Federal
Martin Heinrich is running for re-election to the US Senate. He has held the position since 2013, and serves as chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, chairman of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, and previously as chairman of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies subcommittee.
Previously, Heinrich represented New Mexico's 1st Congressional District from 2009-13 and also served as an Albuquerque City Councilor, and Council President, from 2004-08. He has also run his own public affairs firm, led a nonprofit focused on educating young people on the environment and science, served on the executive committee of the Sierra Club's Rio Grande Chapter, and was appointed by NM Governor Bill Richardson to be the state's Natural Resources Trustee.
Heinrich’s priorities include land conservation and protecting agriculture, ranching, and food systems, investing in infrastructure via rebuilding roads/bridges, expanding access to clean drinking water, and increasing high-speed internet access, protecting civil liberties and individual freedoms, expanding education, healthcare, and wellness programs, and leading efforts to grow jobs and the economy via renewable and clean energy.
His track record includes championing reproductive rights and healthcare – he advanced legislation protecting access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), contraception, and abortion, and co-sponsored Medicare-For-All legislation in 2017. He is a strong supporter of civil rights and was an original cosponsor of 2009 legislation to repeal the ban on gay marriage. Heinrich has advocated for and passed common sense gun safety laws, expanded health care access for veterans in both urban and rural areas, and led efforts to expand and invest in mental/behavioral services including specifically addressing the opioid/fentanyl public health crisis.
Heinrich is also well known for his work supporting clean/renewable energy jobs and protecting the environment and public lands. He co-sponsored the Green New Deal in 2019, which would establish net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and led efforts to establish Columbine-Hondo Wilderness in the Carson National Forest, the creation of the Rio Grande Del Norte and Organ Mountains Desert-Peaks National Monuments, creating the Sabinoso Wilderness, expanded public access to the Valles Caldera National Preserve, Passed the Great American Outdoors Act to address billions of dollars of deferred maintenance on public lands, and designating White Sands as a National Park.
Martin Heinrich is being challenged by Nella Domenici. Domenici is the daughter of former US Senator Pete Domenici, who served from 1973 to 2009. Previously, she worked as CFO for Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, and has also worked for Citadel and Credit Suisse. Domenici’s stated priorities include increasing oil and gas extraction while reducing regulations, spending more on border security and law enforcement, and lowering taxes. Additionally, on the topic of reproductive health, while she has labeled herself as moderate via TV ads, Domenici has donated close to $20K to extreme anti-abortion candidates, including Yvette Herrell and Mark Ronchetti in New Mexico, Adam Laxalt in Nevada, and her former Bridgewater CEO Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania.
We highly recommend Martin Heinrich for US Senate based on his clear and consistent record of protecting civil and individual rights, investing in infrastructure, spurring sustainable economic growth and renewable/clean energy jobs, and championing public lands and the environment, which are essential to New Mexico’s heritage, traditions, and economy.

Representante, Distrito 19 de la Cámara Estatal
Janelle Anyanonu is running for re-election in the General Election for House District 19. She has held the position since 2023 and currently serves as Vice Chair of the House Enrolling & Engrossing Committee and as a member of the House Commerce & Economic Development and House Government, Elections & Indian Affairs committees.
Anyanonu is well known for her strong commitment to community service, including with St. John’s Episcopal Church where she is a choir member, and as a dedicated advocate for reproductive health and affordable housing in New Mexico. She is a graduate of Manzano High School and Wayland Baptist University.
She is motivated to run for re-election to House District 19 by her desire to ensure that the diverse voices of her district are heard and represented in Santa Fe. Her priorities include reinforcing working families and securing affordable housing, fighting for safe neighborhoods by addressing the root causes of crime and social ills, supporting and creating good paying jobs, making healthcare affordable, and driving infrastructure improvements. She also seeks to expand youth employment programs and provide meaningful career opportunities for young people.
Anyanonu focuses on advancing data-driven, evidence-based solutions, and her track record includes sponsoring and supporting legislation aimed at protecting reproductive rights, increasing the minimum wage, and addressing crime and homelessness. She voted in favor of Paid Family Medical Leave, establishing the Higher Education Trust Fund and the Higher Education Program, reducing state income tax rates, establishing state clean energy standards, establishing a waiting period for firearm purchases, requiring health insurance companies to provide reimbursement for mental health coverage, expanding voting rights, and protecting abortion and gender affirming care.
Anyanonu is being challenged for House District 19 by Republican Leanna Derrick. While Derrick does have some positive policies, like investing in affordable housing and promoting water rights/conservation, her website primarily blames unhoused individuals and immigration for public safety issues, and includes language that aligns with “The Great Replacement,” which is a white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory. She also supports increased policing and offers little about how she would address the root causes of crime and public safety.
We highly recommend Janelle Anyanonu for House District 19 based on her deep community roots, proven track record in advancing legislation for New Mexico’s working families, and commitment to enhancing public safety, education, and healthcare.
