    Animal Protection Voters-‐Political Action Committee Issues 2016

    Animal Protection Voters-Political Action Committee Issues 2016 Primary and Early General Election Endorsements for New Mexico Legislature Voters are urged to support the candidates who will do the best job of standing up for the protection of animals in their districts. Santa Fe, N.M. – Animal Protection Voters (APV), the leading political and legislative advocacy organization for animal protection in New Mexico, works via APV-PAC, its political action committee, to support humane candidates for elected office. APV-PAC announced today its endorsement of 19 candidates facing contested races in the primary election on June 7, and early endorsement of 56 candidates seeking election or re-election in the general election on November 8. Incumbents won endorsements for consistently showing animal advocacy and leadership through votes and other actions in the state legislature. New challengers and candidates received endorsements based on their past activity involving animal issues, as well as their responses to a questionnaire on topics including wildlife protection, anti-whistleblower legislation, horse slaughter and funding for animal-related programs. APV-PAC endorsement decisions emphasized two APV priority bills expected to be reintroduced in the 2017 legislative session: a ban on coyote killing contests, and a ban on traps and poisons on public lands. A growing majority of New Mexicans oppose traps and killing contests as unethical and ineffective wildlife management and a danger to public safety. “Most New Mexicans support stronger animal protection laws, and we are delighted to endorse a diverse, bipartisan slate of candidates who will represent the humane vision and values of their constituents,” said Jessica Johnson, Chief Legislative Officer for APV.

    Legislative Asks This year, we are asking lawmakers to help us fight for a healthier New Mexico. This document will guide you through our 2 priority asks for 2021. You probably won't be able to cover all four asks in your meeting/phone call. Start with the area you are most passionate about. Remember to include your personal story! Increase the tax on tobacco products to prevent kids from smoking, help current users quit and raise state revenue. ASK: Please vote to increase the tax on cigarettes by $2 per pack with an equivalent increase in other tobacco products. Vote YES on HB# , SB# . • Significantly raising the tax on tobacco has been proven to stop kids from smoking before they start. What's more, it will save nearly $522 million in health care costs and save the lives of more than 6,600 New Mexicans. • A $2/pack increase in the cigarette tax with an equivalent increase on other tobacco products: o Will prevent more than 9,400 kids from starting to use tobacco: and o Will generate $13 million in new revenue to save critical state programs; and is supported by 81% of New Mexico voters according to recent polls. Local Control or Preemption ASK: Please vote to repeal existing tobacco preemption in the New Mexico Tobacco Products Act in order to allow local governments to adopt their own laws in the most effective ways for their communities.

    New Mexico Legislators Guide to Rural Transportafion

    New Mexico Legislators Guide To Rural Transportation Purpose: The purpose of this educational material is to increase legislative awareness of Regional Planning Organization (RPO) structure, jurisdiction, membership, and rural transportation related needs across the state of New Mexico. New Mexico Association of Regional Councils (NewMARC), is focused on providing clear, concise, and consistent information to establish a solid understanding of goals, objectives, and results of RPO’s. RPO in a nutshell A Regional Planning Organization (RPO) is a collaborative between: New Mexico Association of Regional Councils (NewMARC) New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Local and Tribal Governments NMDOT contracts with NewMARC to manage RPO’s which deliver: A local prioritization of transportation related projects. A forum for communication and discussion on transportation related, policies, issues, and training opportunities. A network for technical assistance on transportation related funding sources and cycles. The core strength of the RPO structure is the voting membership from local governments including municipal, county, and tribal governments. The RPO membership consists of a wide range of professions, including engineering, planning, public works, community development, and elected officials. A Chairman and a Vice Chairman are elected by the voting membership in order to conduct official meetings and provide leadership to the organization. RPO’s abide by organization bylaws and comply with the Open Meetings Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and offer a Public Comment period at each official meeting. RPO Jurisdiction and Funding Scenario New Mexico RPO jurisdictions are an overlay of 6 NMDOT districts, 7 NewMARC districts, and 7 RPO districts. This jurisdictional alignment requires a diverse set of meeting and staffing related solutions in order to maintain RPO deliverables.
