Democracy Wire

Here's where our priority legislation stands as we move into the second half of the session.

Several of our Common Cause New Mexico priorities will be in committee at the Roundhouse over the next few days, and we need your calls and emails to help advance these good-government measures.

House Majority Floor Leader Gail Chasey shepherded through HB1 with bipartisan input and support, including a provision to study legislative staffing and district offices.

The time to modernize our legislature is now.

In the final hours of the NM Legislative Session, several CCNM priority bills were passed, including SB 160 Judicial Public Financing, SB 304 Independent Redistricting, HB 231 Native American Polling Places, and HB 55 Capital Outlay Transparency! That, coupled with many wins earlier in the NMLEG, are detailed in our final Democracy Wire of the session!

There are several good-government and transparency-related bills that we need your help to pass during the final week of the session!
