New Mexico Together
I love New Mexico. Not just because of the big skies and chile (Christmas all the way). I love the people of New Mexico and our history of making room for, and sometimes even celebrating, our differences. I think that's one of the things that makes us strong. We care about each other. We care about our land. We care about local businesses. We care about our kids. We work hard, we look out for our neighbors, and we love being outdoors. Focusing on our shared values is what we need to do right now. I know we have some big issues to tackle and it won't be easy. I know I'm ready. I believe if we can put the people and communities of New Mexico first, we can continue to improve opportunities, outcomes, and the health of our state. We can do hard things. Let's do them together and make a New Mexico for all of us.
Driven by Service
Outside of raising my children to be good people, there is nothing more important to me than serving my community. I have served food in this community. I've given care in this community. I am serving on the school board in this community. There's always more work to be done. I have the heart and the experience to do more and that's why I'm running to represent New Mexico House District 50 in 2026. I know that my perspective is a valuable asset to addressing the issues here - from education to healthcare and many things in between.
The Issues
Education: strong, well-funded public education that creates equitable opportunities for all children in all zip codes
Healthcare: access to highly skilled general practitioners and specialists, including mental health and substance abuse, in a timely manner and for an affordable price
Economic development: prioritizing small businesses and strengthening local communities
Accessible housing: this means an adequate supply of houses at prices that the median income earner can afford to buy
I know safety is top of mind for a lot of people and I get it. It's a real issue. I believe that the incidence of crime and violence will decrease as opportunities/pay/access to housing and healthcare increase and costs decrease. We need to look at the issues holistically, not individually because they are all interconnected.
