Contents
U.S. House of Representatives
Luján voted in favor of the left-wing Equality Act[1] and has expressed "hope" that young Republicans will push for what he considers "diversity".[2]
In late 2019, Luján, along with Nancy Pelosi and other House Democrats, blocked the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act for the 80th time.[3]
Luján supported the impeachment coup "investigation" against Donald Trump[4] and voted along with his party line on both articles to impeach the president.[5]
2020 Senate run
After incumbent senator Tom Udall announced in March 2019 that he wasn't seeking re-election in 2020,[6] Luján soon declared his run for the seat.[7] According to the New Haven Register on February 4, 2020, he raised nearly 1 million dollars for his campaign in addition to the $2 million in cash-on-hand he already possesses.[8]
Luján won the general election over Republican nominee Mark Ronchetti, but only by just under 6% of the votes cast.[9]
Political views
Luján is a liberal who supports ObamaCare, raising taxes on the wealthy, stimulus spending bills, and raising the minimum wage.[10]
Family
Luján's cousin is Michelle Lujan Grisham, the current radical, extremely pro-abortion[11] governor of New Mexico.
