2021 Woman of the Year

Dear John,

Our annual Women, Wine and Chocolate Gala will be held virtually on November 20, 2021 at 5:30 P.M., and we are thrilled to announce one of the recipients of our 2021 Woman of the Year award--Representative Melanie Stansbury! Read below to learn more about the newly-elected Congresswoman from CD-1!

Born and raised in New Mexico, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury leads with determination and compassion. She has dedicated her career to finding solutions to water issues, poverty, and climate change — representing New Mexico in the Legislature and now in Congress. She is a champion of efforts to address hunger, food, and water insecurity, conservation and climate change, and economic development and recovery. Stansbury worked in communities across the state as a STEM educator, researcher on land and water issues, and served as a former staffer in the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the White House Office of Management and Budget. As the Congresswoman from New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District, she is working hard to lift up the voices of our communities and tackle our biggest challenges— from economic development, to food and water security, to climate change. 

Congresswoman Stansbury serves New Mexicans on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
