Rep. Angelica Rubio, NM House of Representatives, District 35
[[link removed]] "Rep. Rubio was born and raised in rural southeastern New Mexico and is the youngest daughter of Mexican immigrants. Angelica grew up with a deep working knowledge of the power found in numbers, as well as a flair for making her case. After earning her degree in Government from New Mexico State University, Angelica worked in Washington, DC. She later moved to East Los Angeles to pursue a graduate degree in Latin American Studies, as well as an education in community organizing. After her reelection in 2018, Angelica prepared for the 2019 legislative session by organizing a successful 300+mile bikepacking trip from Las Cruces to Santa Fe, to raise awareness on the disconnect between the state capitol and the rest of the state, and did so again this past January. When Angelica is not organizing and working on issues of justice, you can find her at home hanging with her dog, Lennon, or riding her bike along the dry ditch banks of the desert in Doña Ana County and beyond.”

Nancy Savage, NM State Senate District 20
Representative Andrea Romero - Home | Facebook [[link removed]] “As a former math educator in New Mexico prisons, I have seen first-hand how education and mental healthcare support can prevent recidivism and provide opportunities for New Mexicans to choose a different path. As an operations project manager for Small Business Innovation Research at the Army Test & Evaluation Command, my experience leading technology development programs will help me improve tech-transfer from our labs and help support the growth of small businesses. As a grandmother, a long-time New Mexico resident, and an environmental advocate, I know the importance of protecting our natural resources, the beauty of New Mexico, and the health of our future generations.”
