Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or even Independent, we should take pride in the fact that we had a phenomenal mid-term election. We had a total voter turnout of 721,149 people, about 10,000 more than we had in our last mid-term election.
If you voted for the Democrat or the Republican candidate, we should be proud that we had two people that wanted to help New Mexico running for governor. It doesn't matter who won, we have to stay united as people and not become divided.
The two candidates strongly care for New Mexico in their own ways, shown by the policies of economic equity (Deb Haaland) and economic growth (Gregg Hull); those two policies being deeply interwoven with each other showing they care for New Mexicans alike.
We should also congratulate one another for using the power granted to us by our democracy. We the people came together to make one decision; despite our innate differences we work together every four years to vote. Even if we are on different sides, we should respect one another's choices. At the end of the day, we are all New Mexicans. That makes us equal.
