§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.
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says he would introduce legislation requiring federal agencies to decide on permits to drill on federal land within a set time, with a permit treated as approved if the agency misses the deadline.5
His campaign website says more than half of New Mexico's oil and gas production happens on federal land and that federal lease pauses and permit delays put state revenue for schools at risk.5
Immigration
His campaign website says he would tie Homeland Security funding to measures of full border surveillance and interdiction, and would vote against nominees who do not support enforcing immigration laws and completing border infrastructure.6
His campaign website says New Mexico policies that block cooperation with federal immigration authorities make it harder to remove dangerous offenders.6
Environment and Public Lands
His campaign website says he would defend grazing rights and access to working land, and would challenge federal agency enforcement and permitting actions that it says harm farmers and ranchers.7
§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.

§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.
Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Larry E Marker at efdsearch.senate.gov9.
