Gerrymandering/Redistricting

During the 2021 session, Common Cause New Mexico is advocating for expanding public financing of judicial races, adopting ranked choice voting, expanding voter access, redistricting reform, shining a light on campaign contributions and spending, and more transparency around lobbying activities.

Common Cause has two major priorities for the 2021 legislative session: expanding public financing of judicial races and statewide ranked choice voting.

Our Executive Director, Heather Ferguson, sat down with Lorene Mills to discuss the challenges COVID-19 is presenting for our democracy -- from voting by mail to the census and redistricting.

"...When New Mexican communities are missing from the census, resources and political power for our communities get assigned to somewhere else — somewhere that already has more money, more privilege, and more power." - CCNM's Sydney Tellez.

Common Cause New Mexico finds support for a paid state legislature and a longer legislative session.
