Senate Race

This is Democrat-held Senate seat and the Republicans are unlikely to take it. Nevertheless, this election is not just about Donald Trump. So long as Mitch McConnell retains control of the Senate, a President Biden will be able to achieve very little in office. We need to end McConnell’s tyranny of the Senate on November 3rd. So please use your vote to keep this seat blue.

A vote for Ben Ray Lujan is a vote for survival!

House Races

The best we can hope for in 2020 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to get rid of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.

Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!

If you live in US Congressional District 1, you have an opportunity at this election to vote for a new progressive candidate for the House of Representatives, Teresa Fernandez!

New Mexico District 1 – Teresa Fernandez for US Congress

Teresa Fernandez supports the fight for reproductive rights, a Green New Deal, a humane and comprehensive immigration policy, gun safety laws and education for all.
