Bernalillo County District Attorney, Raul Torrez, is running for New Mexico Attorney General because he feels New Mexico needs a strong, experienced leader, unafraid to stand up and fight to protect our families. He was born and raised in New Mexico. Torrez attended three of the most-respected universities in the world: Harvard University, the London School of Economics for a Masters Degree, and Stanford University’s School of Law. He served as a federal prosecutor and senior advisor in President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice, where he fought to reduce border violence, crack down on drug cartels, and reduce violent crime and domestic abuse in Indian Country. As DA, Torrez has been a national leader for innovative “smart on crime” policies. He has taken on right-wing militias, stood up for common sense gun safety laws, tackled the rape kit backlog and prosecuted violent crime, child abuse, and fraud. Torrez is recognized as a national leader for reform, being one of the first prosecutors in America to make information about police misconduct available to the public, and piloting a program to provide full transparency about the demographic outcomes in our criminal justice system. Torrez will take on predatory corporations and those who target seniors and vulnerable residents, hold polluters accountable for harming our environment, and investigate and prosecute political corruption and police misconduct when necessary.
In short, I will work every day to protect New Mexico’s families because I know the job is never done. Torrez is looking forward to protecting our community by strengthening our resolve to make the Land of Enchantment the very best it can be for us now and forever.
