§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 campaign website lists advocating for New Mexico producers to have more access to federal farm support programs among his agriculture priorities.5
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website lists tax incentives for small business development in rural opportunity zones among its jobs priorities.6
Technology, Privacy and AI
His campaign website lists extending broadband and other infrastructure to rural towns, to connect them with today’s markets, among its jobs priorities.6
Energy and Climate
His campaign website lists promoting energy jobs, including nuclear power as well as oil, gas and solar, among its jobs priorities.6
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he will stand with law enforcement and give it the resources it needs. Its crime priorities include money for recruiting and training rural law enforcement officers and opposing efforts to defund the police.7
- Increase police funding, for example to hire more officers
- Keep funding near current levels
- Shift some police funding to mental health, housing or other services
Immigration
His campaign website says he will work to finish the border wall, and lists investing in surveillance and staffing where needed among its border priorities.8
- Build walls or fencing along much more of the border
- Add barriers only in selected places, relying mainly on technology and agents
- Build no new barriers and spend the money on other border security
His campaign website says he will work to reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy and lists reinstating Title 42 among its border priorities, describing both as Trump-era policies.8
His campaign website lists cracking down on sanctuary policies, which it says protect noncitizens who commit crimes, and supporting cooperation with sheriffs and local police in border communities among its border priorities.8
§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.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.9
| Raised | $605,834 |
|---|---|
| Spent | $561,082 |
| Cash on hand | $44,752 |
Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $0 supporting and $75 opposing Martin Zamora this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 23, 2026.10
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Working America | — | $75 |
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.
