New Year's Resolutions
With the coming arrival of January 1, many New Mexicans are reflecting on the close of 2020 and looking forward to the beginning of a new calendar year. For many of us, the start of a new year is an opportunity for a new chapter, a chance to recommit to bettering ourselves in some simple way. It may be a resolution to spend more time with loved ones, eat healthier and exercise, learn new skills or achieve a new personal goal.

As your State Representative, the New Year is an opportunity for me to reflect on how I serve you and commit to ways I can improve. To that end, I offer my New Year's Resolutions below to you:

I commit to protecting individual liberty.

I commit to working to get our students back in school.

I commit to fighting for our small businesses.

I commit to being accessible and working on your behalf.

I commit to a transparent, open, and accountable legislative session.

I commit to ensuring the voice of rural New Mexico is heard and that our communities are given the resources they need to thrive.

I commit to raising the voice of those who are vulnerable and whose cries often go unheard.

I hope that you will join me this year in protecting our western way of life.
