Mark Ronchetti: Lowering taxes for small business will create jobs

Mark is a strong supporter of local small businesses, understanding they are the backbone of our local economy. Mark will fight for job-creating policies, such as lowering taxes for small businesses and eliminating senseless red-tape. Mark is also a strong supporter of our energy economy in New Mexico. Mark understands that a responsible energy economy in New Mexico creates thousands of good-paying jobs and funds 40% of our school funding.

Ben Ray Lujan: Unions built the middle class in our country

I was born into a proud union household--one that always understood that working people and unions built the middle class in our country. Throughout my tenure in Congress, and if elected to the U.S. Senate, I will pursue policies that support working people by directing investments into New Mexico and finding new ways to grow our state's economy.

Ben Ray Lujan: Raise the minimum wage, lower taxes for working families

I also believe in creating an economy that works for the American worker. Far too often, we've seen the deck stacked against workers who are trying to build a life for themselves in New Mexico. This is why I support raising the minimum wage, enacting tax policies that put more money back in the pockets of New Mexico's working families, and protecting the right to form unions and negotiate for better pay and benefits.
