Democrats Bring Energy to Pre-Primary Convention

Special to KRTN Multi-Media 

 

Albuquerque, N.M. – Today, Democrats from across the state gathered to make their choices for the Democratic Party Primary and passed a comprehensive platform that expresses New Mexico values and a vision for New Mexico that leverages the state’s clean energy potential, empowers rural communities, and supports policies that build strong families.

 

Candidates may qualify for the Democratic Primary by winning 20 percent of the vote at the Democratic Pre-Primary or by turning in the required number of qualified signatures to the New Mexico Secretary of State. This year’s Democratic Party of New Mexico Pre-Primary Convention is made up of 1,500 delegates who cast their ballots for the Democratic candidates of their choice.

 

The 2018 platform was developed through a series of listening sessions held in various locations throughout the state in an effort to bring diverse opinions to the table and ensure New Mexicans from every corner of the state had the opportunity to participate in the process. The result is a comprehensive, value-driven platform derived to ensure the viewpoints of rural, urban, traditional, and diverse communities in New Mexico are reflected. Generally, state party platforms are an affirmation of values that guide the principles and policies of the members of the Party.
