Melanie Stansbury is a proud New Mexican who has spent her career working to protect our lands and waters and address the critical issues facing our communities. As someone who grew up in a working family in Albuquerque, Melanie knows what it means to struggle to make ends meet and knows the urgency of bringing real solutions to help our families.
Serving in the New Mexico House of Representatives (2019-2021), Melanie was a leader in tackling the pandemic, food and hunger issues, climate change, growing our economy and meaningful jobs, rebuilding our infrastructure, and protecting our natural resources. As our Congresswoman, Melanie took that fight to Washington D.C. in 2021 because the stakes are high and New Mexico needs a leader who will fight for our communities and the issues that matter most. Rep. Stansbury currently sits on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
“I am grateful for the Christopher Street Project’s endorsement. This organization fights for trans rights every day. In Congress I’ve fought to protect and uplift the LGBTQ+ community. As a Congresswoman, I have stood
up to my Republican colleagues and their attempts to silence and erase LGBTQ+ rights. I promise to continue this work alongside Christopher Street Project.”
