WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON



Dear friends,

Unfortunately, we did not prevail in our bid for Public Regulation Commissioner, district 3. Nonetheless, the campaign was victorious in a number of ways. Our petition drive in June brought together many people from across party lines, and succeeded in gathering over 3300 signatures in a ten day period and 500 qualifying contributions for public financing.

This effort grew into a campaign that worked throughout northern New Mexico during the summer and fall. We distributed over 100,000 cards and flyers to voters around the district, informing people about the importance of a strong regulatory agency that works to keep corporate power in check and the imperative in investing in clean renewable energy.

In the end, the campaign garnered 75,000 votes, about 45% of the total. In Santa Fe and Los Alamos counties, we won with over 60% of the vote.

Rick may not be taking a seat on the PRC, but this campaign was yet another step towards a more democratic New Mexico. Many, many more people are now familiar with the PRC and the role our government is supposed to play in protecting everyday people from the abuses of corporate power that are so rampant in our society.

Whether the issue is making sure that utility corporations are holding up their end of agreements or who should control essential services in our communities, we need to remain vigilant as citizens. Without citizen involvement during and between elections, our government will continue to be a rubber stamp for corporate greed.

Thanks so much for your help and support during this incredibly exciting election season. We look forward to working with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Rick and the campaign team
