Hello Fuerzas Unidas members. I am Christina De La Torre, your newly elected chair for Fuerzas Unidas Caucus. I was born and raised in the Las Cruces area. I lived in California as a young adult for five years and then chose to come back to raise my son, and later my daughter, near family. I have been with my husband for the last 16 years, but we recently chose to get married a year and a half ago. Together, we have four children, two daughter-in-law‘s and two beautiful grandchildren.
I am not new to the Fuerzas Unidas Caucus, having been the secretary for the last two years. I am also an SCC and CCC member. I have attended functions, performed my SCC and CCC duties, was on the committee that helped formulate our caucus strategic plan, maintained membership files, filed our semi-annual and annual reports to DPNM, and sent numerous emails to everyone.
Along with being elected as chair of the caucus, this creates a vacancy in the secretary position. If any one of you is interested, or know anyone who is interested please reach out to me at fzucchair@gmail.com.
I look forward to continuing the work of our caucus that strives to empower Hispanos across New Mexico. It is important that we get the vote out, promote inclusivity, and continue the fight for women’s rights, as well as the rights of all people in New Mexico.
I hope to make you proud!
