Heather Berghmans is a native New Mexican with a deep-rooted commitment to serving her community. She is ready to bring her passion and expertise to the New Mexico State Senate.
Heather has dedicated her career to advocating for the people of New Mexico, working closely with effective state and local leaders. Over the past five years, she has played an instrumental role in successfully passing critical bills addressing abortion access, gun violence prevention, the climate crisis, affordable healthcare, criminal justice reform, voting rights protection, education funding, government transparency, and more.
"I realized that in these roles, you can help pass policy to lift families like mine out of poverty or further entrench the cycles perpetuating it.
I want to help build a New Mexico where families can thrive, have clean air, land, and water, and feel safe in our cities. My lived experiences have helped give me the perspective needed to bring about lasting change in New Mexico. I love this state so much, and I want us to be as proud of New Mexico as we should be, as I know we can be."
Heather won the Democratic Primary and is running in the November 5, 2024 election against a Republican opponent.
