I'm Jason Vaillancourt and I was born in Albuquerque, NM and have lived here most of my life. I grew up in this district and do not see New Mexico values being represented in Santa Fe. I believe we are the change we wish to see in our district and in our State and our campaign is offering solutions based in that philosophy. #BeTheChangeNM

  • Govt has a proper role, but we have let it grow way outside of what that is.
  • We must be the change we wish to see. Hard work, a comittment to virtue sound simple but are difficult and will take time.
  • Other Key institutions in our society must fulfill their proper role also. Whether it is Community, Principled Business, The Free Press or Education, each plays a critical role in helping us all achieve the outcomes we would like to see in New Mexico.

I would say all, but that would be unfair to so many that I am not educated at all about.

With that in mind, i have worked on the following policies for the last several years, both nationally and locally.

Criminal Justice Reform
Supreme Court Nominations
Tax Reform
Worker Freedom
Economic Freedom
Individual Liberty

My Dad. My Dad is a very intelligent, kind, hardworking leader. He taught me that by serving others, you will find fulfillment. If you do the right thing, you will find success. He showed me how to get up after falling. How to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. He taught me to walk a mile in the other person's shoes, and how to not be selfish all the time. He said that my name means something, in life, and in business, and to take precious care of it, because it was his name, and his father's name before him, and my brother's too. I could never share all the reasons why his example is one I wish more of us followed, not just me,

Honesty
Integrity
Intelligence
Humility
Compassion
Decisiveness
Strength
Kindness

I am honest and I care greatly about everyone, not just a small group of people. I work hard for others, I am good at recognizing talent and letting that talent lead and take credit for their own achievement. I respect people and I listen. I make informed decisions that take everyone into consideration. I know how to lead, it is by serving others.

Very simple to serve the people who elected you.

That I dis everything I could to create a better life for my wife and my son.

I delivered papers as an 8 year old, so I may have had some other jobs before Burlington Coat Factory at the Montgomery Mall on San Mateo and Montgomery. I was a warehouse worker. We unloaded trucks, unpacked the merchandise, installed the security strips on the individual items, then used the price guns to individually price each item, put them on a rolling rack, and deliver them to the appropriate department, kids, womens, men's, etc.. I was there for a bout a year, I was 15 when I started and 16 by the time I was gone.

The Shack....it changed my heart.

I am a New Mexican and have my share if struggles. Let's focus on New Mexico's struggles and see if we cant get through some of them, together.

Each body in New Mexico serves the people of New Mexico independently and together. As of late, it has been hard to tell the "differences" between our State House and State Senate. Our campaign would like to help restore that balance back in the NM legislature and back in the legislative process.

I do, but I do not think it should ever be a requirement or mandated to run for office. Government likes to present itself as complicated and difficult for "average" people to understand. That is not the case, it is just cumbersome and veiled in mystical language to confuse "average" people. We would like to end that also. This process doesn't have to be difficult for people to understand or to participate in, it is our right and our obligation to do so.

Our state has a great many challenges. To emphasize one more than any of the others, is not doing our public its proper service.

Our economic devastation from poorly conceived policies, and the execution of those policies, will most likely be the number 1 agenda on the legislative list, whether we like it or not.

A working relationship where it is understood that each is to respectfully challenge the other's on matters of state.

An open and transparent process that takes input and participation from the stakeholders, the people of New Mexico.

If elected, I will be the leadership of my party in our current legislature, as it is only Republicans and Democrats.

Not really. I think NM is ready for a very new type of leadership, which we believe our campaign and policies represent. I would like to show our current leadership how we believe these ideas can finally transform NM to being the Land of Enchantment we all know it is.

Maybe, but I dont have time to think or discuss that right now. We are very focused on the task at hand, and plan to continue to challenge the status quo until we start to see New Mexico getting the outcomes and results we keep being promised!
