The Adelante Progressive Caucus will work to strengthen the Democratic Party by recruiting more young people, people of color, LGBTQ people, working-class people, and others who may feel marginalized or forgotten. We will reach out to historically under-represented communities to include their voices in the democratic process. The Adelante Progressive Caucus will work to create transparency and accountability in all functions of our state and national party. We will work to eliminate the influence of big money, whether corporate or individual, from elections and the legislative process. The Adelante Progressive Caucus will promote democracy and strengthen the Democratic Party by building grassroots power to advance policies and candidates that represent the values and interests of ALL the diverse peoples and lands of New Mexico.
