Pre-Primary Ward Meeting Registrants 2026

I'm running to be a Pre-Primary Delegate for Deb Haaland because representation is not symbolic-it's survival. I'm a Diné Blind lesbian, marginalized at every intersection of who i am, and I know what it means to be unheard. New Mexico deserves a Governor who understands our communities because she comes from them. Deb Haaland has always centered Indigenous individuals, women, individuals with disabilities, and the LGBT+ communities-not as talking points, but as lived responsibility. I'm running to help elect a Governor who leads with accountability, empathy, and justice and who will govern so no one is left behind. -Sacheen Smith
