The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) has announced the establishment of its New Mexico state chapter, known as AFPI–New Mexico (AFPI-NM). This initiative is part of AFPI’s strategy to expand its state-based infrastructure.
Vince Torres, who has extensive experience in public service and politics in New Mexico, will serve as the Executive Director of the new chapter. Stephanie Whitt, AFPI’s Chief State Action and Engagement Officer, expressed confidence in Torres’ leadership: “Vince Torres is a proven and respected leader who understands what New Mexico families need to thrive.”
Ashley Hayek, AFPI Executive Vice President, emphasized the organization’s mission: “New Mexico stands at a turning point, ready to embrace leadership rooted in freedom and common sense. Our mission is simple: empower New Mexicans with policies that uphold American values and secure their role in safeguarding our nation’s future.”
The launch of this chapter reflects AFPI’s dedication to advancing state-level policy solutions based on the America First Agenda across all states.
