Where  Jahnelle  Stands 

Modern Waiting Room

​

HEALTHCARE

She's Not Just Talking About It. She's Lived It.

​

Jahnelle Garcia has spent her career in healthcare—not reading about the system, but working inside it. As a nurse practitioner and founder of two healthcare organizations, she has seen what works, what fails, and what families are going through when they're at their most vulnerable.

In Santa Fe, she'll fight to:

  • Lower the cost of healthcare for working families and small businesses by reducing regulations that drive up premiums without improving care

  • Stop legislation like the 2021 Medical Malpractice law--which drove hundreds of doctors out of New Mexico--and keep the trial lawyer lobby out of our healthcare policy

  • Protect patient choice. New Mexicans deserve the right to choose their doctors, their providers, and their care without government interference

  • Expand access to home healthcare and preventive services, so families can keep loved ones healthy and independent longer

  • Support our healthcare workforce: nurses, nurse practitioners, home health aides, and caregivers who are the backbone of our system and are being stretched to the breaking point

​

"I've held patients' hands in their hardest moments. I know what's broken — and I know how to fix it."

SMALL BUSINESS & ECONOMY

She Didn't Inherit a Business. She Built One. Twice.

​

Jahnelle Garcia knows what it takes to start a business in New Mexico. She knows what it means to make payroll, manage employees, navigate regulations, and keep the doors open when everything is working against you. She's done it—and she's done it twice.

In Santa Fe, she'll fight to:

  • Cut the red tape strangling New Mexico small businesses: fewer unnecessary regulations, faster licensing, and a state government that treats entrepreneurs like partners, not problems

  • Keep taxes competitive so New Mexico businesses can grow, hire, and thrive without watching jobs and talent leave the state

  • Support working families with real economic relief—from reducing grocery taxes to fighting the inflationary policies that are draining family budgets

  • Champion workforce development that connects New Mexicans with the skills and jobs of tomorrow

​

"I've created jobs. I've met payroll. I understand what it costs to build something in this state — and I'll fight to make it easier for every business owner who comes after me."

FAMILIES & COMMUNITY

She's Not Just Advocating for Families. She Is Fighting For Her Own.

​

As a mother, Jahnelle Garcia understands exactly what's on the line. She's navigating the same schools, the same neighborhoods, and the same costs that every family in District 27 faces. She doesn't need to be briefed on what families are going through: she lives it.

In Santa Fe, she'll fight to:

  • Partner with parents on their children's education — Jahnelle believes schools and families do their best work together, and she'll make sure parents have a real voice in decisions that affect their kids

  • Invest in safe, strong neighborhoods — support the police and first responders who keep our communities safe, and make sure every family feels secure in their home

  • Protect New Mexico's most vulnerable — the elderly, the disabled, and children deserve a state government that takes its responsibility to them seriously

  • Support the community organizations doing the real work — from faith communities to nonprofits to neighborhood groups, they're stretched thin, and they deserve a partner in state government
     

"My children are my reason for running. I want them to grow up in a New Mexico that works — and I'm willing to fight for it."

PUBLIC SAFETY

Safe Communities Are the Foundation of Everything Else.

​

You can't build strong families, thriving businesses, or healthy communities in neighborhoods where people don't feel safe. Jahnelle Garcia believes in law enforcement, believes in accountability, and believes District 27 deserves leadership that takes public safety seriously.

In Santa Fe, she'll fight to:

  • Back the badge — support adequate funding, training, and resources for law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day

  • Hold criminals accountable — oppose policies that put repeat offenders back on the street and leave victims without justice

  • Address the root causes of crime — mental health, addiction, and poverty feed crime. Real solutions attack the problem from every angle.

  • Protect Second Amendment rights — law-abiding New Mexicans have the right to protect themselves and their families, period.
