Juneteenth Tabling
Voter Registrars Needed
With city elections approaching in November, there is a need to register new voters and re-register voters who have changed their name or address. The Juneteenth weekend is coming up fast and provides a good opportunity to set up a NAACP table and register those who attend events.
Information on event schedules and locations will be determined soon. If you are a trained certified Voter Registrar, and would be willing to help out, please contact Charles Powell (crpowell5@gmail) and provide an idea of your general availability for Friday, June 18 / Saturday, June 19 / Sunday, June 20.
Special Election Win!
Rep. Stansbury’s Landslide Victory – Good News for NM and the US
At the close of the June 1 Special Election, Melanie Stansbury had captured 60 percent of the vote to replace Deb Haaland as our CD1 voice in the US Congress, while her Republican opponent, Mark Moores, had won only 36 percent.
Moores made his campaign almost entirely about crime, and that issue alone wasn’t sufficient to bring him success. His fear-mongering fell flat and Rep. Stansbury carried the day by making clear to voters her support for positive change – including police reform, economic and racial equality, and a $15 minimum wage.
Congratulations to Melanie — and many thanks to all the Bernalillo County Democrats who worked hard for her victory!

Democratic vision,
Democratic values
We stand with Democrats across New Mexico in our belief that every person matters. We believe all citizens should have an equal voice in how we as a people are governed, without undue influence by rich and powerful special interests.
We work for the 99%, and affirm the ties that bind us together as one human family.
These beliefs and many more important principles are presented in the Platform of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, which we fully support.
