Edwina Cisneros, NM House of Representatives District 13
My goal in the State Legislature is to work on education, economic development and safety. I want to work on legislation that helps our children understand how to manage finances and improve the access to vocational and career training. Our community needs easier access to Rio Rancho and the greater Albuquerque Area, so I want to ensure that roads and accessibility are completed and ready for new business to join the West Mesa. Safety for our children, our families and our elderly are paramount to me. I want to ensure that our families have access to reproductive health. I support gun safety legislation. I want to ensure that our elderly can retire with dignity and without fear.

Pam Cordova, NM State Senate District 30
“I'm a retired teacher of 26 years who has lived and worked in this district for my entire career. My family has lived in the heart of New Mexico for generations. I am working hard to earn each and every vote in Cibola, McKinley, Socorro, and Valencia Counties so we can finally have a Senator who represents the Democratic values of this district.”
Meredith Dixon, NM House of Representatives, District 20
“I am excited to announce that I'm running for New Mexico State Representative, District 20. After many years of working alongside inspirational political leaders, but never a candidate myself, I decided that I want to be a part of the solution and work to create positive impacts for New Mexico. As a mother of two young girls, I also want to show my daughters that women bring unique perspectives and are ready to lead. I want to show them that we can work together to find durable solutions that are in the best interest of our whole community.”
