Placitas Democrats and Friends Virtual Monthly Meeting
Guest Speakers
Candidate New Mexico State Auditor Joe Maestas
Joe Maestas is currently serving as the Public Regulation Commissioner representing District 3. I have worked to protect taxpayers from utility disconnections during the pandemic and now focus on helping bring federal aid to those in need. Establishing rules to make solar energy accessible, affordable and reliable has been a primary focus. I’ve also led the charge to expand broadband services to badly needed rural and tribal areas, using the broadband funding in the State Universal Service Fund. As a specialist in transportation and water resources, taxpayers can be confident that I will help lead our state through an historic, equitable transition to a clean energy future. https://www.maestas4nm.com
