Click Here to Watch the Zoom Recording of the DPSFC CD3 Forum from May 6th, 2020. It starts with the second question due to a recording glitch.

You can also read about the forum in the Albuquerque Journal: “Magnificent Seven” Democrats zoom in on issues at online forum.”

All seven CD3 candidates participated in the discussion: John Blair, Teresa Leger Fernandez, Laura Montoya, Valerie Plame, Joseph Sanchez, Marco Serna, and Kyle Tisdel.

The DPSFC has canceled all large group meetings. Unfortunately we also had to cancel the planned filming of the March 18th CD-3 Candidates’ Forum. Voter registration tables have been canceled as well.  Committee meetings will be teleconferenced.

We are developing ways, such as postcards to voters, to continue voter outreach. Thank you to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for her swift, decisive emergency response. You can get COVID-19 updates from the New Mexico Department of Health HERE.
