Following Representative Joseph Hernandez’s announcement that he is withdrawing from the upcoming general election, I want to thank him for his service to the people of House District 4. I wish Joseph and his family nothing but the best as they move forward, and I will continue keeping them in my prayers.
This campaign has always been about the people of House District 4 and ensuring they have strong, accountable representation in Santa Fe. My commitment to earning the trust of our district remains unchanged. I will continue traveling throughout our communities, listening to families, and sharing my vision for a stronger future for northwestern New Mexico.
I respect Joseph and his family’s request for privacy during this time. My focus remains on serving the people of District 4, earning their trust, and continuing the work necessary to represent our communities with integrity, dedication, and a strong voice in Santa Fe.
