle will not be able to hit her goal before her public filing deadline and win. Will you donate right now to help elect Michelle and turn New Mexico blue?
|
Thank you,
Terry McAuliffe
VA Governor, 2014-2018
