Dear New Mexicans,
Â
Thanks to those of you who signed nominating petitions a few weeks ago to help candidates get on the statewide 2026 voting ballot. Will you please help now by doing any or all of the following?
Â
Please scroll below for info about these 3 ways you can help right now:
SIGN Larry Lead Marker's petition for US Senate (statewide)
SIGN petition for House of Representatives candidates (for your district)
Share info about the 27 districts (statewide) that currently have NO conservative candidates for NM House of Representatives
Â
NOTE: We are non-partisan and do NOT endorse candidates. Nonetheless, it is clear that conservative/Republican legislators are currently most likely to help solve NM's ongoing high crime, abysmal education system, and attacks on constitutional/parental rights.

1. PLEASE SIGN LARRY LEAD MARKER'S NOMINATING PETITION BY MID-MARCH
Although the general petition deadline for statewide offices has passed, Larry Lead Marker is a new candidate for Senator to represent NM in the USA Congress. If he is able to get on the ballot, Larry would be running against Democrat Congressman Ben Ray Lujan.Â
We do NOT endorse candidates, but Larry Lead Marker has been a stalwart ally in the NM freedom movement since 2020.
SIGN LARRY MARKER'S PETITION HERE BEFORE MARCH 15th: https://www.electronicpetitions.elections.sos.nm.gov/larry-marker
NOTE: You must be registered as a Republican to sign this petition. Unfortunately, if you previously signed the petition for Chris Vanden Heuvel (who did not collect enough signatures to qualify), you will not be able to sign Larry's petition.Â
2. PLEASE SIGN NOMINATING PETITIONS FOR NM HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE CANDIDATES BY EARLY MARCH!

ALL NM House of Representative Districts will be on the ballot this year. Candidates statewide are collecting nominating petition signatures to qualify to be on the voting ballot.Â
Some notable conservative candidates include:Â
Isabella Solis for District 37 in Doña Ana (D - Joanne Ferrary's district)
Julia Ruiz for District 36 in Doña Ana (to run against D - Nathan Small)
Ben Luna for District 53 in Doña Ana (to run against D - Sarah Silva)Â
Â
Candidates have to collect nominating signatures by March 9th. Please visit the website below, where you can log in to sign petitions for "State Representative."
Â
NOTE: You can only sign petitions for candidates with the same party affiliation as your voter registration.
