New Mexico

 

Support the candidacy of Hispanic Democrats running for state and congressional offices before and during the primary by providing fund raising, campaign management and endorsements. It is national policy not to support any candidate in a primary where two or more are competing but if one non-Hispanic candidate was an established office holder, the probability of electing an Hispanic is lessen; therefore, the National Democratic Party to elect Hispanics to office must make exceptions. There is no better illustration of this than Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico who in 29 years he served as the U.S. Senator from New Mexico never gave a speech advocating Immigration Reform. There may be non-Hispanics who vote for Immigration Reform but just voting for Immigration Reform will not get the job done. Strong advocacy is required and only Hispanic members of Congress will advocate Immigration Reform — not non-Hispanics. Electing a non-Hispanic Senator in New Mexico would be the same as electing another Jeff Bingaman. Does New Mexico want another 29 years of non representation? Hispanics are now the majority in New Mexico and now more than never, New Mexico needs an Hispanic U.S. Senator that will be the driving force to achieve Immigration Reform. Martin Heinrich is a Jeff Bingaman clone. A nice guy but clearly not the answer to represent all the residents of New Mexico.
