New Mexico should eliminate its personal income tax.
Background
New Mexico taxes personal income at graduated rates, and the tax is one of the state's main revenue sources along with the gross receipts tax and oil and gas revenue. Eliminating it would cut taxes for earners and require other revenue or spending changes.
If I'm elected, I will prioritize lowering costs for New Mexicans by creating long-term investments in more affordable housing, increasing middle-class tax breaks like the working families tax credit and the child tax credit, and healthcare reform that makes it easier and cheaper to see a doctor.
I do believe that the personal income tax in the state needs to be eliminated. That's going to make sure we stay competitive with the states around us.
New Mexico should speed up state permits for new oil and gas wells.
Background
New Mexico is one of the largest oil-producing states, and oil and gas revenue pays for a large share of the state budget. Faster state permitting would shorten review times for new drilling on state and private land.
New Mexico should set a binding statewide limit on greenhouse gas emissions.
Background
New Mexico has emissions goals and some sector rules, such as methane limits on oil and gas and clean power standards for utilities. A binding limit would require the state to cap total emissions and cut them over time.
New Mexico should stop using state funds to help patients from other states get abortions.
Background
Abortion is legal in New Mexico at all stages, and many patients travel from neighboring states that ban it. State money currently supports some reproductive health services and clinics that serve those patients.
Right now our state funds out-of-state parties coming in to pay for those procedures here in the state. I don't think our taxpayers should be paying for that
New Mexico should allow counties to contract with the federal government to hold immigration detainees.
Background
A 2026 state law bars counties and other public bodies from contracting with ICE to detain immigrants, affecting facilities in three counties. The U.S. Justice Department has sued to block the law, and enforcement is on hold during the case.
New Mexico should use money from its permanent land grant fund to pay for housing.
Background
New Mexico's Land Grant Permanent Fund holds tens of billions of dollars from state land revenue and pays a set share each year to schools and other beneficiaries. Using it for housing would require a new distribution or change in how the fund is spent.
work with the State Land Office to explore building affordable housing units on state trust land ... open to asking lawmakers to divert money from New Mexico's permanent funds
New Mexico should ban the sale of semi-automatic rifles defined as assault weapons.
Background
New Mexico does not ban any category of semi-automatic rifle, though it has a waiting period and background checks for most gun sales. Bills to ban sales of these rifles have been introduced in the Legislature but have not passed.
New Mexico should require project labor agreements on state-funded construction projects.
Background
A project labor agreement sets wages, work rules and union hiring terms for a construction project before bidding. Requiring them would apply these terms to contractors on state-funded building and road projects.
