His story
Engineer, Analyst, Investor, Public Servant
James Ellison grew up on the Georgia coast, where a strong work ethic and a deep sense of community responsibility were instilled in him from an early age. He studied political science and physics at Clemson University, then headed north to MIT, where he earned two master's degrees — one in mechanical engineering and one in technology and policy.
After MIT, James went overseas to work with a global power company. He served as director of a 4,000-megawatt power plant, and as director of a 3,500-employee power distribution company serving an area the size of Maryland. He had overall responsibility for these two companies, including responsibility for the budget for both, and responsibility for rate case filings for the distribution company. Running large organizations in a foreign country, making financial decisions with real consequences, and navigating complex regulatory environments — that experience shaped the way James approaches leadership and public service today.
He moved to New Mexico twenty years ago with his wife to take a job at Sandia National Laboratories. They bought a plot of land in the East Mountains and built a house. Their two wonderful boys were born and raised here. New Mexico is home.
At Sandia, James was a member of a team that analyzed critical national infrastructure for the Department of Homeland Security. He worked on both rapid responses to events such as Hurricane Katrina, as well as longer-term analyses such as projecting the impacts of a Southern California earthquake on the ability to supply natural gas to the Los Angeles area. The work demanded rigorous analytical thinking under pressure, often with high stakes and incomplete information.
He took a year off from his work at Sandia National Laboratories to study at Stanford University, where he earned a Master's in Management.
James served as a Commissioner on the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission in 2023 and 2024, where he reviewed and approved utility rate cases through rigorous financial analysis — ensuring that rates were fair, just, and reasonable for New Mexico families and businesses. It was hands-on experience applying financial expertise to serve the public interest.
Why State Treasurer
His experience in managing the budgets of two companies, business education, and analytical expertise — combined with the securities analysis and portfolio management training necessary to earn the Chartered Financial Analyst designation — make him well-suited to be our next State Treasurer.
James isn't a career politician. He's someone who has managed large budgets, led complex organizations, analyzed critical infrastructure under pressure, and earned one of the most rigorous credentials in investment management. He believes New Mexicans deserve a Treasurer who manages their $20 billion the way a professional investor would: with discipline, transparency, and accountability.
Ramona L. Goolsby
Secretary of State
My life has been shaped by service in healthcare, military duty, ranching, business ownership, and now conservation leadership on the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District Board.

Michael Jack Perry
Commissioner of Public Lands
My A Vision for New Mexico’s Land, Water, and Future
As a lifelong conservationist, land manager, and public servant, Michael Perry brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective to the role of New Mexico State Land Commissioner. His priorities reflect a deep respect for the land, a commitment to local communities, and a belief in common-sense stewardship that serves both people and nature.
Responsible Land Management
Michael believes our state lands must be managed with balance, integrity, and long-term vision. His decades of experience both in the field and at the State Land Office have taught him that thoughtful, science-based land practices are key to preserving our landscapes and supporting New Mexico’s economy.
Protecting Water & Watersheds
Water is life in New Mexico. Michael has worked hands-on with watershed restoration projects and understands the vital connection between healthy land and clean, sustainable water. He supports proactive, collaborative strategies to manage our waterways and protect agricultural and municipal water supplies.
Wildfire & Flood Mitigation
New Mexico is facing increasing threats from catastrophic wildfires and post-fire flooding. Michael has seen the consequences firsthand. He is committed to strengthening interagency collaboration, restoring forest health, and investing in long-term wildfire prevention and recovery planning.
Local Solutions for Diverse Communities
Michael knows that New Mexico’s landscape is incredibly diverse and so are its people and communities. From oilfields to farmland, desert to forest, and villages to cities, no one-size-fits-all solution will work. He is dedicated to listening to local voices and tailoring land policies to fit the unique needs of each town, tribe, and county.
Access to Public Lands
Michael strongly supports public access to state trust lands for hunting, fishing, recreation, and cultural uses. He believes our public lands belong to the people and should be protected and accessible for future generations.
Support for Energy, Agriculture, and Rural Economies
Energy production plays a critical role in funding New Mexico’s public schools and services. Michael supports the responsible development of oil and gas resources while ensuring land and environmental protections remain in place.
He also recognizes the growing importance of renewable energy in New Mexico’s future. As Land Commissioner, he will work to expand opportunities in wind, solar, and geothermal energy ensuring that New Mexico continues to lead the way in both traditional and renewable energy sectors.
Equally important, Michael understands that New Mexico’s farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our rural communities and essential to our way of life. He is committed to advocating for their rights, protecting grazing access, and ensuring that agriculture remains a vital part of our state’s economy and land use strategy.
Bipartisan Leadership & Accountability
Michael is not here to be a Republican or Democrat Land Commissioner, he’s here to be a New Mexican Land Commissioner. He believes in transparency, accountability, and working across the aisle to deliver real results for the people of New Mexico.
Conservation Over Preservation
Michael believes in active land stewardship through conservation not passive preservation. While preservation often seeks to lock land away from use, conservation balances ecological health with economic productivity and public access. Michael supports land policies that allow for responsible grazing, recreation, energy development, and habitat restoration ensuring that our lands remain productive, resilient, and available to future generations. His boots-on-the-ground experience has shown that active management is the best path forward for New Mexico’s diverse and dynamic landscapes.

Joshua James Ryan Lawrence
State Auditor
New Mexico, I’m Joshua James Lawrence and I am running to be the Republican State Auditor of New Mexico.
We have till March 17. We still need to collect around 3,000 signatures to hit the mark to be the Republican write-in candidate. But we’re not stopping there. Let’s hit 10k-100k. Not for show—for proof. Proof that patriots, church folks, moms, dads, ranchers, farmers, badges of all kinds…we’re done letting Democrats run this state like it’s their playground.
They’ve wasted your tithes. Hid the books, opened the border while your kids learn CRT instead of civics. I’m the only Republican standing up—against the same old incumbent who thinks God’s truth can wait.
This isn’t politics. It’s stewardship. Full audits. No more secret spending. No more handouts to insiders. Your money. Your children’s future. Your rights—protected, not promised.
Send this link to every brother/sister in Christ, every veteran, every neighbor who still prays before a meal. We’re not asking permission. We’re claiming it.
And sign Larry Lead Marker for Senate—he’s taking on Ben Ray Luján. Time to clean house, starting with prayer and ending with votes.
God bless New Mexico. Let’s fight like we mean it.”
