as led one of New Mexico’s most diverse counties through challenging elections. She’s focused on coalition-building, securing funding, and strengthening election infrastructure, including raising poll worker pay and securing $4 million for a new warehouse.
Her priorities are protecting voting access, ensuring consistent election funding, and creating nonpartisan voter guides. She opposes proposals like the SAVE Act that could disenfranchise rural and low-income voters.
Born and raised in southern New Mexico, Amanda believes her background offers a unique perspective. She plans to connect with voters across the state while continuing her role as county clerk.
