Thanks to all of you who voted and volunteered in the 2022 general election! Your thousands of calls and door knocks resulted in climate champions winning up and down the New Mexico ticket, and perhaps made the difference in a priority state House race our candidate won by just 30 votes. Across the country, progressive, pro-environment candidates defied the pundits and historical voting patterns, though Democrats will barely lose control of the U.S. House. And Democrats increased their paper-thin Senate majority to 51.

If you live in Albuquerque District 7 or District 9, it’s urgent that you vote! This is a nonpartisan election, but both of the candidates endorsed by the Sierra Club are Democrats running against Republicans. In the last City runoff election, the Republican vote dropped off 18% from the general election vote, while the Democratic vote dropped off 32%. That’s the difference between winning and losing these races. So far, in Rob Grilley’s race, Republicans are outvoting Democrats. 46.7% of the votes have been cast by Republicans, while only 40% have been cast by Democrats.
