Rep. CHRISTINE CHANDLER
District 43
Los Alamos, Sandoval & Santa Fe Counties
I write to express my unequivocal endorsement of Matthew McQueen as the Democratic nominee for Commissioner of Public Lands.
The New Mexico Constitution assigns to the office the important responsibility of providing a strong and reliable revenue stream to support our public schools, hospitals and other public institutions.

Partisan posturing has been a turnoff to voters. Seeing Read More

If all has gone as planned, New Mexico has a new political party.
Official events to establish the Forward Party were scheduled to take place on May 8. On that day—within 30 days of its April organizing event as prescribed by law—the party was due to present its bylaws along with a sufficient number of signatures to the Secretary of State or a county clerk. According to chairman Bob Perls, the required number of signatures was about 3500 and they have more than enough. Party leaders have been working with the Secretary of State’s Read More
