With just six weeks till election day, we encourage you to find out where your candidates stand on Think New Mexico's policy proposals to address the health care worker shortage🏥! Here are some examples of policies you might ask about:
______________________________

1. Would you support legislation to make it easier for health care workers to practice in New Mexico by joining the eight major interstate compacts for health care workers? 

2. Would you oppose any attempts to roll back the medical malpractice reforms? 

3. Would you support tax reforms for health care workers? 

4. Would you support legislation to establish a centralized credentialing system?

______________________________

If you get a response to your questions to candidates, please let us know! Candidates are more likely to support these reforms if voters are asking about them. We appreciate your help!
