I know firsthand how hard people work to earn every paycheck, and I am deeply grateful for everyone that shares my vision for New Mexico.
On day one, I will overhaul CYFD. We will start from scratch with a secretary who has the right experience to serve our kids and move toward a system that provides consistent, high-quality care.
The decision to send a child across the border alone is unacceptable. My heart breaks every time a child is harmed because of poor policy.
I am firmly in favor of making our utilities more accountable to ratepayers, more affordable for consumers, driven by more renewable energy for our environment and more beneficial for New Mexicans.
