Our district has so much to offer--small businesses, renewable energy, local foods and agriculture, and more. We need to work with businesses to train and retain workers and make sure they have healthcare, sick leave, and childcare. I support:
Expanding outdoor recreation and ecotourism opportunities and businesses
Paid sick leave
High-speed broadband internet access for all New Mexicans. Access to the internet is fundamental not only to our educational system, but also to our businesses
Facilitating our farmers' and ranchers' abilities to sell their food products locally within New Mexico as well as export them to out-of-state markets
Pursuing development of hemp production and cannabis industries including development of training and regulation programs
The right to organize and bargain collectively, the best way to create livable wages and reasonable working conditions.
