I have served three years in the legislature. I am currently on the House Education and House Appropriations and Finance
My focus areas are eduction, public safety, economy, and infrastructure to name a few. I will advocate and support efforts to address these areas that affect our families and communities
Water is a valuable resource for New Mexico, we need to conserve what we have and continue our work with brackish water
Adequately funding our local fire and police departments and adopt laws to end the revolving door and keep dangerous criminals off the streets
Affordable housing is a problem in many communities across the state. We cannot use a cookie cutter approach to address this issue.
