Joint Amicus Brief: Vote by Mail 2020

Joint Amicus Brief: Vote by Mail 2020

Standard in-person voting would force the people of New Mexico to choose between their safety and the exercise of their franchise
Article V

Article V

An Article V constitutional convention is a dangerous path that puts all of our cherished rights, civil liberties, and freedoms at risk.
Limiting Contributions

Limiting Contributions

The vast majority of us know money has too much influence in politics. That's why we're dedicated to protecting reasonable contribution limits.
Lobbyist Disclosure

Lobbyist Disclosure

When well-connected lobbyists wield too much power and influence, everyday New Mexicans are shut out of the process.
Getting Big Money Out of Politics

Getting Big Money Out of Politics

Small-dollar donor elections break down barriers to participation in our democracy, making government look more like the people it represents and work better for us all.

Featured Issues


Election Protection

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

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 But recently, gridlock, hyper-partisanship, and out-of-date legislative process have hindered meaningful progress.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

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

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.
