Campaign website
Johnson's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ECONOMY Being born and raised in New Mexico, Alexis understands the diversity of New Mexico’s economy. To her, economic opportunity is more than a talking point. But under President Biden, our economy is catastrophically failing. Prices are up. Wages are down. Inflation is ravaging our budgets. Alexis believes in the dignity of work and that the United States must always be the land of opportunity. She is running for Congress to reignite the American Dream, and restore lasting hope for American prosperity. The out-of-control spending is already being felt by Americans at the grocery store and gas pumps. The future of our country depends on wise choices, not tomorrow, but now.
As a lifelong New Mexican, Alexis understands just how important our agricultural community is to New Mexico’s future success. Alexis knows the rural lifestyle very well as she has worked on her family farm and ranch operations whether it is working with cattle, poultry, and building infrastructure. She is a strong supporter of New Mexico dairies, pecan farmers, cattle producers, and chile farm operations. She believes more can be done to support rural New Mexico farmers and to continue the traditional uses of the lands in New Mexico in and along the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers as well as our acequias. Extreme federal overreach in regulating every aspect of the farm and ranch way of life does not contribute to prosperity in New Mexico but shutter generational farms and ranches by decreasing opportunity. She looks to create opportunities and remove red-tape. As an environmental engineering professional, Alexis looksto promote environmental stewardship not environmental alarmism which, in the past, has closed the timber industry in northern New Mexico while creating fire hazards due to extremist government policies. She will also be a champion for generational farming – making sure burdensome taxes and regulations are removed so that New Mexico farms continue to belong to New Mexico families – not the federal government.
As a lifelong New Mexican, Alexis deeply understands the vital contribution our Native American community brings to our shared New Mexico values. From Navajo Code Talkers to the many veterans and service members who are a part of our tribal nations, Alexis understands the great sacrifice made and will continue to make sure they are taken care of and honored. She will be a champion for economic opportunity and rural broadband in New Mexico so that prosperity will be accessible to all New Mexicans. Alexis will continue to protect the valuable cultural contributions and revenue of Native American jewelry industry, ensuring that Native American jewelry is not reproduced by China. She also believes in increasing voting registration access so that everyone is able to have a voice in our democracy. Alexis will represent all of our Pueblos, Navajo Nation, and the Jicarilla Apache Nation with great pride, respect, and collaboration.
Alexis Martinez Johnson is proud of her Hispanic heritage. She believes the humane, moral action is to secure the border. To do anything less is to continue the horrible physical, psychological, and sexual abuse of those attempting to enter the United States, and empower the violent, organized criminals victimizing them and our communities. Our communities in New Mexico have been and continue to be ravaged by illicit drug supply and use which has decimated the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of generations of New Mexicans. The United States should reform our broken and arbitrary immigration system to give everyone who wishes to become an American the opportunity to do so. But the policies that are in place have made the border a dangerous area where children are at peril and the safety and health of humanity is at stake. We can do a better job and the time is now! We cannot continually allow cartels to dictate how and who gets into the United States and at what cost!
Education serves as a gateway to opportunity. Every child, no matter the circumstances they were born into, deserves a quality education. But in recent years, schools have been putting liberal doctrine first, and educational outcomes last. We need leaders who will protect our children from the over-sexualization of school curriculum and radical CRT indoctrination. It’s simple: school choice works. Studies show school choice benefits children who transfer to private or charter schools while also helping those who remain in public school. It’s time to stop allowing the elite to gate-keep education, and begin to give every child equal educational opportunities they deserve.
Joe Biden’s war on oil and gas is killing jobs and destroying economic opportunity in New Mexico. These policies fail to achieve any meaningful reduction in carbon emissions and destroy our community’s ability to provide for our families. Instead, radical progressive policy has been a windfall to foreign oil companies in Russia and the Middle-East. Congress needs to fight back, and stop Joe Biden from sending well- paying New Mexico jobs overseas. Oil and gas can be part of a comprehensive climate solution. Alexis believes we should take an “all of the above” approach to energy. As we continue to produce oil and clean natural gas in the United States, we should also continue to invest in researching effective long-term energy solutions, including solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, and others, as well in carbon reduction technologies necessary to reduce the current build up of greenhouse gases. The free market creates solutions to climate change, not the Green New Deal.
Crime is out of control. New Mexico’s homicide rate has exploded in recent years, going up by 75%. It’s no wonder why: calls to defund police have emboldened criminals, and our broken border provides criminals with boundless opportunity. New Mexican families should not be forced to live in fear. Alexis believes that our economy thrives when our citizens can operate their businesses safely and without fear.
Joe Biden’s heavy-handed, one-size-fits-all approach to the pandemic has failed. He told us he had a plan. He told us he would shut down the pandemic, not the country. But clearly, he lied. It’s time to embrace every proven solution to the pandemic. Alexis supports getting vaccinated, but she also supports antiviral treatments, monoclonal antibodies, and other proven solutions, including listening to the advice of well-respected scientists on natural immunity. Our focus should be on moving past the pandemic, not further dividing Americans because of it.
Due to the influence of the pandemic, getting access to adequate healthcare has become harder than ever. Alexis will be a champion for providing accessible healthcare. As a mother of four, she understands that having affordable healthcare is imperative to New Mexican families. Alexis looks to fully fund research to battle the Covid pandemic, making sure that healthcare alternatives, such as tele-health, are accessible so patients can get the care they need. She will promote funding of our top research universities and medical research to deliver for the American people. After two years into this pandemic, people should have more resources to take care of themselves. Alexis looks to not politicize healthcare but to deliver much needed clarity and a forward path in these uncertain times.
As a wife and mother of four children, Alexis understands New Mexico family values, and will fight to put New Mexico families first – whether that’s the right to self-defense, lowering taxes and regulations on small businesses, affordable healthcare, or quality education. Alexis has what it takes to get New Mexico out of the economic ditch so that New Mexico families can thrive.
Alexis comes from a family of veterans and current military service members. She understands the separation her family has endured as we fight to save lives. Alexis’s top priority is to reduce loss of life while promoting harmony among countries. The Veterans Affairs administration is broken, and needs a total overhaul. With Alexis in Congress, she will fight to ensure every veteran gets access to healthcare and job training so that our veterans are taken care of when they hang up their uniform. Alexis understands that our veterans’ sacrifice for our nation should be matched with equal sacrifice on their behalf for their bravery and service. She also believes in widening access to mental healthcare for those that are still suffering after they come home, because she knows we must leave no man or woman behind.[2] |

| Collapse all
- I believe in a government For the People and By the People. I am a Native New Mexican who comes from humble beginnings, and I will stand up for the average New Mexican.
- I believe that the United States and New Mexican Government has strayed from the principles and values that made us great. I am a fiscal conservative, god-fearing mother and wife.
- I worked for years in the Oil Fields of the Permean Basin, one of America's (and New Mexico's) most valuable Natural Resources. I will work every day to pass and enact legislation at the federal level to ensure Oil and Gas resources in New Mexico are responsibly extracted and maintained for future Generations.
I love the format of the film because we see Forrest at different ages in his life which allows him to understand him fully as a person. I believe Forrest Gump would be considered a fiscal conservative, like many in his generation of that time period, as he fought in Vietnam, then becomes a very successful business owner through starting "Bubba Gump Fishing Company" and then investing in 'Apple' early.
Also growing up in post World War II Southern United States, whose family lived on (what seems to be) a former plantation.
Honesty - Faithfully performing the duties and responsibilities of my office. Upholding my sworn oath.
Integrity - Communicating effectively and honestly with constituents.
Republicanism and Fiscal Conservativism - My first job is as a representative of my constituents in Washington: to vote for their interests and ensuring responsibility in government so that resources are used for the benefit of the public.
Effectively advocate for New Mexicans' interests on federal legislation.
Work with fellow legislators and politicians in Washington, D.C. and New Mexico to promote a higher quality of life for all New Mexicans.
Specifically, I would like to focus on legislation that will maximize the economic benefits of the incredible Natural Resource of a portion of the Permean Basin in Southeastern New Mexico.To ensure that one of our most valuable resources is responsibly extracted, protected and maintained for generations. Ensure that Government works to reduce 'red tape' and bureaucracy standing in the way of new improvements and innovation, while maintaining a high level of environmental responsibility and protection.
Other than Forrest Gump, I would want to be Frodo in the Lord of the Rings trilogy because, although he is a hobbit (small stature), he ventures on an incredible journey and ultimately succeeds in his mission.
