SB 180, sponsored by Sen. Katy Duhigg, Sen. Leo Jaramillo and Rep. Gail Chasey, will result in more efficient and secure elections according to Common Cause New Mexico. The bill was passed by the NM House today and is headed to the Governor.

The election administration clean-up bill supported by the NM Secretary of State will help make our elections more accessible, efficient and secure.

A modern legislature enjoyed support from Democrats, Republicans and independents.

The public is at a disadvantage in the final weeks of the election when contributions and expenditures are delayed in being reported.

The public supports bills that would help level the playing field and reduce the influence of paid lobbyists on state government.

Modernizing the legislative process, with more staff, longer sessions and compensation for legislators is the top priority for Common Cause in the upcoming 60-day NM Legislative session.
