A New Mexico state representative has been selected to be part of a network that will seek to bring into the Republican Party more women and minority candidates and elected officials.
Rep. Kelly Fajardo (R-Los Lunas) is among eight chairs for the Right Leaders Network, a group that will grow the recruiting and training efforts that the Republican State Leadership Committee has already undertaken, a press release said.
"Congrats, Rep. Fajardo!,” the New Mexico House Republicans tweeted.

Fajardo previously worked with the RSLC through its Right Women Right Now program and Rise New Mexico, an organization that promotes women’s involvement in public policy and government, a press release said.
“It is an honor to continue working with the RSLC to support inclusive growth for Republicans across the country and contribute to a changing face of our party,” Fajardo said in the press release. “I am excited to work with the committee and help bring to the table support for more women candidates in our upcoming elections.”
