Key Issues
As a candidate for New Mexico Senate District 2, I am committed to addressing key issues that are critical to the well-being and empowerment of our community. My policy positions and campaign priorities include:
Education Equity
I will advocate for increased funding for public schools, support for teachers, and curriculum reforms that include Indigenous histories and cultures. Education is a cornerstone of empowerment and must be accessible and equitable for all students.
Healthcare Access
I support policies that expand access to affordable healthcare, particularly in rural and underserved areas of our district. Healthcare is a fundamental human right, and I will work to ensure that all residents have access to quality healthcare services.
Environmental Conservation
Protecting our environment is crucial for future generations. I will advocate for policies that promote renewable energy development, conservation efforts, and sustainable practices to safeguard our natural resources.
Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Rights
Upholding tribal sovereignty and treaty rights is non-negotiable. I will work to strengthen partnerships between tribal nations and state government, advocate for policies that respect Indigenous cultures and traditions, and address issues such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and People (MMIWG2).
Social Justice and Equity
I am committed to fighting systemic inequalities and discrimination. I will support criminal justice reforms, advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, and work to address racial and economic disparities within our district.
Community Engagement and Transparency
I believe in open, accountable government. I will prioritize community engagement, listen to the concerns of our residents, and work collaboratively to find solutions that benefit our district as a whole.
Economic Development
I will promote economic growth by supporting small businesses, investing in local infrastructure projects, and advocating for job training programs that create opportunities for our community members.
These policy positions reflect my dedication to serving the needs of Senate District 2 with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to social and economic justice. I am passionate about building a future where every resident has the opportunity to thrive, and I look forward to engaging with our community to create positive change together.
Respectfully,
