“My name is Richard Zubia. I was born and raised in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am 39 years old, Hispanic, and proud to call myself an American man from this great state. I take deep pride in our country, our state, and the hardworking people who make New Mexico home.”
(Richard Zubia Campaign Website) “New Mexico is unique, rich in culture and tradition. We are a community built on strength — who know how to endure, adapt, and fight for what matters.”
(Richard Zubia Campaign Website) “Year after year, we continue to rank near the bottom in key measures like education, public safety, and economic opportunity — all while having one of the smallest populations in the nation. There are certain Representatives and Senators in the Round House who have stopped caring about the people they were elected to be a voice for!”
