Occupation
Homemaker
My background includes being a wife, a mother, a veteran, a foster parent, and a former small business owner. I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility, the need for effective resource allocation, and the ability to navigate complex regulations. I'm also experienced in managing difficult tasks and working collaboratively with others. I'm committed to leveraging my skills and experience, reducing bureaucratic hurdles, and fostering an environment conducive to economic growth.
My district is my number one priority. Immigration, economy, taxation, crime, and education are all important, critical and inter-dependent factors to a thriving community. I plan to address each with a practical, problem solving approach to promote accountability and ensure that any policies I advocate for are fair and equitable for all.
Water is a critical resource in New Mexico. Several studies show we are unable to sustain the current resource use model. We need to fund further studies and characterization of available water sources, including brackish water, and draft responsible plans for appropriate development and use. We cannot afford frivolous or ineffective legislation. It must be sensible and science-based.
Police are often the first responders. We need to equip and empower officers, and expect them to act on crime. Additionally, allocating sufficient resources for mental health professionals to work alongside police officers can provide a more holistic approach to addressing the underlying issues. Lastly, we must enforce existing laws, and stop Catch and Release. We must ensure that those found guilty of a crime are held accountable for their actions.
Government spending, taxation and inflation drive costs for everything, including housing. More spending is not the solution. Responsible spending and lower taxes/utilities/fuel costs create a competitive environment and market for housing for all. We should promote affordable housing through responsible governance.
We need to make New Mexico an attractive, crime-free place for businesses, an environment where they can pursue industry without undue regulation, taxes and utility costs. Lower government spending and regulation, less taxes, and lower fuel costs benefit everyone and promote commerce.
Paying legislators a salary can attract qualified individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford the financial burden of serving in public office. It also helps to ensure that legislators can focus on their duties without the distraction of basic financial concerns.
