“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” ― Anonymous

My Love for God, Country, Family, and adherence to the United States Constitution are the principles that we should demand from every elected Republican official.

I will publicly advocate for protecting our unborn children, our right to keep and bear arms, and our God given right to pray freely and openly and to always do what is morally right.

As Republicans, we are standing strong for republican values. Values that include a smaller government, less taxes, local control of schools, limited EPA regulation, and protection of private property rights.

Representing New Mexico’s families, businesses, farmers, and ranchers from utility monopolies will be my primary responsibility. I will create a monthly citizens' panel in each county in my district allowing New Mexicans to express concerns about PRC issues.

If you have any questions for Chris, would like a yard sign, or magnetic bumper sticker. Call or write:
