With Trump collapsing federal protections for New Mexico’s clean air and water… it has never been more important to elect strong state leaders willing to fight for the Land of Enchantment. We’ve known Deb for decades and are so proud to support her vision to keep New Mexico healthy…and beautiful.

Nearly $5B in natural gas has been wasted since the Trump administration stopped enforcing methane rules last March. That’s lost energy, higher costs and more pollution — while corporate polluters get a free pass. Check out our methane waste counter ➡️
