I intend to run against ALEC Legislative Star and want lots of DU + help

On March 3, I will file to run for State Rep District #51 against Yvette Herrell, who is being groomed to be our next US Congress critter.
I am a low tech (have never texted or used a smart phone) person, and there has not been a Democrat elected in any office in our county in over 25 years...so I'm not expected to win, but I can raise issues. I am on Social Security, food stamps, LIHEAP and Medicare/Medicaid...but I have been named a Woman of Merit and put into a book Legends of Alamogordo for my activism (pro-choice: and I've posted pictures of our 'We Trust Women Commemoration & Celebration of Roe V Wade' on DU, anti-drug war and pro-tax, regulate, legalize cannabis, Co-Producer of Vagina Monologues, have taken books to our jail & half-way houses since 2007, have been NAACP Treasurer (I'm 65, white) on DU, etc.

I am clueless, but too pissed to allow this destructive, but nice (!) woman to run unopposed. HELP! I am already in over my head. I asked for help with a logo from a friend's son...how can I help DU help me?

About duhneece

I'm running for New Mexico State Senate District #33. I ran for NM State Representative 4 years ago and feel more of a need to run, to pick up votes up and down ballot for Democrats in my state and at the national level. My DU family provided much support 4 years ago (much with the help of our beloved Pinboy3niner) and I know I can count on support now. We're in this together. I have received the endorsements/support of Planned Parenthoood Votes New Mexico; AFSCME American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees; NEA National Education Association of New Mexico; AFT-NM American Federation of Teachers New Mexico; Sierra Club; and named a Gun Sense Candidate by Moms Demand Action. I was concerned in my interviews as I shared that I was running a Combined Campaign to elect Democrats up and down ballot, that I would not provide only my campaign information but always include information for (especially, because she is in a very tight race) US Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small, President Biden and all the local state senate, state representatives, county clerk, treasurer and commissioner. I worked hard to get a full ballot of Democrats, first time in over 25 years. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/committee-to-elect-denise-lang-browne-1
