On Tax Reform: Cut income tax & capital gains taxes

Sanchez believes that we need tax cuts to jumpstart the economy, create jobs, and grow hope and opportunity for every New Mexican. Cut the personal income tax: our current rate of 8.2% is outrageously high. Sanchez will fight to cut the personal income tax in New Mexico. Reduce the capital gains tax: this tax discourages out-of-state businesses from relocating to New Mexico. Sanchez supports a 5-year reduction of the capital gains tax to levels at our below our personal income tax rate.

On Energy & Oil: Oil & gas drilling in Otero Mesa

I will push the Bureau of Land Management to resolve the issues holding back drilling and exploration on Otero Mesa. I will insist that environmental standards are adhered to so to minimize the impact on local ranchers and the environment. The bottom line is that further oil and gas production in New Mexico will provide jobs and much needed tax revenue for our schools. Oil and gas revenues are taxed between 10% and 25% - providing millions of dollars in money that goes to our schools.
