Lujan Grisham announces reelection campaign
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham made it official on Thursday: She is running for a second term in office.
At an event in Old Town New Mexico, she announced that she would run for a second term. No New Mexico governor has lost a reelection campaign since 1994 when incumbent Bruce King lost to Gary Johnson. Every governor since then has won a second term.
“We’re gonna protect New Mexico and no amount of noise will deter, intimidate or create a vacuum in leadership. That makes a difference for every single New Mexican this day, and every day,” Lujan Grisham said in a very short speech.
Protesters shouted and yelled into bullhorns, sometimes drowning out speakers. Some criticized her response to the COVID-19 pandemic, others held anti-vaccination signs while at least one protester held a sign that compared Lujan Grisham to Adolf Hitler.
