New Mexico's Future Leaders is dedicated to electing young, progressive Democrats to state and local office. As I've learned, running for office can be an immense undertaking, so it's the least we can do to make it a little easier.  My race is over, but I could not look at myself in the mirror every day if I did not, in turn, support other candidates.  There are many brilliant young democrats who, like me, see the need for something to change in the way we run our country, and I am dedicating myself to getting them elected. This election is too important to sit on the sidelines—now is the time to elect young progressive Democrats who will bring real change to our state and our country!

Our nation has fallen on hard times: families are losing their homes as the federal government is forced to bail out the mortgage industry, our foreign policy of arrogance and preemption has isolated us from the rest of the world, and our over dependence on oil and gas threatens to bring our economy to a halt.  We need elected officials who support long term solutions, not temporary quick fixes             

I am asking you to stand with me and help insure the future of our state and our country by helping to elect young candidates, not political insiders.  Candidates who make policy with the future in mind because they have to live with the long term consequences of their actions.  It's time to empower a new generation of leaders for New Mexico!

You can help in this task—I need your help to elect young democratic candidates at all levels of New Mexico's government.  Your generous contribution  will go a long way in reaching our $30,000 goal to give to democratic candidates under 35 this year.  We can't wait any longer to put our country on the right course again.
