“We need a state-wide moratorium on AI data centers for at least 18 months. The reason these developers are here is because they think they can take advantage of us. We need to take the time so we can truly understand the long term costs of these data centers. If we do not slow down these projects now, we will be dealing with the consequences for generations.”

“Rebecca was first elected to the New Mexico House in 2017 where she passionately defended New Mexico jobs, fought to deregulate industries like oil and gas that provide so much of the state's income, and successfully challenged powerful opponents of our basic, inalienable rights.”
(Rebecca Dow Campaign Website) “Rebecca has consistently pushed back on radical policies that threaten our traditions and freedoms. She stood with nearly every sheriff in the state to declare their county "Second Amendment Sanctuaries." She also built a coalition dubbed the "Save Our Western Way of Life" PAC comprised of law enforcement, ag producers, outfitters and guides, and hardworking New Mexicans with a mission to elect, good values-based candidates for office.”
(Rebecca Dow Campaign Website) “Creating Quality, High-Paying Jobs Amidst a number of job destroyers currently holding office, Rebecca is a rare job creator. Not only does she work to create business-friendly legislation for our working men and women of New Mexico, but she has a proven record in creating jobs, having founded AppleTree Educational Center, Sierra County's largest employer. Rebecca knows what it's like to sign the front of a check, not just the back.”
