“As a fellow elected representative from the South Valley, I’ve worked closely with Eric Griego on numerous legislation to try to improve the lives of families in our community.  Eric is a native son of the South Valley who really understands the needs and aspirations of the community and has always stood up for South Valley residents.  That’s why I proudly endorse his candidacy for U.S. Congress, and I can’t think of a better advocate for our community to represent us in Washington than this fighter’s fighter.”

Sierra Club Endorses Eric Griego Campaign for New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District!

November 1, 2011 by Democracy for N...

The state and national Sierra Club endorsed my campaign for New Mexico’s 1^st Congressional District! I’m especially proud that their endorsement resulted from a unanimous vote from the Sierra Club’s New Mexico Chapter Executive Committee and to be only the second endorsement given so far by the Sierra Club in the 2012 federal election cycle.

The Sierra Club’s endorsement recognizes my strong and consistent record of working to create clean energy jobs and to promote a healthy environment. Taken together with the endorsement by Conservation Voters New Mexico, their support solidifies me as the clear champion for the environment in this race.
