DPNM Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement on Democratic Rep. Melanie Stansbury’s victory over Republican Sen. Mark Moores in the race to represent New Mexico’s first congressional district:
“Democrats sent a clear message during this election that we’re not taking anything for granted when it comes to electing leaders who truly represent our values. While the GOP relied on fear mongering and lies, Democrats were building an expansive field program and working to get out the vote. We know the importance of electing strong Democrats like Melanie Stansbury, and we will continue to build on that momentum as we look toward 2022.”
