only of her photograph, a place to sign up for email updates, and a way to contribute.

I can see she's a female. Surely there are other things about her, such as what she's done in her life before this that would make her a good Representative, that could be put on the website.

I'm actually in the 3rd District in northern NM, and I am not remotely happy about our Congressman, Ben Ray Lujan, but he's such a darling of the Democratic Party I doubt he will ever face a serious challenge.

Roxanne "Rocky" Lara I am working on position papers for my website, so that you’ll know who I am and where I stand. I’ll get those up as soon as I can. If there is a question you have about specific topics that you would like me to address on my site, please e-mail your ideas to info@larafornm.com.
