This Memorial Day
This Memorial Day is a little different than most. Today, as we recognize our service women and men, we also recognize our frontliners - the countless firefighters, nurses, doctors, and others - who have sacrificed everything to protect us.
Each day, our emergency workers put themselves at risk of coming in contact with COVID-19 without proper protection. We've lost too many of these selfless workers.
Those bold enough to serve leave a lasting legacy. Linda’s grandfather served in World War II and earned his citizenship, ensuring her entire family would be Americans. More than 70 years later, her family remembers how he shaped our futures.
Today, we'll be thinking of all the families - military and frontline - and honoring their loved ones' legacies.

NEW Endorsements!
Our community deserves bold ideas that help working families thrive. And now, three more groups agree: Linda Serrato will be the BEST leader for House District 45.
The Santa Fe Reporter, Working Families Party, and Adelante all endorsed Linda Serrato with ProgressNowNM calling Linda a "Progressive Champion!"
We need bold solutions to confront this pandemic and put our working families first in recovery.
It's time for a compassionate leader, ready to stand with us and demand corporations pay their fair share.
There's only 17 days until this election.
She'll stand for us.
Let's stand together for Linda.

Even more exciting, this week, OLÉ endorsed our campaign for House District 45! I'm proud to have the support of these working New Mexicans fighting for a better future for our families.
Finally, I just wanted to say thanks for all of the support and kindness you've shared during this race. We're living through tough times. No one expected to be home schoolers, mask makers, or expert hand washers.
Through it all, Santa Fe has been an example for the nation. We're social distancing, helping each other and voting by mail. Thank you for caring about our community and each other.
Now it's time for those values to be the bedrock on which we build our recovery. We must have compassionate leaders who will protect working class families and demand corporations pay their fair share. Our communities deserves bold ideas that will protect our future.
If you share these values then I hope Linda can earn your vote.
How far we’ve come
I can’t believe how far we’ve come. This campaign started as a long shot with a strong belief that community members in House District 45 deserved a bold voice on behalf of seniors and working families.
Since then, we’ve knocked hundreds of doors, collected more signatures than any of our opponents, received donations from more New Mexicans than all of our opponents combined, and have support from diverse communities including:
- American Federation of Teachers New Mexico
- Planned Parenthood Votes New Mexico
- Sierra Club: Rio Grande Chapter
- Conservation Voters New Mexico
- New Mexico Youth Climate Strike
- Animal Protection Voters
Linda is ready to stand for our families in the Roundhouse. Let’s keep it up and work all the way through Election Day, Tuesday, June 2nd.
Conservation Voters NM, American Federation of Teachers - NM, and Animal Protection Voters NM
Our momentum is growing!
Linda found out she got THREE BIG endorsements this week:
We’re proud to add these to Linda’s endorsements from Planned Parenthood Votes New Mexico, Sierra Club: Rio Grande Chapter, and the New Mexico Youth Climate Strike!
Especially now, when we’re unable to connect with each other in person, having the support of our teachers, reproductive rights activists, environmentalists, and animal allies means a lot to Linda.
But let me be clear: this is a tight race. Our opponents aren’t slowing down. We can’t just sit back and wait. Our values are on the line.
