DUer running for State Rep in Republican, fundamentalist county

It has not been easy, but DU has supported me in the best way, giving our campaign here a boost through DU love. Omaha Steve set up an ActBlue account. I know some folks hate this, but is is not set up for repeating contributions...and I'm so new to actually running and I saw both Democratic US Congress critters use Act Blue.
We've knocked on close to 3,000 doors, maybe more.
Please help our campaign. We're down to less than 4 weeks!
Here's my DU contribute page, set up by Omaha Steve

I need some DU love! Come visit me...We'd put you to work before the election, could visit White Sands, Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, 'my' canyon, Fresnal Canyon AFTER the election.

My website: https://electdeniselang.com/

Like me, Elect Denise Lang on facebook!

I'm the one in the color, center of this pic of our NM Emerge class, where I learned so much. We are circling the Seal of New Mexico on floor of the NM Roundhouse, our capitol.
hmmm I'm trying to post a picture from my file. Help, can anyone tell me how to do that? I am practically so low-tech that my kids laugh at me. Here's a link to where Emerge NM uses that photo:

Here is the thing...you never know when you might find yourself moving to
a District like Denise's or a family member moving there.
She is on our side and not afraid to protect the environment and integrity of the
land she lives on.

We are all in this together...we can make a change.

I didn't realize Otero Co. was so red, but I suppose it's not suprising, what with the AFB. Plus, I recall the further S and E you go in NM, the more like Texas it gets!

Sure wish I COULD visit, but I'll just have to visit your website instead.

I wish you the best of luck on your run. You are awesome!

P.S. Am glad Ruidoso got their horses back.

Just a little googling turned up her opponent's awards from ALEC and another Koch-backed RW pro-federalism group. The incumbent GOP state Rep is seeking to turn New Mexico into an anti-union "right to work" state and to turn federal lands over to the state so the gas and oil industry would be freed from federal restrictions.

There is plenty of good reason for Denise's passion on these issues and good reason for supporting candidates like her in these important downballot races.

I'm with her!
