Hey folks. This is Matt from Common Cause New Mexico. You've heard about the national voters first pledge campaign that Common Cause is engaged in with its allies at the federal level. Common Cause chapters throughout the country are helping out with the federal campaign. But, we're also engaged in similar campaigns around our own state races.
Here in New Mexico, Common Cause kicked off its voters first pledge campaign last week by mailing out pledge forms and a cover letter to all candidates for statewide office.
Common Cause believes it's important to hold power accountable at every level of government, not just those serving at the federal level. That's why we're taking the concept of the voters first pledge campaign and asking candidates in New Mexico to pledge support for New Mexico-specific ethics reforms and public financing of campaigns. Do you live in New Mexico? If so, please ask candidates for governor, lt. governor, attorney general, secretary of state, land commissioner, treasurer and auditor if they've signed the pledge form.
