Victories in New Mexico

Yesterday marked two primary victories for candidates endorsed by LCV. Ben Ray Lujan won the Democratic nomination for Congress in the 3rd District, and Martin Heinrich won in the 1st District.

These two environmental champions will carry on to the general election on November 4th where they will face off against their GOP opponents.

Both candidates ran strong campaigns and LCV was happy to help by supplying them with resources to support their messages and drive them to victories. Thanks to 25,000 phone calls made by LCV, signs displaying Environmentalists for Lujan, newspaper and internet advertisements, we were able to reach Democratic primary voters and encourage their votes in New Mexico.

For more information and quotes from President Gene Karpinski, see the press release issued this morning by LCV, congratulating our two congressional nominees.
