Rep. D. Wonda Johnson, NM State Senate District 5
[[link removed]] Representative Doreen (Wonda) Johnson will be serving her fourth term as New Mexico State Representative for House District 5 in McKinley and San Juan Counties. Wonda’s career has taken her across the Southwest and to the nation’s capital where she spent eight years with the National Indian Education Association in Washington D.C. as their Convention and Legislative Summit Director. In this role, she developed conventions in host cities throughout the U.S. for the 3,000-membership group who worked strategically to pass landmark legislation through Congress. During this time, she also worked on tribal health policies for the National Indian Health Board. Before leaving the Southwest from Phoenix, Arizona, she served under the Governor’s Office of Community and Family Programs where she helped build communities, manage grants, and align government-to-government efforts to maximize community expansion on an array of social, tribal, and prevention initiatives.
