Athena Christodoulou is running in the Democratic Primary for Senate District 21. Christodoulou is a retired Navy engineer veteran, and has also worked as a technology entrepreneur and consultant. She also served as the committee analyst for the NM House Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources committee during the 2023 legislative session, where she analyzed 40 different bills,
Her leadership and volunteer experience includes advocating for solar energy in all NM communities for years (she lives fossil fuel free herself, as a private citizen), and has also served as the political director for Adelante Progressive Caucus, including organizing members to make public comments in support of the Civil Rights Act, Paid Sick Leave Act, and salary increases for teachers. She has also served as secretary and board member of the New Mexico Solar Energy Association, as a community solar coach for the Department of Energy, and is currently the Vice Chair for the Environmental Justice caucus of the Democratic Party of New Mexico.
Christodoulou is motivated to run for Senate District 21 by her passion for climate issues and experience in the energy sector, including amplifying legislation for clean energy. Her priorities include environmental protections through continued support for the 2019 Energy Transition Act, and accountability in climate for clean air, water, and land. She also supports revisiting the Community Solar Act, forcing the closure of low producing wells, and expanding oil and gas reform.
Additionally, Christodoulou has previous experience as an educator, and supports strengthening public education in New Mexico through policies such as zero copays for educator health insurance plus increased pay for early childhood educators and childcare providers.
We highly recommended Athena Christodoulou for Senate District 21 based on her extensive experience in climate issues, energy advocacy, as well as her background in community organizing and entrepreneurship.
