Issue Position

New Mexico's energy economy is critical to getting our economy back on track. Crystal recognizes the value of a strong, stable oil & natural gas industry as the leading contributor to the state budget and critical job creator.

As a landowner, she respects science and understands the importance of keeping our watersheds healthy. Crystal supports efforts to reduce wildfire risk by thinning overstocked stands to create shaded fuel breaks and increase wildlife habitat, increasing livestock grazing opportunities, and supporting increased funding and guidance to reduce or eliminate hazardous fuels in forested lands of New Mexico. She supports responsible use of our forest, range, cropland, and pasture to support industries including farming & ranching, hunting & outfitting, timber harvest & energy transmission.
