Ladies and gentlemen, fellow New Mexicans, and esteemed guests,
Today, I stand before you to introduce a remarkable candidate who embodies the spirit of service, resilience, and community. Audrey Trujillo, a native New Mexican and a 25-year resident of Sandoval County, has stepped forward to represent us in the New Mexico Senate District 9. Let us delve into Audrey’s vision, values, and commitment to our great state.
1. A Strong Foundation Audrey Trujillo’s roots run deep in our New Mexican soil. As a small business owner, wife, and mother, she understands the challenges faced by everyday families. Her journey—from Corrales to the heart of our state’s political landscape—reflects her unwavering dedication to making a difference.
2. Conservative Activism and Advocacy Audrey is not just a candidate; she is a tireless advocate. Her commitment to conservative principles has led her to organize community events, raise awareness about detrimental bills, and testify against legislation that could harm our citizens and our way of life. Audrey’s voice echoes the concerns of everyday New Mexicans, and she is ready to amplify those voices in the Senate.
3. Priorities for Progress a. Education and Workforce Development Audrey recognizes that education is the cornerstone of progress. She will champion policies that ensure equitable funding for schools, support our educators, and prepare our students for the challenges they face.
4) 2BA, MA Graduate University of NM.- Priorities for Progress
a. Education and Workforce Development
Audrey recognizes that education is the cornerstone of progress. She will champion policies that ensure equitable funding for schools, support our educators, and prepare our students for the challenges of the future. Vocational training, STEM education, and apprenticeships will be at the forefront of her agenda. - Audrey Trujillo’s candidacy is not about party lines; it’s about people. She seeks to bridge divides, listen to constituents, and create a New Mexico that thrives for generations to come.
- Audrey understands the importance of accessible healthcare. She will work tirelessly to expand access, address the opioid crisis, and promote preventive measures. Healthy citizens contribute to a vibrant state, and Audrey is committed to their well-being.
Our state’s economic well-being is Audrey’s priority. She will advocate for policies that promote local businesses, invest in infrastructure, and create a thriving workforce. Audrey believes that a strong economy benefits every New Mexican, from the bustling cities to the serene rural landscapes.
underprivileged and vulnerable. Empathy for people along with being fiscally responsible are important strengths I have. I can work and empathize with almost anyone. Working on common goals and uniting people has always been my strength.
Collaboration and Cooperation: When legislators establish relationships, they can work together more effectively. Cooperation across party lines can lead to better policy outcomes for the public.
Information Sharing: Relationships allow legislators to share information, insights, and expertise. This exchange helps them make informed decisions and address complex issues.
Negotiation and Compromise: Strong relationships facilitate negotiation and compromise. Legislators who trust each other are more likely to find common ground and reach consensus.
Legislative Productivity: Building relationships enhances legislative productivity. It enables legislators to pass bills, amend existing laws, and address constituents’ needs efficiently.
Coalitions and Alliances: Forming alliances with other legislators can amplify their influence. Coalitions can advocate for shared goals and amplify their collective impact.
There's also the Senate Judiciary Committee that I would be interested in which is the last committee every bill has to go through before the floor.

Fair Elections Audrey cares about making sure the best possible measures are in place to ensure a fair election experience for every legally registered voter involved. Audrey will make sure all security details and arrangements are made so voters can focus on voting for their candidates of choice. Audrey will make every effort to understand the exact changes and needs of our county clerks in every district, so that voting is fun and enjoyable. It is a fundamental right and privilege to vote for our elected officials in this country. It is the job of the Secretary of State to ensure that right is protected.
The office of the NM Secretary of State is the official record keeper of New Mexico. New Mexico Rules and Constitution will be implemented to insure fair, legal, and secure elections. Every legal vote will be counted and every secure measure will be put in place to protect voter rights and integrity of the process.
Every eligible voter should be able to vote and never be burden of any costs for this right. If there is a financial need in the future to secure an identification card to vote, Audrey Trujillo will ensure that you will be able to have access. The Department of Motor Vehicles will be consulted on the best way that we can implement a secure measure without burdening anyone who financially cannot secure an ID.
Over 70% of Americans support voter integrity laws. Guess who doesn't support? The answer is obvious, those who do not want to lose power and want to undermine the integrity of the electoral process. It's all about political power at the expense of our citizens. Currently we see the weaponization of the voter laws and rules during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using all tactics and emergency orders, our current administration secured their elections for at least a 100 years. The current administration has taken this straight out of the Jim Crow Laws. Currently roughly $52 million was spent on software and voter counting machines, more money spent than way more populated states. When elected, Audrey will make sure that those machines are not used to manipulate another election. She will also push for changes in the rules to limit absentee voting to only disabled, elderly, military and voters who are temporarily out of the state on business. Audrey is also dedicated to cut the bureaucratic tape that makes it difficult to clean up voter rolls. Each county clerk will be given the tools necessary to protect their voter precincts from fraud and confusion. As your Secretary of State, Audrey will be dedicated to cutting all the bureaucratic tape that limits transparency in our elections. Our votes are sacred and need to be held to the highest standards.[2] |
