FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

EDF Action congratulates New Mexico Governor-Elect Michelle Lujan Grisham on her victory today. A longtime champion for clean air and a healthy environment – including endorsing a statewide rule to reduce methane pollution and waste — EDF Action provided a $125,000 contribution to Better Future for New Mexico, an independent expenditure committee advocating for the election of Michelle Lujan Grisham as Governor.

“EDF Action is proud to have played a role in helping elect Governor-elect Lujan Grisham.” said Joe Bonfiglio, President of EDF Action. “We look forward to working with Governor-elect Lujan Grisham to build a healthier, more prosperous future for New Mexico through policies like putting in place strong, statewide rules to reduce methane pollution and waste from the oil and gas industry.”

In total, EDF Action spent nearly $9 million in over 30 races in pivotal battleground states, supporting pro-environment candidates on both sides of the aisle, in federal, state, and local races.
