Eric Griego is a people-powered progressive from New Mexico running against corporate-powered centrists in the Democratic primary. Eric has been a vocal champion in his state for campaign finance and ethics reforms, worker rights and investing in clean energy jobs. As an Albuquerque city councilor, he led the passage of public financing of city elections, and has fought for a strong independent ethics commission in the state legislature. Eric is also the only candidate for Congress in New Mexico’s First District, and an early leader nationally, to publicly call for a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United. He has emphatically stated his belief that corporations are not persons deserving of constitutional rights equal to real people and that they should be subject to regulations limiting their ability to influence the political process. If elected, Eric will be a reliable ally in the Congressional Progressive Caucus to fight for the American Dream for the 99%.
