Linda Alvarez is running against Republican incumbent Jenifer Jones in the General Election for House District 32. Alvarez is a community advocate in Hatch, and previously worked as an executive assistant to the Commissioner for the Social Security Administration, and as a bilingual claims representative assisting retirees and survivors with their benefits. She was also instrumental in founding the state’s Mi Via Program, which creates pathways for New Mexicans with developmental disabilities to live independently. Alvarez is a graduate of Hatch Valley High School and the College of Santa Fe.
Her priorities include increased funding for schools and support for teachers, increased access to higher education and vocational training, incentives, support, and regulatory relief for small businesses, and enhanced law enforcement resources, community policing, and crime prevention programs. She has also pledged to support congressional term limits.
Jenifer Jones is running for re-election against Linda Alvarez for House District 32. During her time in the legislature, Jones has consistently voted against supporting New Mexican families including voting against Paid Family Medical Leave, requiring insurance companies to provide reimbursement for mental health services, protections for abortion and gender affirming care, raising the minimum wage to $15/hr, establishing clean energy fuel standards, expanding broadband access, establishing a waiting period for firearm purchases, and prohibiting firearms at state drop boxes and polling locations. Jones has also actively spread disinformation on healthcare access for LGBTQ+ individuals and would likely advocate for restrictions on gender affirming care, a decision that should be between an individual, their family, and their doctor.
We lean toward recommending Linda Alvarez for House District 32 based on her experience and stated priorities.
