CAMPAIGN POST
Fairwinds Rio Rancho, one of the community's largest retirement communities, hosted a candidate forum for Senate District 9. Democratic candidate Heather Balas, along with her two Republican opponents Susana Vasquez and Audrey Trujillo, took part. Balas' Democrat opponent Cindy Nava did not attend.

"We had great conversations with Fairwinds' inspiring residents today," said Balas. "With questions ranging from electric vehicles to education, these smart seniors put us through our paces! I was honored beyond measure by these voters who took time to share their insights, experiences and suggestions for improving our state."
