The Democratic Party of Cibola County hosted a packed house for the Democratic Candidate Forum last night at El Cafecito in Grants, New Mexico. Congressman Gabe Vasquez was also present as our guest speaker! It was great to meet and hear from the candidates. I certainly appreciate the time and space to talk with the group.

Thank you, Thoreau and surrounding area visitors for stopping by yesterday's Meet & Greet under the trees at the Chapter House. I loved seeing new friends, old friends, and relatives.

One of the greatest things we can give one another is encouragement. Phefelia Nez has been an encouraging mentor since the day I met her. Her love for the people, animals, and land are admirable. She has brought awareness and advocacy for the importance of healthy families, early childhood education, and animal welfare (just to name a few). I am honored to have her official endorsement. Thank you, Phefelia Nez!

I am thrilled to have the support of my former Head Start Teacher, Mary Ann Mexicano. Mary Ann will always hold a special place in my heart because it's people like her who make meaningful life-long connections with children and always encourage them to do their best. Thank you, Mary Ann & family!

MEET & GREET IN LAKE VALLEY, NM
April 14, 2024

Growing up my grandmother taught me the importance of K’é / clanship. She would remind me that as long as I knew my clans I would find relatives anywhere. Today, I was reminded of her words as we visited Lake Valley and found clan relatives. We had a good time during our meet & greet cookout and enjoyed the conversations about the area, needs, and excitement for new representation. Ahe’hee, Lake Valley family for embracing us and spending the day with us. Thank you to all our volunteers 🙌🏽 who helped today.

Also, on the way home we stopped by Pablo’s Corner in Crownpoint to indulge in some delicious fry bread. Ahe’hee Tyle, Marshlene & Uncle Pablo for the quick visit.

REMEMBER: Early Voting Starts on May 18, 2024. Primary Election Day is JUNE 4, 2024.

Our visit to Ojo Encino was great! We met community members who expressed excitement about new representation in this race that truly understands the rural lifestyle on Navajo Nation. We also heard from the Ojo Encino Chapter leadership about the successes they’ve had as a Certified Chapter but also the complex jurisdictional challenges they face. Being a law trained professional, I know first hand just how important jurisdiction is when you’re at the table making plans and advocating for resources. The biggest concern was Road 474 and its brutal condition. I can’t believe it’s been ignored for so long! Let’s find a way to get it done, no more excuses. Thanks for the hospitality, Ojo Encino.

REMEMBER: Early Voting Starts on May 18, 2024. Primary Election Day is JUNE 4, 2024.

Next stop, Lake Valley on Sunday!
