Hoping a Hillary landslide will put her over the top.

Denise is running against a Koch-backed Republican incumbent with far more money to play.

If anyone here has a few bucks left to contribute I can't think of a better choice than one of our own--DUer Denise Lang for New Mexico!

11. I've contributed before, and I'm kicking in another $100 for Denise

Denise and I have another connection that goes all the way back to the Vietnam War.

In our DU discussions we learned that Denise's late husband and I were in the same Army hospital at the same time, being treated for our wounds from Vietnam. Not just in the same hospital--but on the same floor.

Denise's husband, Mike, was on the amputee side and I was on the facial casualties side. But I visited the amp side and probably met Mike. Meeting Denise here and discovering our connection really blew me away.

So I hope you'll pardon me for my affinity for Denise. We are family.

19. I have to confess a personal bias

In our DU discussions, duhneece and I eventually realized that her late husband, Mike, and I during the Vietnam War had been in the same Army hospital at the same time. Not just the same hospital, but on the same floor.

Mike was on the amputee side side and I was on the facial casualties side. But I'd sometimes visit the amputee side, and I probably met Mike all those years ago.

Denise and I are family. How could I not support her?

21. Just heard from Denise on DU Mail that she's still out walking and door-knocking

She has been walking the neighborhoods and knocking on thousands of doors. That's what it takes when your opponent has all the money.

She's the first person to mount a serious challenge to the GOP incumbent, and she is working her ass off to do it--for us.

THIS is one of the downballot races that is important for Democrats. Replacing the Koch-backed GOP incumbent who wants to make New Mexico a 'right to work' state and turn public lands over to the state really is a BFD for Dems.

I just contibuted again. How about you? What's it worth to put a downballot state candidate over the top?

24. Denise's incumbent GOP opponent is a real trip

Backed by the Koch brothers and ALEC, she's actively working to turn New Mexico into an anti-union 'right to work' state and to turn federal public lands over to the state to escape restrictions on oil drilling.

That should give you some idea about why this downballot state lege race is important. We need more Denise Langs in these positions instead of ALEC stooges.

25. Special shout out to Omaha Steve, who helped Denise organize her fundraising

Way to go, Steve!

27. We do have a DU Act Blue link to use

[pinboy3niner]

29. I'm afraid most of us didn't use that link to contribute

I thought my contributions would be counted as DU. Oh, well...it's all good.

[pinboy3niner]

31. I wish I could retroactively attribute my contributions to DU

Our DU total must be a LOT higher than that link shows.

[Omaha Steve]

32. I'm sure it is

It all went to the right place.
