I have decided not to seek re-election to the New Mexico State Senate. I am grateful to my constituents in District 31 for supporting me and allowing me the incredible honor and opportunity to serve them.
I am proud of what we have accomplished together over the past 20 years. My passion has been and remains in the area of education and reform because it is through education that our communities are improved and enriched. Our children are our future and that future can only be addressed by working together. I look forward to new opportunities to further these efforts.
Again I want to say thank you to all my constituents and colleagues.
