Modernizing the NM Legislature
We deserve an effective, responsive, and reflective state legislature with adequate resources to serve the people of New Mexico.
Priorities
Common Cause works on the national, state, and local level to defend and strengthen American democracy.
What We're Doing
Ranked Choice Voting
New Mexicans deserve fair elections that represent the will of the voters. Ranked Choice Voting promotes positive, inclusive and fair elections, which encourages a diversity of candidates and saves money by eliminating the need for run-off elections.
Creating an Independent Redistricting Commission
New Mexican voters deserve competitive, fair elections where every vote counts and the outcomes reflect the will of the people.
Featured Issues
Election Protection
Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
Making Government Work
Our government should make decisions that further the public's interest. But recently, gridlock, hyper-partisanship, and out-of-date legislative process have hindered meaningful progress. We are fighting back.
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Money in Politics
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
