Julie A. Radoslovich is running against incumbent Antonio "Moe" Maestas in the Democratic Primary for NM State Senate, District 26. She currently works as a Gifted Student Educator at South Valley Academy (SVA), where she also previously served as Principal/Director for 6 ½ years, leading the school’s expansion from 250 students in grades 9-12 to 630 students in grades 6-12. She also served as Head Teacher for 5 years and in instructor/educator roles for several years. Before joining SVA, she worked in policy analyst and legislative support roles at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Radoslovich is well-known for her volunteer and leadership experience focused on education policy/access and civil rights, including leading advocacy efforts to increase access to driver's licenses for undocumented New Mexicans as well as improving eligibility guidelines for the New Mexico Lottery Scholarship Program. She has also served on the boards of Encuentro, the Sofia Center for Professional Development, and Albuquerque Interfaith, as well as serving as President of the Pat Hurley Neighborhood Association, Ward and Precinct Chair for the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County, and as a member of the NM Teacher Evaluation Task Force.
She is motivated to run for Senate District 26 by her desire to enhance dialogue and partnerships within the community to determine solutions to challenges facing New Mexicans that are multidimensional and historically rooted. Her priorities include decreasing crime through increased mental health support, enacting constitutional gun safety reform, and codifying a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women task force in the state. Additionally, she supports prioritizing economic growth through policies such as affordable housing, paid family medical leave, and programs that help first time homebuyers. She also supports educational success through training programs and increased teacher pay as well as internship support and environmental protections through the development of carbon negative jobs and increasing accountability for polluters. Lastly, she also supports driver authorization cards irrespective of citizenship status based on her firsthand experiences at South Valley Academy where many of her students came from mixed-status families.
While we recommend Antonio 'Moe' Maestas for Senate District 26, Julie Radoslovich would also be a viable candidate based on her record of working in education, civil and human rights policies, and someone with broad and deep community involvement via both professional and volunteer experiences.

Bernalillo County Commission District 2 is an open seat this year as Stephen Michael Quezada is not running for re-election. Frank Baca and William Walker are running to represent this seat. We recommend Frank Baca.
