Voters urged to support pro-animal candidate Raúl Torrez
Santa Fe, N.M. – Animal Protection Voters (APV), New Mexico’s leading political and legislative advocacy organization for animal protection, announced its endorsement of Raúl Torrez for Attorney General in the 2022 New Mexico election.
Torrez received APV’s endorsement based on past personal and professional activity involving animal issues, as well as his responses to a questionnaire on a broad range of animal welfare issues including addressing large-scale animal cruelty and suffering, protecting state spay/neuter funding, and strengthening the New Mexico animal cruelty law.
Every election has profound implications for animals and APV endorsements provide guidance for voters looking to elect candidates that share their humane values.
“New Mexicans care about animal protection issues and seek out policymakers who value the role animals play in our lives. We are delighted to endorse Raúl Torrez for Attorney General. With his background and vision, Torrez is uniquely positioned and committed to supporting pro-animal policies, which are inextricably linked to his priorities to fight corruption, address cases of extreme violence, and protect New Mexico’s families,” said Jessica Johnson, Chief Government Affairs Officer for APV.
Animal Protection Voters issues endorsements based on candidates’ records and positions on animal protection issues and not based on party affiliation.
