STATEMENT: Martin Heinrich Vows to Defend New Mexico Values After Donald Trump Wins Presidential Election

“I will continue to stand up for our values, our families, and our future”

ALBUQUERQUE, NM—In the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) vowed to stand firm in defense of New Mexico’s values and protect the progress made for families, communities, and future generations:

“Today’s outcome presents immense challenges, but I want New Mexicans to know this: I will continue to stand up for our values, our families, and our future. As we face the prospect of President-elect Donald Trump and his administration pushing an extreme and divisive agenda, I remain deeply committed to protecting the progress we’ve made: from defending reproductive rights and protecting access to healthcare, to preserving our public lands and creating more economic opportunity for working families.

Throughout her campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris shattered barriers, inspired countless Americans, and reignited a profound sense of hope across this country. Her vision will continue to inspire our work ahead, grounded in the promise of freedom and opportunity for all. Our fight to create a better, brighter future for New Mexico is far from over. I will work with leaders from both parties to find common ground on the issues that matter most to New Mexicans, without compromising our core values or leaving our communities behind. Together we will hold the line and defend the values that make our state strong.”
