My name is Daniel Alfredo Garcia, and I am running to be a Pre-Primary Delegate because democracy demands participation, not sidelines. I believe in doing the work early, where voices matter and choices take shape. Serving as a delegate is about fairness, transparency, and making sure our candidates truly reflect our communities. This process strengthens our party and protects its future. When we show up, we honor those who came before us and build something stronger for those who come next.

My roots in New Mexico run deep, and my heart is with all of our gente. As a lifelong Democrat and a proud Latina, I believe participating is critical--there is so much at stake this year! I proudly support Deb Haaland for Governor. I've known Deb for years. She is a highly qualified, intelligent problem solver, who leads with strength and heart. In these challenging times, we need a leader who has our back, and will fight for us. I ask for your vote. I would be honored to serve as a delegate.
