New Mexico State Senator Crystal Brantley joins ABQ Connect for a heartfelt conversation about friendship, public service, voting, and the future of New Mexico. The interview begins in a tender and personal place, as Senator Brantley reflects on the New Mexico Legislature’s support for State Senator Nicole Tobiassen and her family following the passing of Nicole’s husband, Mark Tobiassen. With Mark’s Celebration of Life scheduled immediately after the interview, Senator Brantley speaks to the weight of grief, the strength of friendship, and the quiet importance of faith-filled presence when a family and community are walking through loss.
Senator Brantley also shares her perspective on the needs and values of District 35, the importance of civic engagement, and the issues she believes New Mexicans should be asking candidates about in the upcoming general election, including public safety, education, child protection, and the legislative differences between rural communities and larger cities. The conversation closes with a call for the faith community to become informed, involved, and active in public policy for the good of New Mexico.
