A bit about me
I have worked as an EMT/Paramedic in the Albuquerque area; advocating and helping people in need of all backgrounds, all colors, and all cultures for 13 years. My experience and skills with listening and showing empathy helping people solve problems are what makes me the best candidate to represent House District 19 in Santa Fe.
Why I'm running for office
A duty to act is a principle that Paramedics and EMTs live by. When a situation presents itself where we feel we can help, we are obligated to step in and act. That is why I am running for New Mexico House of Representatives District 19. From 2008 to 2021 I served our communities as an EMT/Paramedic on an ambulance, responding to 911 calls and transporting patients between medical facilities. I’ve seen our neighbors at their most vulnerable and have always done my best to help. I see running for House District 19 as an opportunity to do more for our community than I could ever do as a Paramedic. As someone who lives, works and volunteers in the International District I believe I am the best candidate to represent our communities at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe.
We Need Your Support
I want to represent the people of District 19, and we need your support. Please consider donating $5, $10, $27, or more so we can continue uplifting New Mexican voices.
