“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the Democratic Party of New Mexico,” Forrester said in the release. “As a native New Mexican, I believe deeply in the Democratic values of our state, and I look forward to working to continue the progress Democrats have brought to New Mexico. I will work enthusiastically to ensure Democrats are elected throughout New Mexico.”
Gonzales said he also wanted to thank Geise for his service.
“He has been a friend and asset to the party, and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” Gonzales said.
