Priorities

New Mexico needs our own version of The American Dream—a place where every family has a safe home and neighborhood, every woman has freedom over her healthcare decisions, every child gets a world-class education, and all of us can afford the everyday goods and services we all need.

Cindy’s priorities includes:

  • Reduce crime through proven solutions. We must impose tougher sentences for repeat criminals and end catch-and-release for repeat and violent offenders. We must also address some of the biggest root causes of crime, starting with drug addiction and mental health. Finally, we must ensure police departments have the staffing, tools, and resources they need to fight crime.

  • Defend abortion access. Abortion access is not guaranteed in state law and is vulnerable to being banned if extremists take over the State Legislature.  Cindy will always defend abortion access and the rights of medical professionals to do their jobs and provide reproductive healthcare to all who need it. She will lead the fight to stop extremist Republicans from banning IVF and contraception.

  • Bring down everyday costs: Cindy will stand up to price gougers who are increasing the cost of everyday goods and services, from gas to food to housing, healthcare and prescription drugs.

  • Ramp up our public schools: Education is the top priority for Cindy because it created a pathway for opportunity and hope for her. Every child in New Mexico ought to be able to have the best early childhood programs; the best K-12 programs; and the best vocational, community college and university education in the nation. That means paying educators what they are worth, creating top-notch facilities for learning, and creating new ways for parents to be involved in their child's education.
