As governor, I will work to reform the practice of solitary confinement, which studies and medical and psychological associations say causes negative mental health effects on children, pregnant women and people living with mental illness.

Too often reports have found that private jails and prisons are understaffed, have poor medical care, and have increased security risks, undermining public safety and their responsibility to taxpayers.

As governor, I'll work to make New Mexico a national leader in clean energy by moving to renewable energies such as solar and wind and through innovative, smart policy and practices such as methane mitigation.

With an investment in our state's energy infrastructure to capture methane, we will create jobs, increase revenue for our schools, and protect the health of workers and communities, all while reducing harmful emissions that are contributing to climate change.

I don't see the minimum wage as a fight between capital and labor, between persistent small businesses and diligent employees. I think offering New Mexicans a pathway out of poverty helps all of us, no matter which side of the check you sign.

Our minimum wage is too low. So we need to raise it.

When I work on sculpture, I don't have to worry about function. When I work on a piece of architecture, I must think about function all the time.

Art must take reality by surprise.

The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.

The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.

One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.

Pictures must not be too picturesque.
