ABQ NM Representatives Freedom Index Rio Grande Foundation Liberty, Opportunity, Prosperity New Mexico Albuquerque New Mexico 2013 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The Rio Grande Foundation Freedom Index examines legislation based on its impact on economic freedom and government growth. Numerical values are placed on each bill according to free market principles, regulations, taxation, government transparency, and other metrics. Legislators that vote against a bill that has a negative value gains the positive equivalent of that bill. Likewise, legislators who vote against a bill that has a positive value loses the value associated with that bill. Each legislator’s House or Senate floor votes is tallied from each relevant bill’s numerical value and determines the legislator’s overall index score. The results allow us to see whether a certain legislator, in total, supported or opposed economic freedom and to what degree. How do the Albuquerque legislators compare with the rest of the state?

  • 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.

    DISABILITY ISSUES IN THE 2015 LEGISLATURE STATUS REPORT #6 Jim Jackson, Executive Director Disability Rights New Mexico March 2, 2015 Coming Events: Mar. 11 – Behavioral Health Day at the Legislature House sends state budget bill to Senate. After lengthy debate, the House passed the state budget bill on a vote of 42-25 and sent it on to the Senate. Democrats proposed a package of amendments to the bill, primarily aimed at eliminating some educational initiatives sought by the governor and moving the money for those programs into the funds that are allocated to school districts statewide through the funding formula. The proposed amendments failed on a party-line vote. Potential Senate amendments to the budget bill will be considered in the next week or two by the Senate Finance Committee. Break on through to the other side. Several bills we are following are now half-way through the legislative process, having cleared their first chamber. Senate bills passed this week by the Senate, which will now go through the process of House committee hearings, include: • SB 216, requiring an annual report on the DD waiver and waiting list • SB 42, prohibiting HSD from terminating Medicaid eligibility while an individual is in jail. • SB 43, authorizing court-ordered outpatient treatment for certain persons with mental illness who are predicted to deteriorate without such treatment. This bill was passed by the Senate on a 30-11 vote after extensive debate. HB 222, authorizing Community Engagement Teams to reach out to persons with mental illness and link them with community services, passed the House 57-0 and has moved on to the Senate.
