Our Democratic candidates didn't win in our very red county but, again, we had a (mostly) full ticket. We know we can't win if we don't run.

I've made it my mission to run when I can, recruit and work for our candidates, up and down ballot.

I was electioneering yesterday and Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin tried to block my car and give me (verbal) grief. I called for help. Help arrived and they left. I'll follow up with law enforcement within days. I've already requested a police report for an attack on one of our canvassers.

Omaha Steve is actually responsible for my running, recruiting others to run and supporting us all the way. Thank you, OS. I am so grateful to this DU hero, angel, brother.

We have met so many younger women and lgbtq folks in our community and we will regroup and improve our strategy for next election.

Thank you, DU
Edited to correct: Our Congressional candidate Gabe Vasquez is tied 50/50 with election denierr, ALEC star but he’s ahead 925 votes

1. Thank you Stephanie for even running. There is always a next time. nt

[Scrivener7]

2. I'm so sorry. And so sorry you were harassed. Thank you, duhneece.

[duhneece]

11. I confess it's the only time I got pissy all day

We had folks give us the finger, thumbs down, “Fuck the Democrats” and I responded with “Have a great day.”

But I got personally shitty with Couy and I’m not proud of that. Gotta work on it. For real.

[Scrivener7]

12. Honestly, I'd be in jail if I tried to do what you do and put myself out there for

those people to see. You did great. And sometimes some of them need some personal shit thrown their way.

[Niagara]

19. Don't sweat the small stuff, duhneece.

You did great considering the amount of abuse that you endured.


Hang in there and thank you for all your hard work!

3. Keep the faith and thank you for your efforts. Consider another run?

[duhneece]

6. I never say never but I'm into recruiting younger folks

We have fired up and connected with folks under 50, 40, 30, 20….my main canvassing partner and electioneering partner for 12 hours is a 23 year old trans woman in a 2 year relationship with a trans man. They live with his grandmother who hasn’t been informed so they live together as a couple, but as the folks they were when they weren’t themselves. I’ve known the grandmother for years and have to be on my toes with pronouns. Lol

I’m already thinking of who could run to ask.. how we can do better at starting canvassing earlier…

4. Keep chipping away, Stephanie.

New Mexico is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I may move there in a few years. NM is worth the fight and needs more reps like you.

[duhneece]

7. She is serving two months since Couy was removed

I’ll be there.

[Better Days Ahoy]

9. Yes, was happy to see that change happen

5. ❤️

8. I'm sorry

that sucks.

[duhneece]

10. I have to admit that it really does suck

I can’t pretend it doesn’t sting. Especially with the truly horrible folks that they elected.

I’m bracing for a city and county ordinance (law), not just a (non- binding) resolution to make us ‘Sanctuary for Unborn’. And a State Rep who will try to push, unsuccessfully (since we’re a blue state) for something similar at state level.

13. Thank you, dear friend, for all the amazing work you do, thankless as it must

feel in red Otero. Please thank Stephanie as well. I know it cannot have been easy.

May cuoy, and his enablers and supporters, receive everything they deserve.

[duhneece]

20. Thank you dearest friend

I thank the Goddess I can come to DU for restorative family love.

I can’t imagine my life without this lifeline.

[niyad]

23. Hugggggs As do I, every single day.

[Ilsa]

14. Thank you for running. You're mmaking a difference! nt

[duhneece]

21. I couldn't do it without DU nt

[Elessar Zappa]

15. I know Otero County well.

You’re doing the work of angels in a tough part of the state. Keep up the good work!

[duhneece]

25. There was definitely a bit of confusion he devil

Yesterday I got pissy, really going low. I don’t want to be triggered into slimy behavior no matter what they do b

[Hortensis]

16. Thanks to Stephanie and all those who

who run heroically in red districts, informing and setting standards, taking stands, offering worthy choices.

[duhneece]

27. The gratitude we get is worth it.

Having Democratic candidates after a few decades of NO Democratic candidates makes people grateful.

[mountain grammy]

17. many thanks to you and New Mexico dems..

Still dreaming about moving there. Funny how life gets in the way of dreams, but not giving up and I will always support NM Dems.

[duhneece]

26. I'm still hoping you get to NM

I love living where I live because of the wild beauty, public lands and sky.

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Thank you for running. I know personally how difficult that is.

I hope you take some time to decompress and recuperate. You deserve it!

[duhneece]

28. I'm just got out of Zumba (my therapy)

And I have a massage scheduled in a couple of hours.

Then some lovely, legal pot on our little deck.

Life is good

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Excellent

[LAS14]

22. You go, girl!!!! I'll be watching for your next race. nt

[duhneece]

29. If I don't run (71, hubby 75... health issues), I'll recruit

I’m pretty sure we’ll have younger candidates.

Stay tuned

[LAS14]

32. Let us know your picks. They'll find out how valuable it is to have Duhneece at their back! nt

[duhneece]

34. Y'all are the best family ever. nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. Thank her for running

Agreeing to run for office is a big deal and I applaud and appreciate any person who agrees to run for office. Good Democrats who agree to run for office are my heroes

[duhneece]

30. Omaha Steve inspired me nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. Thank you for changing things for the better.

Take time every now and then to notice how the seeds you've helped plant have grown and spread.
