From VICE News: “The last time Representative Steve Pearce ran a statewide race he lost badly and Democrats captured the seat he’d vacated. So they’re hoping for a repeat performance of that in 2018 as he’s the likely GOP nominee for governor. Mad Hildebrandt is the only Democrat raising serious cash here and is the type of unconventional candidate that Democrats should try running in conservative-leaning areas.”
I am honored to receive the endorsement of Our Revolution New Mexico, alongside a class of amazing leaders. Congratulations Antoinette Sedillo Lopez for Congress who is running in CD-1, Bill McCamley, who is running for New Mexico State Auditor, Peter DeBenedittis who is running for Governor, Rick Miera, who is running for Lt. Governor, and Stephanie Garcia Richard who is running for Land Commissioner.
Delegates and fellow Democrats – this weekend, many of us will be participating in the New Mexico Democratic Party’s Convention. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you! For over a year now, I’ve been driving to every corner of the 2nd Congressional District to meet you face to face and to explain why I’m so passionate about running for Congress. The reception you’ve given me has been overwhelming. I look forward to connecting with many of you at the convention in Albuquerque!
Welcome! We’re LIVE now talking about why I’m passionate about representing Congressional District 2 in Congress and how I plan to fight for everyday New Mexicans.
THIS MORNING at 10 AM! Tune in via Facebook Live to learn more about me and why I’m passionate about representing Congressional District 2 in Congress.
If the following sound like your priorities as well, I could sure use your support:
-Stronger background checks, mental-health screening and age limits before purchasing a firearm.
-Reducing the cost of higher education and supporting funding to expand early-childhood education here in New Mexico.
-Utilizing my background in the United States Armed Forces and the Military Police to support state and local law enforcement in efforts to crack down on crime, drug dealers and drug trafficking.
-Reversing the Trump administration’s anti-environment, pro-fracking agenda and ushering in a new era of economic expansion around New Mexico’s abundant, clean, renewable-energy sources.
-Supporting working families by expanding paid family and medical leave and enforcing equal pay for equal work legislation. #getmad #mad4nm

A little over a year ago, I attended a women’s march in Albuquerque. Being surrounded by so many smart, powerful, passionate women was one of the driving reasons behind my decision to run for Congress in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District.
That power and passion has obviously encouraged women across America to open up about their stories of sexual assault and harassment. To date, 17,700,000 women have told their #METOO story. Now it’s my turn. Read more.
Tune in on Thursday at 10 am to get to know me. If the following sound like your priorities as well, I could sure use your support:
-Stronger background checks, mental-health screening and age limits before purchasing a firearm.

Inevitably, after hundreds of you have asked me why I’m running, it’s become clear that my three main reasons are #1– family, #2 – my love of country, and #3 – my heartfelt belief that Washington, D.C.’s political elite do not represent everyday New Mexicans.
For the record, Washington’s political elite has pushed every Democrat out of this race except my Democratic Primary opponent, whom the D.C. insiders have endorsed, and me. On behalf of all the loyal Democrats and hard-working New Mexicans the political insiders have tried to silence here in New Mexico, I’m not going anywhere. Click to read more!
