“Dignified communication is about defining what it means to hold office. An elected official is supposed to be a public servant. Period. Holding a legislative seat is a heavy responsibility to care for your neighbors — it is not a platform to feed a personal ego, settle political grudges, or engage in toxic theater. When an official operates from a place of ego, the community loses. But when we lead with dignity, we can finally stop the games and tackle the real economic weight crushing our families.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “Infrastructure: Rural New Mexico greatly needs infrastructure improvements. This includes high-speed broadband internet; paved roads; water management; residential solar credit and wind power; smarter, New Mexico-specific building codes; proven and emerging sustainable technology; closing the rural/urban resource divide; and sustainable agriculture. By promoting and leveraging infrastructure enhancements, we can significantly improve the quality of life in rural New Mexico, fostering economic growth and sustainability.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “I believe that the state's greatest challenges encompass safety, health, and economic improvement for all. This requires lowering violent crime, investing in better, more sustainable infrastructure, and prioritizing access to good education, resources, and healthcare for all citizens.”

Stefani and Thor are avid motorcycle riders who spend many hours riding the beautiful roads of New Mexico.

“All across District 22 aquifers are being drained and wells are going dry. This reality poses major challenges to everyone in our community. We need targeted planning, and a government focused on working with communities to shift our water use so we have water for future generations.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “We must balance our water budget in New Mexico. The state needs to prioritize data collection, planning, and local funding to support communities shifting to substantive water conservation strategies.”
