Ben Ray Luján is the junior United States Senator from New Mexico. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Michelle Lujan Grisham is the 32nd Governor of New Mexico. She is also a member of the Democratic Party.
The two politicians have worked together on a number of issues, and they have similar political views. However, there is no evidence that they are related.
In 2022, a Twitter user asked Ben Ray Luján if he was related to Michelle Lujan Grisham. Luján responded by saying, “While I respect my friend, our governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, we’re not cousins. This may come as a surprise to you, but not all Hispanic people with the same last name are related.”
Luján’s response was met with some criticism from people who felt that he was being dismissive of the question. However, Luján’s point is a valid one. It is important to remember that not all people with the same last name are related.
