Nella Domenici in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites
On Abortion:
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare, but limited
Nella believes abortion should be safe, legal, and most importantly rare. She opposes any federal abortion ban. While Nella is focused on supporting women and preventing unwanted pregnancies to reduce abortions meaningfully,
Martin Heinrich has consistently voted to allow abortions up to the moment of birth at taxpayer expense--even opposing legislation requiring life-saving care to be provided to a baby who survives an abortion. His views are extreme on this issue.

On Crime:
Back law enforcement with support and resources
Heinrich has repeatedly undermined the rule of law, undermined our police, and supported soft-on-crime prosecutions and bail laws. Nella will back law enforcement, making sure they have the support and resources they need to be successful. She will
also seek justice through interventions before crimes occur by addressing addiction, mental health, poor education, and economic factors that can lead to crime. She will also support measures to promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism rates.

On Crime:
Enforce laws so violent offenders face dire consequences
Nella supports enforcing our criminal laws so that violent offenders understand they will face dire consequences for harming others. Our efforts to stop violence should be focused on gangs and cartels in cities where most homicides occur.
In addition to enforcement, we can mitigate the underlying causes of violence by reducing drug addiction and improving our education system and job opportunities. Nella supports intervention for at-risk youth before violence occurs.

On Energy & Oil:
Will support an all-of-the-above approach to energy
Energy in America should be reliable, affordable, and enable American energy independence. New Mexico is well-positioned to emerge as the leader in all types of energy. Nella will support an all-of-the-above approach to energy,
while ensuring that the transition to renewable energy is sensible, orderly and achievable. Energy security is critical to our national security; it is far cleaner, safer, and cheaper to utilize the energy resources we have at home.

On Government Reform:
Against never-ending regulations imposing costly compliance
Together with Joe Biden, they have blocked new leases on New Mexico's federal lands, increased royalty payments, and passed never-ending regulations that impose costly compliance. Biden and the radical left would rather beg for oil from dictators with
terrible environmental records and egregious human rights violations, as well as an anti-America agenda than support our domestic oil and gas industry. Heinrich wants mandates on what kind of appliances you can buy and cars you can drive.

On Guns:
Oppose unconstitutional laws violating the Second Amendment
Nella supports the Second Amendment and the right of law-abiding citizens to "keep and bear arms." Nella will oppose unconstitutional federal legislation that violates the Second Amendment. In stark contrast, Heinrich has sponsored unconstitutional
legislation that would take away the rights of hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans to purchase and own many common firearms used for self-defense, hunting, sport shooting, or collecting. Nella understands that gun ownership is not the problem.

On Immigration:
Erect physical barriers; reinstate "Remain in Mexico"
We must immediately secure our border. We must adequately fund the Border Patrol. We must erect physical barriers and provide the Border Patrol with the state of the art equipment and technology. We must reinstate "Remain in Mexico," end
catch and release, and end the abuse of the asylum process. As a nation of immigrants, we understand the contributions and value of immigration. But immigrants must follow our laws and the legal immigration process.

She will protect taxpayers from wasteful spending

On Foreign Policy:
The Israel-Hamas war is as much ours as it is Israel's
The Israel-Hamas war is as much ours as it is Israel's. It is a conflict for democratic American values and against authoritarian
Iranian values and influence--two opposing worldviews for the region. Nella is on the side of our ally, Israel.

On Budget & Economy:
Spending taxpayer dollars is not solution to every problem
Do with less, or do without is the Biden/Heinrich economic ultimatum. Inflation impacts New Mexicans more than most Americans. Almost everything costs more here than the national average. We are the 6th most expensive state for groceries!
Unlike Martin Heinrich who believes that spending taxpayer dollars is the solution to every problem, Nella, a highly regarded financial executive, will support fiscal responsibility in Congress. She will protect taxpayers from wasteful spending.
She will protect Social Security and Medicare. She will use oversight authority to eliminate fraud and abuse in government programs.
She will prioritize policies that will drive sustained economic growth of our economy, especially by unleashing America energy.

On War & Peace:
Hamas must be destroyed; Israel-Hamas war is ours too
Nella unequivocally supports Israel and the longstanding U.S. policy recognizing Israel's right to exist and its right to self-defense. Israel was brutally attacked on October 7 and has the right to defend itself. The atrocities against Israeli women
and children and the ensuing war have shattered any credible possibility of a two-state solution.Hamas is a terrorist group and a proxy for Iran. Its leadership is committed to "wiping Israel off the face of the earth," and "Death to America."
Hamas' strategy has been and continues to be aberrationaly inhumane. Hamas must be destroyed as quickly as possible. The hostages must be freed.
The United States-Israeli partnership has been built on mutual interests and shared democratic values.
The Israel-Hamas war is as much ours as it is Israel's. It is a conflict for democratic American values and against authoritarian Iranian values and influence--two opposing worldviews for the region.
