PRIORITIES

• Bring better-paying jobs to our counties, which often don’t get the economic development resources that urban areas do.

• Fully fund public education, as is required by the 2018 Martinez vs.Yazzie decision, to ensure all students—especially low-income, Native American, English language learner (ELL), and students with disabilities— receive the opportunities they need to prepare them to be college and career-ready.

• Champion rural and tribal communities and elevate infrastructure to a top priority. Improvements in our roads and acequias; access to sewer and water; and equitable distribution of reliable, high-speed internet are necessities to the health, education, and prosperity of this district.

• Expand healthcare and social services, including funding mental health, addiction treatment, and domestic violence programs and supporting our veterans, youth, seniors, and elders as they age.
  

• Protect our natural resources for today and for our future, guaranteeing clean and safe drinking water for all and safeguarding the traditional and agricultural uses of water.
