NM-03: Three Events This Weekend for Ben Ray Luján

Be sure to check out an interview with Luján conducted this week by Matt at NMFBIHOP, where Ben Ray talks about the current financial crisis, the green energy economy and more.

BrlheadshotIt's gonna be another busy weekend for Ben Ray Luján, Public Regulation Commissioner and Dem nominee for Congress in NM-03. Lujan's campaign has been a lively one, with lots of grassroots reach-out to voters, a slew of town halls, a bunch of candidate forums and lots of participation in community events. There's a reason Barack Obama referred to Luján as an "up and comer" during his speech in Espanola last week.

Ben Ray is definitely an action kind of guy with a can-do attitude and a winning way with people from all walks of life. There always seems to be an abundance of good ideas bubbling up in his conversations and, even better, he really listens when folks speak to him. I've had a chance to talk with Ben Ray on a number of occasions, hang out with him some at Netroots Nation and participate in some of his campaign events. I can tell you that from my perspective he's the real deal -- engaged, thoughtful, down to earth, enthusiastic and smart as a whip. You can see for yourself by attending any of these events this weekend:
