With her campaign similar to the initiatives of the Biden administration, Democrat Melanie Stansbury won House Election Race in New Mexico on Tuesday, June 1.

Democrats' Domination

Stansbury prevailed in an open, four-way race to fill the vacant seat previously held by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.

According to Fox News, the 42-year-old New Mexico native Melanie Stansbury linked her bid to Congress to the proposed and enacted Democratic legislation on pandemic relief, infrastructure spending, and interventions to slowing down climate change. The victory of Stansbury adds up to the increasing Democratic majority in Congress ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Moreover, while celebrating her victory, Stansbury strode on stage in Albuquerque with her both arms raised. She then thanked her supporters and volunteers who were by her side throughout the campaign. She also added that it is the determination and grit that she learned from her mother that fueled her campaign. Her mother worked in a denim factory before she served as a crane mechanic.

In addition, Stansbury emphasized that when the moment families, communities, and country demands her to step up, she will step up in finding solutions for communities and continue to figure it out. Stansbury also added that it is exactly what they did during the campaign period and it is also the reason why she's standing before them.

Furthermore, the victory of Stansbury preserves the all-female lineup of New Mexico in their House delegation. The New Mexican native defeated third-term Republican state Senator Mark Moores to fill an Albuquerque-based seat that has been held by Democrats since 2009.
