Issues and Priorities.
A liberty-first, free-market agenda focused on the pressures New Mexicans are dealing with right now.
Smaller government. More freedom. Real accountability.
I'm running to serve the people, not political interests. I care about whether policy works, whether it respects your rights, and whether the people making decisions can be held accountable for the results.

What New Mexico is signaling
The federal priorities shaping New Mexico.
Cost of living and inflation
Recent New Mexico polling put inflation among the top issues shaping federal votes, and families here feel it every time they buy groceries, fuel, or housing.
Border and immigration
Polling in southern New Mexico showed immigration and the border at the top of the list for many federal voters, especially in communities closest to the issue.
Crime and public safety
New Mexico's legislature has continued treating crime and public safety as a major challenge, which tells you voters are still asking for competence, accountability, and safer communities.
Health care and behavioral health
Legislative priorities in 2025 kept health care and behavioral health front and center, reflecting the pressure many New Mexicans feel around access, cost, and outcomes.
Water and infrastructure
Water planning, water infrastructure, and strategic supply remain major state-level priorities because they are long-term survival issues for New Mexico communities.
Economic diversification
State leaders continue warning that New Mexico cannot depend forever on the same revenue sources, especially with long-term concerns about volatility and growth.
Where I would focus in the U.S. Senate.
Lower the Cost of Living by Cutting Federal Waste
New Mexicans do not need more speeches about affordability. They need Washington to stop driving inflation, stop piling debt onto working families, and stop pretending every failure can be fixed with more spending. I support a smaller federal government, serious spending restraint, and a hard push against the kind of debt and monetary recklessness that quietly taxes every paycheck in this state.
Fix Immigration by Addressing Root Causes
New Mexico is a border state, and we live with the consequences when Washington refuses to build a system that works. We should focus on the root causes driving illegal immigration: a broken legal process and policies that make lawful entry harder than it should be. I support expanding lawful pathways, improving processing, and focusing enforcement on traffickers, cartels, and genuine public-safety threats instead of wasting money on symbolic crackdowns that leave the real problems untouched.
Target Violence While Expanding Restorative Justice
People want safe communities, real accountability, and better outcomes than a one-size-fits-all punitive system keeps delivering. I support going after violent offenders, traffickers, and repeat predators, while also expanding restorative-justice approaches where appropriate so victims can have a voice, offenders are required to repair harm, and communities are safer because the response is more honest and effective. At the federal level, that means supporting grants, reentry policy, tribal and local partnerships, and justice reforms that distinguish clearly between violent crime and peaceful conduct.
Put Patients and Doctors Back in Charge
Health care in New Mexico is too expensive, too bureaucratic, and too hard to access in too many communities. I support medical freedom, fewer federal barriers, and policies that let doctors practice and patients choose without being smothered by mandates and top-down control. I also think behavioral health has to be treated like a real priority instead of another talking point attached to another federal funding scheme with no accountability.
Defend Water, Property Rights, and Local Control
Water is not an abstract issue in New Mexico. It is a future issue. It is an agriculture issue. It is a property rights issue. And it is often made worse by distant federal decision-makers who do not live with the consequences. In the Senate, I would push back on federal overreach that makes water and land management harder, support practical infrastructure modernization, and defend the right of New Mexicans to have more say over the resources their families and communities depend on.
Open Up Opportunity Through Energy and Economic Freedom
New Mexico has talent, resources, and room to grow, but too much federal policy punishes production, distorts markets, and protects insiders. I support free markets, fewer barriers to work, stronger property rights, and an energy policy that allows innovation and production without turning every decision into a favor-trading exercise between Washington and its preferred interests. We need real economic freedom, not managed decline.
My positions always start with individual rights.
A liberty-first approach starts from a simple principle: government exists to protect rights, not to manage every peaceful decision in your life.
Health care freedom
Health care decisions should stay as close as possible to patients, families, and doctors instead of being dictated by distant politicians and federal bureaucracy.
Second Amendment rights
The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutional protection, not a privilege reserved for the politically connected or selectively enforced by government.
Criminal justice reform
Justice policy should separate violent crime from peaceful conduct, expand restorative approaches where they can repair harm, and stop relying on punitive systems that satisfy politics without making communities safer.
Cannabis policy reform
Cannabis policy should move away from crony regulation, excessive taxation, and other anti-freedom restrictions that punish peaceful choices and expand unnecessary government control.
Free markets and opportunity
Occupational licensing should not be used to block people from earning a living, starting a business, or entering a profession that should be open to honest work and market choice.
Worker freedom
Workers should not be forced to fund unions as a condition of employment, and labor policy should respect voluntary association, independent negotiation, and freedom of contract.
Civil liberties
Free speech, privacy, property rights, and due process are not negotiable side issues. They are the foundation of a free society.
