I am grateful to have had Tom Udall as my mentor in the practice of law.

Tom said people in our country should not live like this. We filed law suits in Dona Ana County and it worked for two reasons. The developers knew they would be held accountable and there was some serious reform of the New Mexico Subdivision Act.

As the people's lawyer, I will put my experience to fight for a better state for every New Mexican.

There's a perception that the attorney general's office is just for Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

About a year ago I realized I had developed a set of skills that could help our state, and I was raised that you give back to your community. I want to use my skills to help and protect the people of New Mexico.

It's instances like this that you realize that you can help the people of our state, not just protect them but really help them.
