Executive Branch

• Kamala Harris - President

• Tim Walz - Vice President

Congress

We rely on our Congressional delegation to bring New Mexico billions of dollars in federal funding for things like roads, broadband internet, and education. And we need strong legislators who will work with the president to fix our immigration system and secure the border. Here are the two Democratic Congressional candidates who will be on your ballot this November:

• Martin Heinrich - United States Senate

• Gabe Vasquez - United States House of Representatives - District 2

State Legislature

Many of the policies that affect us every day are actually laws passed at the state level. State legislators determine many things, including how much funding goes to our schools, how we treat our workers, and what steps we take to protect our environment.
