CHAMPION FOR OUR COMMUNITY

Born and raised on a small family farm in Nambé, New Mexico by a union ironworker and a public school employee, Ben Ray Luján learned the values of hard work and community service from a young age. In 2018, Ben Ray successfully chaired the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, leading the Democratic effort to take back the majority in the U.S. House while electing the most diverse and youngest Congress in history. As Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Ben Ray is the highest-ranking Hispanic in Congress and has helped put forward a people-first legislative agenda that addresses disparities to help all Americans achieve equity, whether in access to clean water, criminal justice, lowering prescription drug prices, preventing gun violence, ensuring protections for our immigrant communities, or removing the influence of dark money in our politics. In his downtime, Ben Ray enjoys mountain biking and working on the family farm. He continues to live in Nambé and is running to represent New Mexico in the U.S. Senate.
