I’m Denise Lang-Browne and I want to be your new voice for New Mexico’s Senate District 33.
I’m the daughter of an Air Force officer, was married to a Vietnam veteran and am most grateful to be a mother and grandmother.
I moved to Otero County over 40 years ago. I received my degree in accounting from NMSU. I worked for a CPA firm in Ruidoso and we audited multiple government entities; I was a staff accountant for the City of Alamogordo; Finance Officer for the Boys & Girls Club of Otero County; Administrative Coordinator for the Otero/Lincoln Behavioral Health Collaborative; and Business Manager of the Alamogordo Cancer Treatment Center.
I’m asking for your vote because this District needs a new voice. We need a voice that will speak fairly for the people of Otero, Lincoln, and Chaves County. Having spoken with many of you, I can say that the people support well-paying job creation in innovative industries. We want to improve the quality of our public schools and we want to protect our public lands. We want our children to be able to find work that pays a living wage so they can remain in our state. We want our law enforcement to be Officers of the Peace, to protect the vulnerable.

Help me be your voice for Senate District 33 and vote Denise Lang-Browne, for New Mexico State Senate District 33.
