Guest Blog: Re-Elect Mary Jane Garcia for State Senate

This is a guest blog by Stephanie L. DuBois of Tularosa.

Senator Mary Jane Garcia (right), a Democrat from Dona Ana, NM who serves as Majority Whip, is seeking re-election to her Senate District 36 seat. Known in her district and around the state as the "working senator," Senator Garcia has sponsored and passed some of the most significant legislation we've had in the areas of protecting children from abuse, as well as protecting women from domestic violence. She was also instrumental in the passage of legislation to make human trafficking a crime.

Senator Garcia has a tremendous work ethic and is always willing to help. She doesn't know how to say "no," and the people of New Mexico reap many benefits from her efforts. Senator Garcia has received many awards in recognition of her superior service, including  The 2007 Milagro Award titled, "The Mary Jane Garcia Champion for Animals Award," The Spirit Award 2007 for her advocacy against domestic violence and the Outstanding Woman of New Mexico Award, presented by Governor Richardson and sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Women 2007.

Recent endorsements of Senator Garcia's candidacy include those from the National Education Association, AFCSME and EMILY'S LIST. These are very important endorsements from prestigious organizations to a very deserving Senator.

I encourage Democrats in NM Senate District 36 to vote in the June 3rd primary to keep Senator Mary Jane Garcia as our State Senator. To learn more or to sign up to support her re-election, visit Senator Garcia's campaign website.
