| Collapse all
- Crime:- It's no secret that crime in Albuquerque is out of control. Our so-called "leaders" in office have exacerbated the problem and expect New Mexicans to be complacent. We need to work to strengthen relationships between the police and our community, bring back qualified immunity for first responders, and reform New Mexico's broken bail system.
- Education:- Our children are entitled to a quality education, and parents should never settle for less. Rather than funding institutions that fail students, we should instead fund students and give parents the allowance they need to send their children to a public, private, or charter school of their choice.
- Economy:- Right now, irresponsible government spending is one of the biggest issues impacting New Mexico's economy. Khalid will be a voice in Santa Fe to regulate the state budget. By reducing unnecessary government spending, we can reduce taxes in New Mexico and put more money in the pockets of hardworking New Mexicans.
With my background in solar energy he understands not only the industry, but the science behind how to make New Mexico a leader in new energy technology.
