Today, Rep. Gail Chasey (D-Bernalillo 18) released a statement announcing her endorsement of Michelle Lujan Grisham for Congress in New Mexico's First District:
"As State Representative of New Mexico's 18th district since 1996, I worked alongside Michelle Lujan Grisham as she fought tirelessly to extend health care to those who needed it most. Not only was Michelle an early and vocal supporter of the repeal of the death penalty, she has inspired me and other lawmakers to improve the economic future for New Mexico. I cannot imagine a better person than Michelle Lujan Grisham to fight for us and represent New Mexico families in Congress.
