Want to know what good-government bills are moving at the NM Legislative Session, then read on for a peek at what we're working on!

Public financing is one of the most effective ways to protect our judiciary from special interests and dark money, and also helps reduce conflicts of interest in the courtroom.

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.

We are happy to see the passage of SB8: LAW ENFORCEMENT BODY CAMERAS to hold police accountable and improve transparency. We will continue to advocate for bills similar to SB7: REDUCE INSTITUTIONAL RACISM after it faltered in the Special Session.
