"We need to make sure that we’re not just looking at dollars on a spreadsheet, but we’re looking at … the value of being able to go out in the outdoors and explore the outdoors,” Sanchez said.

It was great to join folks in Las Cruces for this forum.

(1/2) Today we honor all who have served, those whose courage has protected our nation and our way of life here in NM.
Our state has one of the highest percentages of veterans in the country, from the Navajo Code Talkers to the brave New Mexico National Guard at Bataan. 🇺🇸

Yesterday started with a NICU stop to check in on Eliana, then to Española and Taos, and back to the NICU. Politics and especially the NICU are not for the faint of heart. I am blessed to have my little family, friends, and supporters across our state who keep me going.

Steve Pearce is a dangerous choice to run the Bureau of Land Management. He was part of the “Anti-Parks Caucus” in Congress, tried to weaken the Antiquities Act, make it easier to sell public lands, and even opposed National Park designation in his own district.

(1/2) Last month the Trump Administration was looking out for Argentinian soybean farmers over American farmers, and now they are encouraging the buying of Argentinian beef, after cutting billions in aid that benefited American ranchers and farmers.

Today tens of thousands of New Mexicans expressed our first amendment right to freedom of speech and assembly.
If elected, I will fight against federal government overreach as this administration continues attacks on our public lands that belong to 'We the people'. #NoKings #publiclands

Thanks to the Cibola County Federation of Democratic Women for letting me join you all earlier this week to discuss my run for Land Commissioner.
It's always great to make it out to Grants and see the natural beauty Cibola County has to offer!

(1/2) I'm thrilled to announce that I have been endorsed by Climate Cabinet Action! If elected Land Commissioner, I will continue to fight for our land, our air, and our water today and for future generations.

It was great to join thousands of New Mexicans today who came out to rally and march for the "Workers Over Billionaires" Labor Day event.
Thank you to all the organizers for putting on an amazing demonstration with a huge turnout!

(1/3) Labor Day is not just a day off, it's a commemoration of the hard won gains and ongoing struggles of the labor movement.
I know what that fight looks like. Growing up my stepdad was the president of the local Machinists Union, and I spent parts of my childhood on the picket line.

We won the last battle on Republicans’ efforts to sell off public lands–but the fight isn’t over.

@juansanchez-nm.bsky.social understands that. We’ve fought to protect our public lands together before and I know he’ll continue to do so as your next Land Commissioner.
OPINION: A win for New Mexico's public lands — but the fight isn't over
In New Mexico, our land is more than just open spaces, it’s who we are and essential to our way of life. That’s why thousands of New Mexicans raised the

"These lands aren’t just lines on a map. They’re places where we hunt, fish, camp, graze cattle, gather firewood and learn from elders... they are the heart of New Mexico’s cultural identity.

It takes a village.
I am proud to be from Valencia County and am grateful for my community that has always shown up and now is showing up supporting my campaign for Land Commissioner!
These folks have known me since I was a mocosito called 'Juanito'. This community helped raise me.

✅ Gallup, New Mexico

Yesterday I was able to talk with the McKinley County Dems . Such a great group of people who care deeply about their land and water, and want to do everything necessary to protect it.

3 days, 3 campaign stops. I am so grateful for the support I am getting and the enthusiasm I am seeing about protecting and preserving our public lands.

Thanks to the Democratic Party of Sandoval County for having me. From Bernalillo to Cuba, Sandoval county is filled with some of NMs most beautiful places. Protection of our lands and waters is essentially to keep special places in Sandoval County pristine for generations to come.
