Congratulations Pro-Life City Councilors

​
Albuquerque, New Mexico- Abortion Free New Mexico would like to congratulate newly elected Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis (District 5). Lewis signed our pro-life pledge and won in his district race obtaining 52% of the votes! Renee Grout (District 9) who also signed our pro-life pledge received the most votes in her district but because she didn't receive over 51% of the votes, she will have a run off election on December 7th. ​

"Albuquerque is the late term abortion capital of the nation and we are pleased to see that candidates who are taking a bold stand for life are winning their races. There will be so much more that we can do at the city level with a conservative majority on the city council," stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico

Abortion Free New Mexico’s Pro-Life Pledge states:

“I pledge to defend life from conception to natural death. In making and keeping this pledge, I am committed to ending all abortion and all assisted suicide in the state of New Mexico.”

With the election of City Councilor Dan Lewis and a win in Renee Grout's run off election, there is the potential for a major power shift leaning towards a pro-life majority on the Albuquerque city council!

Renee Grout, issued the following statement,

​“I’m so grateful to my family, our volunteers and all the voters who supported me. We still have a lot of work to do,” said Grout. “We will continue to campaign hard, and I look forward to serving our great city.”
