§2Who they are
Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
His campaign website says he served in the U.S. Marine Corps, including as a combat veteran and a Recon Marine.2 It says he later served with the Albuquerque Police Department as a police officer and undercover detective, working against cartels, gangs and violent crime.2 It also describes him as a business owner.2
Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he is running to serve others before himself, and that the right solutions for New Mexico come from New Mexicans who live and work in the state rather than from Washington insiders or career politicians.2 It says the campaign is about restoring trust, strengthening communities and securing a better future for New Mexico's next generation.2

§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Agriculture and Rural Life
His New Mexico Farmers First plan says he will modernize the legal guest worker programs for agriculture, so farms can count on a legal workforce, and reduce the paperwork and costs of hiring legal farm labor.3
- Make the program easier and cheaper for farms, including for year-round work like dairy
- Keep the program as it is
- Raise required wages and worker protections
Environment and Public Lands
His New Mexico Farmers First plan says management of Mexican wolves and gray wolves should be handed to the people most affected by them, and that ranchers should be compensated if a federal program brings predators onto their property.3
His New Mexico Farmers First plan says he wants the Forest Service to give out grazing allotments that are now vacant, which it says would reduce wildfire fuel and keep ranching families on the land.3
His New Mexico Farmers First plan calls for vacant Forest Service grazing allotments to be assigned.3
Economy, Jobs and Trade
His New Mexico Farmers First plan calls for new export markets with allied countries and for trade policy that keeps New Mexico growers from being undercut by foreign products that compete on unequal terms.3
Family and Social Policy
His New Mexico Farmers First plan says farm policy and food assistance should each be debated on their own merits, and that food assistance should have more accountability and less waste so that help goes to families who rely on it.3
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§5Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
