Dear Lucas,
As reviews continue to come in, the pundits can all agree on one thing: Hector wowed the crowd, beat expectations and, according to Heath Haussamen of NMpolitics.net, "proved he can't be counted out."
But don't just take my word for it.
There was a powerful moment on stage as Hector spoke with courage and conviction about why New Mexicans are frustrated with this economy--and why we need a Senator who will fight for them and stand up to our Republican opponents. Here's what he said:
"The reason I'm in the United States Senate race is that too many New Mexicans today are worried about the future. And what is tragic and what has brought me to this race is that they have lost that hope and optimism and what is great about New Mexico. The people that I'm listening to are out there struggling-- but frustrated when they see Washington tripping all over themselves to give tax breaks to the wealthy while they debate cutting military benefits for families...don't we wonder why no one has been held accountable on Wall Street? Why no one has gone to jail?"
But just like Hector said on Saturday, "there's a better way."
We need to start investing in our people and our communities. As State Auditor, Hector has taken the fight to bad actors, arrogant governments and greedy corporations, and held them accountable--and he's ready to take that fight to Heather Wilson. Now we need your help to make sure more New Mexicans can hear Hector's message.
As Heath Haussamen said today, "This race will tighten before June 5." As we turn a new corner, now more than ever your support is going to make all the difference.Watch Hector's speech and contribute today. By June, you'll be glad you did.
Thank you,
Caroline Buerkle
