Endorsements

On Monday September 22nd, 2025, Conservation Voters New Mexico announced several endorsements of pro-democracy and pro-climate candidates in the Las Cruces and Santa Fe municipal elections. The endorsements follow a rigorous process vetting candidates in contested races, including thorough questionnaires and interviews. Las Cruces and Santa Fe have ranked choice voting, allowing voters to cast ballots for multiple candidates in a given race. As a result, CVNM has issued dual endorsements for several races, encouraging voters to support all viable candidates running on pro-environmental platforms. 

Conservation Voters New Mexico (CVNM) proudly endorsed a slate of pro-climate and pro-conservation candidates in the Albuquerque City Council and Mayoral races. The endorsement decision follows a rigorous process to vet eligible candidates, including questionnaires and interviews. Among those endorsed includes incumbent climate champion Mayor Tim Keller. During Mayor Keller’s tenure, Albuquerque became the first city in the nation to adopt the Justice40 initiative, set a goal to be net-zero emissions by 2050, and became one of the top 5 solar cities in the country by committing to 100% renewable power in 2025.
