to serve as NM Campaign Chair |
In another
sign of the support and excitement Senator
Hillary Clinton is receiving across the
country, New Mexico Lt. Governor Diane
Denish today announced her endorsement and
will serve as the Chair of the New Mexico
for Hillary campaign.
"I am
standing with Hillary Clinton because she
will fight every day she is in the White
House for our families and children. She is
the candidate with the heart, record and
experience to bring about the change we
need," said Lt. Governor Denish.
"Hillary and I share the important
goals of expanding access to health care,
improving our schools and ensuring every
American can take advantage of our nation's
opportunities. New Mexicans know Hillary
Clinton, they know she's a fighter and they
share her vision of putting working
Americans first. I'm proud to offer her my
endorsement."
As a mother,
small business owner, and community
activist, Lt. Governor Denish has a long,
proven record of delivering results for the
people of New Mexico. She successfully
reorganized the New Mexico Democratic Party
and oversaw several electoral successes.
Denish was
elected Lieutenant Governor in 2002,
becoming the first woman to ever hold that
office in New Mexico.
Lt. Governor
Denish was reelected on November 7, 2006. As
Lt. Governor, Denish has fought to improve
education, increase access to health care,
crack down on criminals who endanger
children and create greater economic
opportunities for New Mexicans.
"Lt
Governor Denish is a true inspiration and I
am honored to have her support," said
Senator Clinton. "As Lt. Governor, she
has shown a true, committed passion for
helping New Mexico’s families. Like her, I
have chosen this life of public service
because I want to help people and build a
brighter future for everyone. I am running
for President not to put band-aids on
America’s problems. I want to solve
them."
