2014

In an article in the Albuquerque Journal, Crowder said he ran for the following reasons:[1]

  • Excerpt: "As a Clovis City Commissioner, I have represented the same basic geographic area as District 64 for the past 10 years. I understand the major issues of the region — water is our No. 1 concern. Serving in several different capacities on water boards, authorities and commissions, including the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission, has provided a base of knowledge that I hope to draw from as a state representative. I also bring experience as a small business owner for 37 years and a Vietnam veteran. I have a basic understanding of the legislative process from serving at the local level."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Mexico

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
