Meet the Emergistas running opposed in the 2026 Primary!

The primary elections are coming up, and every year Emerge NM is proud to see some of our alumni running for public office. This year, 16 Emergistas who were Signature Program and bootcamp participants will be running opposed for various offices, from county sheriff to New Mexico Governor. We are so proud to have been a small part of their journeys throughout the last 20 years, and we will continue to provide the guidance and tools to future generations of New Mexico leaders seeking public office.💙

DISCLAIMER: Emerge New Mexico does not endorse any political candidates. We simply highlight our Emerge NM alumni.

Another Kickoff Reception in the books!

On May 1st, we proudly introduced our Emerge NM Class of 2026 to the public during our Kickoff Reception in Albuquerque! This inspiring group of women and non-binary leaders is ready to break stereotypes and the barriers that aim to keep them from public office. We are so excited to begin this journey with our newest cohort, celebrating 20 years of Emerge NM excellence.

Thank you to Lisa Curtis for hosting us in her lovely historic Albuquerque home, and to our honored speaker and Emerge NM founder, Julianna Koob for imparting words of wisdom and encouragement for our class. We are just getting started.💙

Our 2026 Signature Program is in full swing! Earlier this year, our class participated in the first of two training sessions as part of the Emerge NM 2026 Signature Program.

We want to extend a huge thank you to all of our incredible and inspiring instructors. We’re especially grateful to Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez for leading our Ethical Leadership session, Dr. Sonia Gipson-Rankin for Inclusive Leadership, and Doug Gibson, Executive Director of the NM Senate Democrats, for facilitating Field Planning, and Representative Marianna Anaya and Julianna Koob for their joint training on Storytelling.

A big thank you as well to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW, Local 611) for hosting us at their facility—we always value opportunities to highlight and partner with unions.

Our Signature Program is just getting started! Follow along to keep up with the Class of 2026 as they embark on their new journeys toward public office.💙

Happy International Workers’ Day!

Today we celebrate laborers and New Mexico’s workforce, and we advocate for fair working conditions and decent pay for those who prop up the global economy.

At Emerge New Mexico, we recognize the contributions of New Mexico’s workforce and workers around the world. We believe in the fair treatment of laborers and we will continue to play our part in aiding the next generation of New Mexican policymakers who will ensure our workforce is fortified and respected.💙

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This is a time for advocates, survivors, their families, and the community to come together to raise awareness about sexual violence to support survivors, while identifying strategies and resources to prevent sexual violence.

At Emerge New Mexico, we don’t shy away from these conversations. We are proud to stand by survivors, raise awareness, and advocate for aid for the 54% of New Mexicans that have experienced sexual violence in their lifetimes.

Let’s make a conscious effort to eradicate sexual violence in our communities💙

Happy Earth Day!🌎

Today is a day to show our support for environmental protection and the causes that help make it happen. At Emerge New Mexico, we dream of a brighter and better New Mexico for all of us, but that dream begins with ensuring there is a cleaner New Mexico for future generations.

We are proud to call New Mexico our home. 47.4% of New Mexico is public land, and we boast 9.1 million acres of forest cover spread across five national forests. From one side of New Mexico to the other, we are lucky enough to live among some of this nation’s best natural beauty. Let’s all do our part in creating a greener New Mexico for years to come💙

This moment, however heavy it may feel, is not without purpose. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave voice to the deeper truth that progress does not happen by accident; it is shaped by the courage, care, and conscience of people who refuse to turn away.

Even in times of uncertainty and division, our actions matter. Our voices matter. Our commitment to one another matters. When we lead with integrity, stay rooted in love and justice, and keep showing up together, we bend the arc forward.

Today, we honor the tireless, often unseen work of those who choose courage over silence and hope over despair. This is how change is made.
