Santa Fe, N.M. - U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement:
"The election is now over. As I have done throughout my career in Congress, and will continue to do, I will vote to certify the election and uphold the will of the people. This is critical for the peaceful transition of power.
"Donald Trump was president for four years and divided our nation while advancing efforts that hurt working Americans and undermined the rule of law. I pray that the next four years will be different for the good of the country.
"While the national landscape was challenging, New Mexicans showed up in strong numbers to reelect Senator Martin Heinrich and Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández, Melanie Stansbury, and Gabe Vasquez. We will continue working to deliver results for New Mexico regardless of who is in power in Congress and the White House."
