Her unparalleled ability to build a diverse coalition and execute on tangible goals led to truly remarkable results for New Mexican voters and folks together who I never would have thought I'd see working together. At New Mexico Open Elections, I saw Sila do incredible work that helped make semi-open primaries happen in New Mexico, and I'm excited to see where she'll make a big impact next."
