Issue Position: Seniors

Issue Position

Michelle knows what it takes to support seniors.

From managing free legal services for the elderly in her first job out of law school, to improving the Aging and Long Term Services Department under three governors, to defending Social Security and Medicare in Congress, Michelle has fought for seniors over three decades. Between Congress and the campaign, she still prioritizes spending time caring for her mother Sonja; Michelle knows first hand the challenges that Seniors and those who care for them face. With a 65+ population set to double within the next 20 years, it's more important than ever that our next governor be prepared to meet these challenges. Michelle will continue to push to make quality home and community-based services available to every Senior, build out a health care infrastructure that provides statewide quality care and ensure that our public services are accessible to New Mexicans of all ages.
