DU supported my State Rep campaign in a fundamentalist, Repub county

I have trouble expressing my gratitude to DUer's because they supported my campaign in contributions and in 'cheerleader' support...especially pinboy3niner and OmahaSteve.

While I lost this race, I intend to run again. Not one Democrat has been elected in 22 years (or is it 24 now? I'm too tired to check!!) I am spearheading for other Dems to run...AND other DUers to run, please. Leave the electronics and RUN (if our nation still has elections in 2 years.) After the dust cleared, running was like a fountain of youth; I'm 65 right now. Join your local Democratic Party. Get your name on the ballot

DU's support was wildly inspiring and motivating. I love DU and missed you all so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you a million times.

Any DU love for me, running against an ALEC 'Star' in Otero County?

I'm running for NM State Representative against a Republican who has been in office since 2010. We have not had any Democrat elected to any partisan office in over 20 years. She was named an ALEC 'Star Representative'....thus, she is well funded and I have to be ready to respond with fierce opposition. I can't do that without funding for my campaign.

I'd love to see some DU support. I've been a member of DU since July 2003.

One can send a check made out to Committee to Elect Denise Lang to 2332 Union Ave Alamogordo, NM 88337 or donate through Act Blue via my website, ElectDeniseLang.com. Please 'Like' my campaign on Facebook, Elect Denise Lang.

I had my campaign launch and Primary Watch party on Tues....great turnout. Any Otero County DU'ers out there?

We've already walked the majority of one precinct, only 20 more to go!! We have doubled those who walk now and got many new volunteers on Tuesday.

As Thom Hartman said, "Tag, I'm IT."

About duhneece

I'm running for New Mexico State Senate District #33. I ran for NM State Representative 4 years ago and feel more of a need to run, to pick up votes up and down ballot for Democrats in my state and at the national level. My DU family provided much support 4 years ago (much with the help of our beloved Pinboy3niner) and I know I can count on support now. We're in this together. I have received the endorsements/support of Planned Parenthoood Votes New Mexico; AFSCME American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees; NEA National Education Association of New Mexico; AFT-NM American Federation of Teachers New Mexico; Sierra Club; and named a Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action. I was concerned in my interviews as I shared that I was running a Combined Campaign to elect Democrats up and down ballot, that I would not provide only my campaign information but always include information for (especially, because she is in a very tight race) US Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small, President Biden and all the local state senate, state representatives, county clerk, treasurer and commissioner. I worked hard to get a full ballot of Democrats, first time in over 25 years. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/committee-to-elect-denise-lang-browne-1
