Judicial Public Financing (SB 160) and Redistricting Committee (SB 15) are among the bills we support that are nearing the finish line!

We need your help to ensure Ranked Choice Voting, Public Financing for District Court Races, Independent Redistricting and more cross the finish line!

For too long, redistricting has been overseen by partisan incumbents, let's enact independent redistricting to ensure a fair, transparent process, with meaningful public input and consideration!

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!

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.

"...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.
