I grew up in a family that faced generational poverty here in New Mexico, so I have an ambitious plan to reduce poverty in our state and support families.

1. Raise the minimum wage so that working people can support their families.

2. Pass Paid Family and Medical Leave so people don’t have to choose between their job and their health or the health of a loved one.

3. Join current efforts from House colleagues to push for universal basic income. Although it’s currently a pilot project with a select population in Albuquerque, we know that providing UBI helps New Mexico families with economic stability.
