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-NM-ACT-Virtual-Day-Of-Action
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. Please vote YES on HB 97 • Local governments are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of the people in their communities.

Legislative Update, Weekend, February10-11, 2018
Legislative Update, Weekend, February10-11, 2018 Awaiting Senate Action The General Appropriations Act, House Bill 2 is awaiting Senate action. As passed by the House, it will increase state spending by about $249 million over current levels – or roughly 4.1 percent. The Bill will be heard in the Senate Finance Committee. This committee is debating amendments. Most public employees have not received a pay raise since 2014; the budget passed by the House provides about $90 million in total compensation increases. Teachers would get a 2.5 percent pay raise, and starting teacher pay would go from $34,000 to $36,000 a year. Minimum pay levels for more experienced teachers would be raised as in Senate Bill 119 (see below). Other school employees would get a 2% raise. We hear this raise may yet be increased in the Senate so that all school employees would get 2 ½%. More than 10 percent of state spending — or nearly $643 million — would be set aside in cash reserves. In addition to the funding for public education, the budget fully funds Medicaid—the health insurance program for low-income kids, seniors, and those with disabilities—and child care assistance. A permanent change to teacher minimum salaries is on its way too. Two bills move us forward: (1) Senate Bill 11 sponsored by Senator Mimi Stewart and co- sponsored by Senators Gay Kernan and Bill Soules, will increase the minimum for each licensure tier for teachers as follows: tier 1: $36,000; tier 2: $44,000; and tier 3: $54,000. This measure received a unanimous do- pass in the Senate Education Committee last week and is on its way to Senate Finance Committee.
