FIGHTING FOR NM'S FAMILIES
TRUSTED LEADERSHIP
Day has fought to make health care more affordable, protected those with preexisting conditions and has worked tirelessly to get New Mexico’s economy back on track.
STANDING UP FOR US
Day has been a leader in the NM Legislature on criminal justice reform. She has led the effort on court reform, protections of the confidentiality of crime victims, and increased funding for sexual assault survivor services.
HOLDING THE POWERFUL ACCOUNTABLE
Day has led efforts in the NM Legislature to make government more accountable. She fought for legislation to increase transparency in political lobbying and supported efforts to make voting more accessible during the pandemic and beyond
Leadership
Day sponsored HB21, the “Protect Our Voices Act,” signed by the Governor, to level the playing field for victims of harassment, retaliation or discrimination, preventing employers from forcing nondisclosure agreements as part of the settlement.
Day also worked with the Governor to sponsor the “Threats and Acts of Mass Violence” bill to expand the state’s Anti-Terrorism Act to criminalize terroristic threats and conduct. It created penalties for those make threats disrupting public educational or governmental institutions, including those who engage in cyberattacks against public institutions. The legislation originated from a bi-partisan Domestic Terrorism Summit convened by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in 2019.
Day will fight for us to protect our access to affordable health care, fight for our children and public education, and she'll work non-stop to get our economy back on track:
Health care

We can count on Day to fight to keep our kids safe and to help our kids make up for lost time from this pandemic.
She'll make sure that our classrooms don't get on the chopping block when tough budget decisions have to be made.
Economy & Jobs

She voted for the NM Small Business Recovery Act in the 2020 Special Session and will always champion our local small businesses.
