Denish receives Democratic nomination for governor

Great news from New Mexico! EMILY's List candidate Diane Denish officially received the Democratic nomination for governor over the weekend at the Democratic nominating convention in Santa Fe.

During her acceptance speech, Diane outlined the kind of leadership she plans to bring to the governor's office -- her "New Way Forward for New Mexico."

"People ask me why I would want to be governor when times are so tough? I tell them because now is when it matters most. Times are tough, no doubt about it -- but New Mexicans are tougher. We can't rely on Wall Street bailouts. We have to pull together like a family and kick-start the economic recovery ourselves. We must help small businesses expand by cutting red tape and invest in our workforce so that we can compete for the high-wage jobs of the future."

We're thrilled Diane can now look past this first step in the process and gear up for her general election.
