Linda Trujillo is running in the Democratic Primary for Senate District 24. She is a licensed attorney in the State of New Mexico and previously served in the NM House of Representatives from 2017-2020. Trujillo also served on the Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education from 2011-2017, and was honored as School Board Member of the Year by the New Mexico School Boards Association, where she served as president.
Trujillo’s drive to run for office is rooted in her personal experiences with financial uncertainty, food insecurity, and healthcare challenges alongside her 25+ years of experience working in education and public administration. Her priorities include championing policies and financial resources that ensure equitable funding for K-12 education, establish robust career and technical education programs, expand healthcare access in both urban and rural communities, and foster high-wage economic opportunities for all.
During her previous two terms in the legislature, she sponsored and cosponsored legislation to modernize elections and increase accessibility, create the Early Childhood Education and Care Department, and remove barriers for individuals 65+ years of age to attend higher education courses. Additionally, Trujillo led the development of the regulatory framework for adult-use cannabis, demonstrating her ability to collaborate effectively with community stakeholders and policymakers, and during her term of service as State Representative, sponsored and voted for legislation to support environmental issues including HB 93 and 291 – Efficient Use of Energy Act Changes.
Trujillo supports closing deportation centers, is committed to supporting legislation that ensures prohibiting discrimination of LGBTQ individuals, supports access to reproductive healthcare, prioritizes expanding access to substance disorders and mental healthcare providers, and supports abolishing the rent control ban while calling for NM to take action to limit gentrification. She also supports common sense gun safety, and has outlined a five step plan to reverse the trend of police violence in our communities.
While we recommend Veronica Krupnik for Senate District 24, Linda Trujillo is also a viable candidate based on her record of supporting education, healthcare access, and the environment.
