Governments are how we share power & money and make group decisions. As a government official, my role will be to earn and use that power carefully, and to steward our process for making decisions together.
New Mexico needs leaders who seek the root cause of our issues. Effective solutions are neither flashy nor quick, and implementing them often demands courage, innovation and clear morals. A good leader creatively crafts legislation that benefits everyone, not just a select few.
From fifteen years working in every NM county and every economic sector, I have learned how everything is connected in NM. Internet access affects home schooling, which affects lifetime income, which affects state tax revenues. So we will succeed by thinking in systems, not single issues.
And before we jump headfirst into "what to do or how to do it", we must pause at the "why are we doing it" until we have full understanding of our needs.
I'm not here just to get elected. I'm here to improve our lives.
- Healthcare is a basic human right, not a business.
- Reform incentives and taxes to help small businesses compete. Diversity New Mexico's economy. And the renewable energy transition much happen right now, and must benefit working New Mexicans.
- Pass common-sense gun reform laws. Fund community policing and restorative justice.
Real and fair solutions are found through active listening
Clean and honest government
Respect, decency, and collaboration
A dedicated vision of New Mexico's potential
