Strong Candidates to Promote a Safe Environment

Nothing has a bigger impact on our climate, water, land and wildlife than public policy and the people who set that policy. An important part of our nonpartisan mission is to endorse candidates for elected office and work to elect those candidates. Our endorsements and volunteer power make a real difference in elections.

Don’t know when and where to vote? Don’t know your district? Don’t know the candidates?
We have several resources to help you through the process during an election.

  • The Rio Grande Chapter has a Voting Information page that will be updated during election cycles.
  • In addition to election information, the NM Secretary of State Voter Information Portal allows you to look up your registration information and status of absentee ballots.
  • To search for all electoral districts (Congressional, County Commissioner, State Legislative, etc.) use the SOS portal. (Note that “Legislative” refers to your State House District and “Senate” refers to your State Senate District.) To specifically look at your state legislative voting districts here.
