On Tuesday, 2 June, 2026, Lori Martinez, a single Mom, a trusted local leader of an education-focused non-profit, and a lifelong New Mexican won election to be the Democratic nominee for New Mexico’s 27th State House district in November.
Statement by Earthworks Action Fund State Political Director Andrew Forkes-Gudmundson:
“The people of House District 27 deserve a leader who will fight back dirty industries that make big money off of New Mexico’s natural resources then leave New Mexicans to pay in their health and safety.
“Hard earned tax dollars should go to better communities, schools and roadways instead of cleaning-up the oil and gas industry’s mess. The people of New Mexico should always come first. Lori Martinez knows economic development can help all New Mexicans prosper without polluting precious air and water.”
