What steps do you believe should be taken to improve New Mexico's economic competitiveness?

We strengthen competitiveness by investing in people鈥攅ducation, workforce training, affordable healthcare, public safety, and modern infrastructure. We should attract businesses in clean energy, support startups and small businesses, strengthen partnerships with the labs, bases, & universities, tie incentives to living-wage jobs, strong labor standards, and long-term community and environmental responsibility.

New Mexico is the only state that does not pay its legislators a salary, though lawmakers do receive per diem payments and can qualify for a legislative pension. Do you support or oppose the proposed constitutional amendment calling for a new legislative salary tied to the median family income level?

I support this amendment. Paying legislators a fair salary tied to median family income opens the door for young people, working families, and more diverse voices to serve鈥攏ot just the wealthy or retired. A people-powered democracy requires a legislature that reflects New Mexico, and that starts with making service accessible.

With New Mexico now the nation鈥檚 second-highest oil producing state, would you support or oppose changes to the state鈥檚 gross receipts tax and personal income tax structures? Please explain. 

I support restructuring our tax system to put people first. We should cut the GRT on healthcare and provide targeted income tax relief for low-income earners and seniors, while exploring targeted guaranteed basic income. We can offset this by ensuring wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share.

Would you support or oppose imposing water use limits on data centers? In addition, would you generally support or oppose banning data centers in New Mexico? 

I support strict water limits and community benefit requirements for any industry. Given our water crisis, I oppose data centers until technology reduces water use, emissions, and pollution, and companies deliver real jobs, community buy-in, and accountability. Resources are for the people and should not be exploited for unsustainable development.

Amid a recent string of high-profile criminal cases involving juvenile defendants, do you support or oppose imposing stricter sentences for adolescents convicted of certain violent crimes? 

I oppose stricter sentences for youth. Our system already allows accountability when necessary. We should focus on prevention: violence intervention, mentorship, after-school programs, and strong family supports. Treating root causes keeps communities safer than harsher punishment and gives young people a real chance to change their path.

Would you support or oppose a ban on selling certain types of firearms, including semiautomatic firearms and machine guns? 

I support. In New Mexico, over 500 people die from gun violence each year, gun deaths have increased by roughly 45鈥�59% over the past decade, and we have one of the highest gun death rates in the nation. Banning certain firearms is a data-driven, common-sense step to save lives.

Do you support or oppose using New Mexico鈥檚 National Guard to assist local law enforcement with issues related to public safety? 

I oppose using the National Guard for routine public safety. It risks escalation, puts civilians and Guard members in harm鈥檚 way, and can be misused as we see under the Trump administration. We should invest in community-based solutions, trained civilian responders, and joint law enforcement capabilities to keep people safe.

What changes would you propose to improve New Mexico鈥檚 Children, Youth and Families Department? 

A culture shift at CYFD, centered on children and families. Prioritizing keeping kids safe, home when possible, with resources for support & prevention, and reunification when appropriate. Invest in staff: training, support, manageable caseloads, and retention. Strengthen oversight and stop retaliation while expanding services that stabilize families and protect children.

What steps should be taken to bring New Mexico into compliance with the 2018 court ruling that found New Mexico is failing to provide a sufficient education to all students? 

The state must adopt a comprehensive, community-driven plan to fully fund and transform public education, addressing inequities facing low-income students, Native American communities, English learners, and students with disabilities. This plan must be developed with impacted communities, ensuring culturally relevant, adequately resourced schools that fulfill every student鈥檚 constitutional right.

New Mexico has seen a string of devastating wildfires and floods in recent years. What policy steps, if any, should the state take to address these natural disasters? 

We must invest in data-driven mitigation: forest thinning, watershed restoration, and resilient infrastructure, while elevating Indigenous land stewardship practices. Strengthen emergency response, fund community preparedness, collaboration with the Feds, and hold polluters accountable. Climate-driven disasters require proactive, science-based, and culturally informed solutions that protect lives, land, and long-term sustainability.

Would you support or oppose a paid family and medical leave program that would require most employees and employers to pay into a state-run fund? 

Support PFMLP & fund. It鈥檚 good for workers, families, and businesses鈥攈elping people care for loved ones without risking their livelihood. It improves retention, strengthens our workforce, and creates a stable economy where working families can thrive.

Have you or your business, if you are a business owner, ever been the subject of any state or federal tax liens? 

A tax lien was placed on me in error from California, they assumed I was still stationed there but actually stationed and living in Florida. This lien was released with no taxes or fees due and recorded as an error on the part of the state of California.

Have you ever been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of drunken driving, any misdemeanor or any felony in New Mexico or any other state? If so, explain. 

Yes. Before joining the military at age 18, I was charged with conspiracy menacing but the charges were dropped.

Have you ever been involved in a personal or business bankruptcy proceeding? 

No
