Run With Me

I'm Duke Rodriguez, and I see New Mexico differently than it currently is.

“New Mexico is projected to be short 2,118 doctors…” 1

Bring Doctors Back. Change the Laws.

 Reform malpractice rules, slash bureaucracy, and offer smart incentives — or we’ll keep losing providers and watching rural care collapse.

“…ranks 50th in education and family & community” 2

Raise Teacher Pay. Cut District Waste.

Attract top talent by making teaching competitive again — and redirect bloated administrative budgets into classrooms where it counts.

“…highest property crime rate” 3

Stop the Crime Spiral. Enforce the law. 

 Enforce the law. End the revolving door. Treat fentanyl like the emergency it is — and actually lock up repeat offenders.

“…49th in economic well‑being” 4

Protect State Workers. Fix Retirement Now.

 Close the pension gap and safeguard the futures of the people who keep New Mexico running.

I'm not running alone.
I'm running with over 2 million New Mexicans.

New Mexican.

National politics often dominate headlines, but for New Mexicans, the most pressing issues are right here at home. From the persistent challenges of crime in Albuquerque to the urgent need for improved healthcare access in rural communities, our state faces unique problems that require local solutions. By focusing on New Mexico's distinct needs and fostering inclusive, community-driven policies, we can build a stronger, more responsive state government that truly serves its people.
