This DUer has been working hard for endorsements as I run for NM State Senate

I’m Denise Lang-Browne and I want to be your new voice for New Mexico’s Senate District 33.
I’m the daughter of an Air Force officer, was married to a Vietnam veteran and am most grateful to be a mother and grandmother.
I moved to Otero County over 40 years ago. I received my degree in accounting from NMSU. I worked for a CPA firm in Ruidoso and we audited multiple government entities; I was a staff accountant for the City of Alamogordo; Finance Officer for the Boys & Girls Club of Otero County; Administrative Coordinator for the Otero/Lincoln Behavioral Health Collaborative; and Business Manager of the Alamogordo Cancer Treatment Center.
I’m asking for your vote because this District needs a new voice. We need a voice that will speak fairly for the people of Otero, Lincoln, and Chaves County. Having spoken with many of you, I can say that the people support well-paying job creation in innovative industries. We want to improve the quality of our public schools and we want to protect our public lands. We want our children to be able to find work that pays a living wage so they can remain in our state. We want our law enforcement to be Officers of the Peace, to protect the vulnerable.

Help me be your voice for Senate District 33 and vote Denise Lang-Browne, for New Mexico State Senate District 33.

I’ve loved living here for over 40 years

this year.. you have wonderful accomplishments in your life!

I remember when Bob(Pinboy) was talking about you(his friend) running for office in New Mexico.. way back then.

Best of Luck to you.. I will send what I can!

I miss Bob especially right now. I know he’s with me, supporting me. We live in interesting times! Pinboy was my biggest supporter on DU, so active and vocal in my support. He was committed to coming out here for a few weeks when he got so sick. He is much loved. And much missed by so many of us.

too.. and I can imagine how much you miss him right NowI lost my sister and best friend the day after Christmas and I miss her everyday.

I swear our losses feel harder right now. I’m sorry for your loss and sending you all the Divine Love, Light and cozy comfort I can.

It means so much.. the same backatcha!

I’m low-tech.... and hadn’t realized it

I hope you're the winner in that race! I hope Dems take all the races in New Mexico this year!!

Thank you

As a fellow New Mexican (Bernalillo County) I hope you are successful in your race. We sure do need more Dems from that southern part of the state. I donated to your campaign and am very hopeful that both you and Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small will win your respective races.

We’re trying to turn the red part of our shared state to solid blue.

I went to NMSU as well from '80-'84 BSCS.
Lived in Las Cruces.

Good Luck!

I’m in Otero County... I live outside of Alamogordo in the canyons going toward Cloudcroft.

We may have shared a class or 2.

Good luck.

I don’t post here much, but I do read DU every day. Best of luck on your campaign. I’m considering moving to NM (from NV) and would love to see your district become progressive.

I’d love a DU neighbor!

Small, but should pay for a yard sign etc. ActBlue got a tip too.

Hope you win!

UNM broadcasts sports on 770 KKOB and even advertises for recruiting during the limbaugh show, ads touting their diversity!

that station is strongly connected to the GOP. it regularly gives their candidates and elected republicans and their staffs, as well as rw think tank media hacks, free time, while attacking progressives and their causes. if they were going to pay $1000/hr x 15 hrs/day that's worth about $75,000 FREE to them vs you and other dems.

i hope you or another dem candidates - or all of you - in NM get a community discussion going about the absurdity of UNM supporting and bringing in ad money and even advertising on KKOB while it denies global warming, excuses trump and racism, attacks immigrants, supports the wall, etc., and has been used to enable and cheer on COVID denial and action delay.

that limbaugh radio station, licensed to act in the public interest, followed limbaugh's lead and called covid a hoax for two months and more recently was screaming for the governor to reopen small business - and masks are for sissies. maybe they are covering their ass more now but theres no excuse for UNM to be helping republicans against you and other NM dems by continuing to broadcast sports on KKOB. at the same time, whatever happens, they will blame dem politicians for not doing it right!

and UNM is just one of 87 universities endorsing 260 limbaugh stations

I’m in such a fundamentalist, right-wing County. Did you hear our County Commissioner say, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat?”

are dittoheads to help them factor in rw radio better.

re UNM it's possible that years of pressure around the uni of colorado community to get it to stop broadcasting games on the major limbaugh station in CO might have forced the station to preemptively demote limbaugh to a smaller station to avoid publicity that could draw in the CO pro teams.

good on you for running. it's looking up! counties like yours all over the country like that are going to go 10 pts left when limbaugh dies and they can't replace his policing abilities keeping all the other blowhards repeating the same messaging. the rw radio monopoly is going to fall apart.

I’m a fellow DUer and a New Mexican by choice. I came from California after retiring from Administration services at UC Berkeley. I live in Santa Fe. Good luck!

Without giving personal info away, I noticed the email of a Judith. I’m thinking it’s you. We live in different political worlds. My dearest friend is very involved in the Indivisible Santa Fe Group there.

that’s me.

I'm a Californian that loves Santa Fe and visit once or twice a year... before covid. I've considered retiring there, but worry about the lack of high quality medical care.

I’m never sick so that’s something I don’t know anything about. I am quite happy here. It’s a solid blue state and coming from the Bay Area I appreciate that it’s a small city with the feel of a laid back large town. I adore the cultural and racial mixture here. I worked in UC Berkeley which is a great mixture of international cultures and I grew up in Mexico and am bilingual so Santa Fe is a perfect match for me. I really like that in New Mexico there is an appreciation for history that goes even further back than the normal American history. Santa Fe has been a City and center of a trade route as long as 400 years ago. From before we became the United States.

I feel completely at home here.

I love your state and your governor , even when she shut down Elephant Butte last March where we were blissfully camping. She was ahead of the curve. We were home in Colorado the next week. I miss NM everyday ..

And I’m super grateful for our Governor

Thank you for running!

I can’t vote for you cuz' I’m up north in the high desert north of Santa Fe, but I’m hopeful you can flip this district. Best of luck!

I’m giving it all I can

We need more women up and down the ballot. Women administrators are doing a much better job.

Than I can ever express. DU has been my home, my family for so many years.
Thank you. I’m honored.

go exclusively to you! I am honored to be friends with someone who steps up to the plate. Thank you!

Thank you, Omaha.

Was distracted the other day when you posted, bookmarked it for later, and well, here I am a little late thanks to Omaha Steve, but! nonetheless enthusiastic about your campaign.

Your list of accomplishments is excellent, and I look up to you as a great example of a darn good human being.

I’m quite fond of NM - my favorite neighboring state.

Sending you luck and monthly support from Texas!

I worry about her.

I want her in the state senate. I'm far away in CT but she strikes me as a very fine person.

... and gives me strength. Thank you
