Trump. Musk. DOGE. Different names. Same story: Working people getting pushed out so the powerful can consolidate control.Whether it was Donald Trump’s assault on career civil servants, Elon Musk’s mass layoffs at X and Tesla, or the coming wave of Schedule F firings under Project 2025—millions of working Americans have been targeted, silenced, and displaced.

<h2>Background on being a pre-primary delegate</h2>According to New Mexico State Statute, the Democratic Party of New Mexico must hold pre-primary conventions in election years. Party Pre-Primary Conventions must be held by the second Tuesday of March. The purpose of the pre-primary convention is to decide who makes it on the primary ballot. The pre-primary convention delegates vote on their preferred candidate for statewide races and federal races. A candidate who does not receive 20% or more of the votes at the pre-primary convention is required to submit more signatures to make it on the ballot. Simply put, our pre-primary convention determines who makes it on the Democratic primary ballot for the June 02, 2026 primary. The responsibilities of a delegate are simple. Delegates vote for their preferred candidates running to be the Democratic Party's nominee for statewide races (New Mexico Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor, and Land Commissioner) as well as their Federal Races (U.S. Senate and their member of the United States House of Representatives). Delegates also vote on the Democratic Party of New Mexico's platform and resolutions.

Here are the responsibilities of delegates
