New Mexico State Senator Mark Moores is a candidate for the U.S. House to represent New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District. Paul Gessing is the President of the Rio Grande Foundation, New Mexico’s free-market liberty-oriented think tank and research institute.  Paul reviews the top legislative priorities Senator Moores will have in Washington if elected.

Senator Moores prioritized the following concerns:

  • I am going to push for reforms that help law enforcement do their jobs.
  • We have to secure our borders.
  • We have to have a legal immigration system. We are a very proud nation of immigrants. It’s our DNA, but we have to follow the law.
  • New Mexico is much harder on small businesses than they are on criminals.
  • We are one of only 12 states that tax social security. It is absolutely unfair to double tax our senior citizens on social security.
