My name is Melanie Stansbury, and I'm running to represent Deb Haaland's congressional seat in a special election on June 1 -- just a few weeks away.

Republicans are eyeing this seat as a pickup opportunity and waging a no-holds-barred campaign to claim it -- so I hope you'll give me a chance to tell my story and then split a $10 donation between my campaign and the DNC.

I was born and raised in New Mexico. My mother worked as a seamstress and heavy equipment operator, while our extended family owned a mom-and-pop landscaping and irrigation business. Grit, determination, and heart helped my family get by, but it was the care and support of our community that helped us thrive.

I've dedicated my entire career to building a better future for the people of New Mexico -- from working as a science educator to serving as the first woman elected as state house representative to House District 28. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work for the people of New Mexico's first congressional district, but I'll need you by my side to make it possible.

Please, help us keep this seat for Democrats and expand our majority in the years to come by splitting a $10 donation between my campaign and the DNC today.

Tackling climate change, accessing clean drinking water, rebuilding our economy -- these problems must be faced with bold, evidence-based solutions. I'm up for the challenge, but I'm relying on the support of this grassroots team to win this special election and safeguard our Democratic majority in the House.

Can I count on you to split a $10 donation between my campaign and the DNC today? I'd be so appreciative of anything you're able to contribute.

Thank you,

Melanie
