Bruce has sent a letter to all Members of the State Central Committee announcing his candidacy.

Bruce Barnably sees the two main issues facing our party in future elections to be “A 50 State Strategy” and The National Presidential Primary. Bruce supports DNC Chair Howard Dean's grassroots efforts to increase party membership with his “50 State Strategy.” Bruce wants to join Chairman Dean in renewing and strengthening the “50 State Strategy.” Mr. Barnably also anticipates a discussion on a National Presidential Primary which may result in revising the way the United States conducts primary elections to select candidates for president.

Mr. Barnably if elected has said that he will keep Democrats in New Mexico informed as these issues move forward and he will seek advice and suggestions in open forums and meetings.
