DNC Chair Jaime Harrison
STATE News:
Leveraging its historic fundraising, the Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday that the New Mexico State Democratic Party will receive new targeted investments to strengthen its coordinated campaign and boost Democratic wins in down-ballot races.
This new funding is part of the DNC’s significant, ongoing investments in state parties since President Biden took office and Jaime Harrison became Chair of the DNC. Under President Biden and Chair Harrison’s leadership, the DNC has increased its yearly investment in state parties by 25 percent and delivered the largest-ever investment in state parties from the DNC cycle to date. On top of previous investments, today’s announced investment in New Mexico is tailored to meet the state party’s unique needs.
New Mexico: The DNC is investing more than $70,000 for organizing staff that will aid in Rep. Gabe Vasquez’s reelection and with Democrats up and down the ballot. In total, the DNC has spent upwards of $428, 000 this cycle thus far in the state.
“The DNC is committed to re-electing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and, as President Biden has made clear since his inauguration, Democrats must also win up and down the ballot and strengthen organizing across all 50 states,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said. “Today’s announced investment in the Democratic Party of New Mexico shows that priority in action. New Mexico Democrats have fought tirelessly to better the lives of New Mexicans and defend against Trump and Republicans’ extreme agenda to rip away Americans’ most fundamental rights. With record-breaking fundraising under President Biden and a winning agenda Americans’ overwhelmingly support, the DNC and Democratic state parties across the country have the momentum to strengthen coordinated operations to deliver wins for Democrats and all New Mexicans.”
“This support from the DNC will enable us to reach more New Mexican voters in tribal communities across our vast state to ensure victory not just for President Biden, but for Democrats running up and down the ballot,” DPNM Executive Director Sean Ward said. “With so much at stake this election, New Mexico Democrats are pulling out all the stops to make sure we build up the statewide operation to energize our base, reach new voters, and turn out the vote in November!”
