- Tougher Crime Laws
As a future State Senator, addressing the crime crisis will be my top, urgent focus.
We need to get criminals off the streets with a combination of reinstating bail, remanding repeat criminals to jail while awaiting trial, and approving longer sentences with less reduction in time served. Most convictions are reduced to approximately 60% of time served.
In reviewing the proposed legislation from the recent Special Session, I strongly support holding repeat violent offenders accountable and harsher penalties for fentanyl dealers. - Repealing the Gross Receipts Tax Our current tax code has often been described as “Swiss cheese” because of the continued one-off attempts to fix and provide exemptions within it. I believe we must seriously look at rewriting our entire tax code and repealing GRT (Gross Receipts Tax). I believe that maintaining fair, transparent, and predictable property values and balanced taxation is essential for fostering a healthy business environment in New Mexico. I oppose transfer taxes. I favor repealing the GRT and reviewing the recent tax changes
- Bringing Education to the Forefront Currently New Mexico is rated 51 behind Washington DC. This is unacceptable for a state where we have three national labs, and robust university research facilities. We need to end the social promotion of children from grade to grade, passing the problem on to the future, so we can build our workforce. We need to have a vision and require parents, teachers, and administration, all involved in promoting the learning experience. Legislatively we need to have a tough educational policy that promotes learning and excelling as part of our educational process including empowering parents, supporting data-driven and evidence-based programs, focusing on literacy, and ending social promotion.
Strengthen our economy by eliminating gross receipts tax, reducing over-regulation, supporting small business owners, & creating new jobs.
Invest in critical infrastructure improvements by supporting behavioral & mental health care, roads, schools, parks, & access to critical medical providers.
The Absolution of Man by C.S. Lewis
The Governor should listen to the Legislature to approve bills that make it to the Governor's desk.
