By Richard Barish, Political Chair, Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter
Twenty-five of our 29 endorsed candidates won! The wins included:
- Heather Berghmans, who ousted long-time Senator Daniel Ivey-Soto in Albuquerque’s northeast heights
- Angel Charley, who beat former conservative Democratic Senator Clemente Sanchez in a sprawling Senate district from Los Lunas to the Arizona line
- Chapter Excom member Anita Gonzales, who beat a conservative incumbent in the Las Vegas area
- Activist and ally Joseph Hernandez, who won in a three-way race in the northeast part of the state
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to those who fought the good fight, but fell short. I’m proud that the Sierra Club was able to do its part to contribute to these races.
