The DNC congratulates Deb Haaland on winning the Democratic nomination to be the next governor of New Mexico.
Democratic voters across New Mexico backed candidates like Haaland who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, safeguarding public lands, and fighting for working families. Democrats are fired up to elect Haaland, who will be a governor for every New Mexican.
In response to Haaland's victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
"Deb Haaland is a proven fighter who will stand up for New Mexicans, and we are fired up to elect her. While Trump's extreme agenda has inflicted real pain on families throughout the state, Haaland will fight to bring down the cost of living, expand access to healthcare, keep communities safe, and protect public lands. Ahead of November, the DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters to send Haaland to Santa Fe."
