Why Vote for Me
Values That Put People First
What I stand For
I stand for a New Mexico where every person, every family, farmer, worker, and young dreamer, has the chance to thrive. Your vote matters because it shapes the kind of future we can build together. I am Tristan Kumar, and I am running for Governor of New Mexico because I believe our state can rise far beyond the limits placed on it. I believe in real solutions guided by factual data, not party agendas, and in leadership that puts New Mexico 1st in every decision. These are the principles that guide me and the values I carry every day as we work to build a "New" New Mexico, a place where all of us can grow, succeed, and be proud to call home.
Opportunity
I believe every New Mexican deserves a clear path to a better life: real jobs, real education, and real stability. I am committed to building systems that open doors, not close them.
Unity
We are strongest when we stand together: rural and urban, north and south, every background and every belief. I will work tirelessly to unite our state under one shared purpose: New Mexico 1st.
Sustainability
Our water, our land, and our resources are sacred. I will protect them with long term solutions that secure our future and support the farmers, families, and communities who depend on them.
Affordability
Families deserve relief, not rising costs. I will fight to lower energy bills, reduce property taxes, and make sure New Mexicans can afford to live, work, and build their futures here at home.
Progress
New Mexico must be ready for the future. I will champion innovation, strengthen our education system, and prepare our state for the labor shortages ahead so we move forward with purpose, not fall behind.
Get Involved
Your support fuels real change for New Mexicans. Every contribution brings us closer to electing Tristan Kumar as Governor of New Mexico and building a future where opportunity reaches every community.
