WHO DO WE ENDORSE?

Each candidate is a member of the VMF Caucus and running for office in New Mexico. Candidates running for US House of Representatives, statewide offices, and the NM House of Representatives completed a comprehensive questionnaire, were interviewed by our Candidate Endorsement team, were recommended by our Executive Committee, and approved by a vote of our general membership. We also endorse VMFC members who are running for County and Municipal offices and Judgeships. Each candidate demonstrates a commitment to work in support of New Mexico’s veterans and military family members within the capacity of the office they are seeking.
