  • 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.

INTRODUCTION 1. Plaintiffs bring this action against the Public Education Department and its Secretary-Designee, in her official capacity only, because Defendants have implemented a fundamental change in the manner in which teachers are evaluated in New Mexico. As detailed in this Complaint, that change is based on a fundamentally, and irreparably, flawed methodology which is further plagued by consistent and appalling data errors. As a result, teachers are being evaluated, and employment decisions made, based on a process that is, at best, arbitrary and capricious. 2. Due to the problems with the evaluation methodology detailed herein, Defendants have or are about to violate Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, violate the statutory authority under which they operate, and violate other provisions of law. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief. II. PARTIES, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE 3. Plaintiff the Honorable Senator Mimi Stewart is the elected Senator from District 17 (Bernalillo County).

    NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS POLICY RESEARCH CENTER October 6, 2020 Research Policy Update Native Vote Regional Report: Southwest Region The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Native Vote initiative is a non-partisan effort to promote American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) voter engagement throughout Indian Country. The purpose of this report is to share bi-weekly updates on the status of competitive elections during the 2020 election cycle in NCAI regions where turnout of the Native Vote many make a difference. NCAI Southwest Region – Voting Age Population For the 2020 election cycle, a number of close races have the potential to be impacted by the number of voting age AI/ANs who may vote, especially if they are a significant percentage of the total population in the state. The NCAI Southwest Region includes the states of Colorado and New Mexico. Twenty-six tribal nations have land within the Region. For the states in the Southwest Region, the AI/AN voting age population number and percentage of the overall population for the state is shown in Table 1. Table 1: AI/AN Voting Age Statewide Population Percentage for States in the Southwest Region State 2019 State Total 2019 AI/AN State AI/AN Voting Age Voting Age Total Voting Age Population Population Population Percentage Estimates Estimates Colorado 4,499,217 114,190 2.54% New Mexico 1,620,991 180,961 11.16% Source: 2019 Census Bureau, 2019 Population Estimates, Tables SCPRC-EST2019-18+POP-RES and SC-EST2019-ALLDATA5.
