I humbly ask for your vote and support in the upcoming election on June 4th 2024.
About Me
Since 2009, I've had the honor of representing Gallup and its surrounding areas in the New Mexico Senate District 4. I'm truly grateful for all the support I've received across our district and proud of what we've accomplished together in the past fifteen years. I'm running for re-election because I'm eager to keep working on important laws that will further improve our communities in Senate District 4.
A major part of my work has been to ensure that our rural hospitals, like Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital in our district, stay open. Without our efforts, this vital hospital would have shut down. Ensuring that everyone has access to healthcare is a top priority for me and I will continue to pursue avenues that expand our healthcare in McKinley and Cibola County.
I originally ran for office because I believed we could create a better future for our children. I've always felt a strong duty to serve the place where I grew up and where my wife and I chose to raise our two boys. Watching them learn about the importance of service, sacrifice, compromise, and respect in the legislature has been incredibly rewarding. They've come to understand why it's vital for leaders to prioritize the needs of others over their own.
I'm also committed to boosting our economy by making New Mexico a leader in renewable energy. My aim for seeking re-election is to support more initiatives that will expand our renewable energy sector and to maintain and add jobs in this sector. (Note: Many Grants constituents are worried about their jobs/industry)
My dedication to public service is heavily inspired by my father, the late Eddie Muñoz. When he was Mayor of Gallup, he walked all the way to Santa Fe to advocate for stronger laws against drunk driving and the closure of drive-up liquor windows. His commitment to our community made a deep impact on me. He taught me to listen to the people of our community and stand up for what is right for the constituents in our part of the state.
It's the values of hard work, loyalty, and pride in our community, instilled by my parents and the people of Gallup, that drive me to run for re-election. As a Senior Senator, I have a strong voice and have become a leader in the New Mexico State Senate. Over the next few months, I look forward to traveling around the district to discuss the issues and concerns that are important to you.
George's Priorities
ECONOMY
I am committed to ensuring that small businesses in Senate District 4 have all the resources they need to expand and succeed. Small businesses are crucial to our economy. You can count on me to always fight and advocate for the interests and growth of small businesses. It's essential for our community's prosperity, and I'm here to support that every step of the way.
JOBS
Jobs are a top priority, and that's why I took a firm stand to keep the Grants prison operational by halting the prison closure bill. The jobs provided by this facility are vital to our community. They not only support our local economy but also ensure the stability and well-being of numerous families in Grants. I am dedicated to continuing this fight, making sure we preserve these essential jobs. Our community depends on it, and I am committed to ensuring that these employment opportunities remain a robust part of our future.
EDUCATION
My father always told me that education is the one thing that no one can take from you. With this guiding principle in mind, I am deeply committed to advocating for enhanced funding for our schools and educators. Our educators and educational institutions are not just part of our community—they are the architects of our future. By investing in them, we are investing in the leaders of tomorrow. I will tirelessly work to ensure that they have the resources they need to nurture and empower the next generation.
