“Nothing is more fundamental to building and maintaining our democracy than ensuring equitable and high-quality education for all New Mexicans. I plan to advocate for increased funding and implementation of the reforms mandated by Judge Singleton in the landmark Martínez and Yazzie lawsuits to improve educational outcomes and support educators. I will collaborate with stakeholders to develop effective strategies addressing root causes of educational disparities and promote student success. Nada es más fundamental para mantener y seguir construyendo democracia que asegurar equidad y alta calidad educacional para todos los Nuevomexicanos.”

They must be willing to make informed contributions to shared policy and collaborate with other legislators and policy makers to shape the future of their communities.”
