Thank you, New Mexico! It is the honor of my lifetime to be elected your 33rd Governor.
Tonight, you made history. You chose a future where New Mexico comes first, where working families have a chance to get ahead, and where every New Mexican has a voice.
I know the challenges ahead are real. But I also know that New Mexicans have never backed down from a fight — and we are going to tackle these challenges together.
Whether you voted for me or not, I will always be your Governor, too. Because this campaign was about all of us, and the future we deserve.
Let’s keep New Mexico, New Mexico. Let’s build a brighter future for our families. And let’s get to work.
