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. -

2021 Municipal Day Legislation
2021 Municipal Day Legislation HOUSE BILLS HB 4 NM CIVIL RIGHTS ACT (Georgene Louis, Brian Egolf, Joseph Cervantes & Patricia Roybal Caballero) The House passed the House Judiciary Committee Substitute as amended on the House Floor this week, yet it still remains a chiefly-punitive measure without effect as to the behavior giving rise to risk, and as a result leaves significant gaps in our state for law enforcement training. The language in the substitute introduces a $2M cap, but limits the cap to each claim, allowing for multiple plaintiffs to leverage a shared event to stack the caps, or a singular plaintiff to use an individual occurrence to accomplish the same result via alleging multiple claims therein. [1] HSEIC/HJC-HSEIC [2] DP-HJC- DNP-CS/DP [4] fl/a- PASSED/H (39-29) [6] SHPAC/SJC-SHPAC HB 11 GRT & PERMANENT FUND FOR LEDA PROJECTS (Christine Chandler & Brian Egolf) The House Taxation and Revenue Committee substitute for House Bill 11 expands the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) in two ways and makes a $200 million one- time appropriation from the general fund to the renamed “local economic development recovery act fund” (the “LEDA fund,” previously the “local and regional economic development support fund”) for grants to certain businesses, to be administered by the Economic Development Department (EDD) and the New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA). The Senate Finance Committee amendment to the House Taxation and Revenue Committee substitute for House Bill 11 makes significant changes to the bill. These changes include: • Removes the bill’s permanent changes to the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) that would have allowed for state and gross receipts tax sharing for certain projects with construction costs greater than $350 million. -

Rio Grande Foundation Liberty, Opportunity, Prosperity New Mexico For Immediate Release For further Information, Contact: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Paul Gessing 505-264-6090 How did your Legislators Vote on Freedom during the 2014 Session? (Albuquerque) During the 2014 legislative session, the Rio Grande Foundation again tracked the floor votes of legislators and their impact on freedom within the Land of Enchantment. The information is available at: www.riograndefoundation.org with local information provided in separate links at the website as well. Said Rio Grande Foundation president Paul Gessing of the 2014 session in general, “New Mexico’s budget grew faster than it should have and the lottery scholarship fix left a lot to be desired, but no major harm was done to the taxpayer during the 2014 session. Hikes in the mandated minimum wage were killed as were myriad plans to increase the size and scope of government through the Constitutional process.” “The bad news,” noted Gessing, “is that no serious legislative efforts to reform New Mexico’s burdensome tax code, reduce regulatory burdens, increase school choice, or broaden transparency efforts were undertaken.” This is the second year in which the Rio Grande Foundation has tracked the floor votes of legislators and analyzed their impact on freedom in New Mexico. The following table indicates the votes of each legislator in a given area. Albuquerque Ranking within Respective District Legislator Freedom Percentage Total Score Body House 22 James E.
