In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“New Mexico is the jewel of the Southwest, and it’s time we had leadership that delivers results instead of rhetoric.”
“I’m not a politician — I’m a mom who wants the best for her children, a healthcare provider who has served this community for almost 20 years, and a business owner who knows what it takes to create opportunity.”
“This campaign has always been about the people of this district — the families struggling with rising costs, the communities losing their healthcare providers, and every New Mexican who deserves better leadership in Washington. I’m ready to take that fight all the way to November.”
“I am honored and humbled by the incredible support of Republican delegates and voters across New Mexico.”
