ABOUT JACOB SMITH
2026 Independent Gubernatorial Candidate for New Mexico!

WHO I AM
I'm a God fearing family man who believes that Government should be for the people it represents.
I am someone who stands up for what is right, not what is easy.
I come from a diverse background in Healthcare, Education, Policy Reform, Legislative Review, Economics, Law Review, Political System Studies, Compliance, and Program Coordination.
I have served on an Executive Board during my time at the University of New Mexico and was an elected member of the Staff Council.
Bringing all people to the table for discussion and collaboration to find real-world, sustainable solutions to the problems we face is a skill I have honed over time, and it is a skill I will use to improve the Lives of ALL my New Mexicans and the Great State of New Mexico.
A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
As Governor, I will work tirelessly to make tangible improvements in New Mexico, including healthcare access, education, public safety, infrastructure, economic development, and legal reform, among other areas. Building a state where accountability restores faith, transparency builds bridges, and real improvements change New Mexican Lives. Together, we can make New Mexico Better for ALL.
MISSION STATEMENT
Delivering on my Promise to New Mexicans for a Better Tomorrow
To me, the Land of Mañana, the Land of Tomorrow, means that we do everything possible today for the best possible tomorrow for ALL New Mexicans!
That's precisely what I will do as your next Governor of the Great State of New Mexico!
