Linda M. Lopez is running for re-election for Senate District 11. She has served in the legislature since 1997. Lopez owns a consulting business, Lopez Consulting, and works as a recruiter for Presbyterian Healthcare Services. Her volunteer and leadership experience includes serving as Chair of the Bernalillo County Democratic Party, President and Board Member of La Colmena, Inc., and on the board of directors for First Choice Community Health Foundation, Albuquerque Rape Crisis Center, and the TVI Foundation.
Lopez is motivated to run for re-election to Senate District 11 by her long history of commitment to progressive values, including protecting natural resources, ensuring educational equity, safeguarding healthcare and reproductive rights, and advocating for comprehensive immigration reform. Her priorities include protecting our water/air/land, continuing the work of equity in our public education system, providing health services to persons in our communities with disabilities, protecting reproductive rights for all, ensuring access for all to vote, continuing to work on issues impacting missing and murdered indigenous persons, and continuing to improve/restructure/properly fund CYFD to ensure the safety of New Mexico’s children.
In 2024, Lopez co-sponsored a bill to establish a waiting period for firearm purchases (HB129). In 2023, she sponsored the critical bill establishing protections for abortion and gender affirming care (SB13) and cosponsored that would establish negligently leaving a firearm accessible to a minor as a crime (HB9). In 2022, she sponsored three progressive policy bills, and co-sponsored two, including increasing the state minimum wage to $15 per hour (SB7 and in 2021, Lopez co-sponsored the repeal of an old state abortion ban (SB10).
Lopez has consistently voted for legislation that promotes workers' rights, including Paid Medical Family Leave, and has introduced bills aimed at controlling rent increases to tackle the high cost of living. Furthermore, Lopez has been a steadfast advocate for reproductive health, co-sponsoring significant legislation to ensure access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services across New Mexico. She has also voted to protect our natural environment, advance public education, support individuals with disabilities, and protect voting rights
We highly recommend Linda M. Lopez for NM State Senator District 11 because of her unwavering dedication to the values of compassion, dignity, equity, justice, and respect across a broad spectrum of critical issues.
