"The people of New Mexico are excited about getting our country back on track," Luján said. "I am thankful for all of their support whether it is in contributions, making phone calls, knocking on doors or attending events."

"The people of New Mexico want to get our country back on track, and that's reflected in our large fundraising advantage," said Mark Nicastre, Luján's Communications Director. "Ben Ray Luján will stand up for the people of New Mexico by fighting for energy solutions for New Mexico's working families, an economy that works for the middle class, an end to the war in Iraq and health care for all Americans."
