Issue Position

Economy and Job Creation

Aiding the Unemployed

I am Working for average New Mexicans through Job Creation, Fair Wages, Small Business Tax Breaks and aiding our unemployed during current economic challenges.

I understand the enormous challenges facing the middle class and as a proud Democratic Senator representing district five I have sponsored and supported legislation for job creation, fair wages, small business tax breaks and I have worked tirelessly on behalf of the hard working men and women I meet everyday. I believe my record speaks for itself.

I wake up every day focused on the issues most central to the struggling middle class.

I have a clear vision for economic growth, investment in our state and nation for job creation which includes helping American business succeed. I commit to helping those who continue to find themselves unemployed. I do not work on behalf of America's top one percent or corporate interests.

As your Senator I will continue to battle on the Senate floor and beyond where, for me, the middle class come first.
