And now, with a public health, and economic crisis on our doorstep, it’s more important than ever that we elect strong, compassionate, transparent leaders like Katy to see New Mexico through these tough times.

Rep. Joanne Ferrary, NM House of Representatives, District 37
[[link removed]] Born in Ohio, Joanne and her family moved to Albuquerque when she was twelve. She graduated from Manzano High School and attended UNM for two years before relocating her family to Las Cruces in 1980. It was there she completed her undergraduate and MBA degrees at NMSU, while raising two kids as a single mom. In 1990, her passion for traffic safety issues led her to a career in the New Mexico Department of Transportation, where she partnered with federal and local governments to set up Community DWI Task Forces statewide, designed to change New Mexico’s status as the state with the highest DWI death rate in the country. Today, as a result of these Task Forces, less than half as many people die in DWI crashes as they did 20 years ago.

Rep. Joy Garratt, NM House of Representatives, District 29
[[link removed]] “I believe that the challenges we face present powerful opportunities to innovate, to grow new sectors of our economy, and to develop paths for our children to build careers and raise their families right here at home. Meanwhile, we need to ensure that our communities and neighborhoods offer safe places to raise families and the necessary opportunities to obtain affordable health care and a good education.Two personal blessings in my life include the fact that I have been married for 38 years to my deeply supportive husband, Dr. Dale Garratt—a writer and educator—and that I am the proud mother of our son Daejo. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you."
