Corrales Town Hall Event with Representative Melanie Stansbury

Friday, March 28, 2025

Corrales, New Mexico

Summary:
US Representative Melanie Stansbury participated in a town hall in Corrales, New Mexico, weaving her local roots into a passionate plea for democracy. A New Mexico native with a water resources background, she traced her unexpected path to Congress, sparked by opposition to Trump’s first term.

She touted major wins, over a billion dollars for infrastructure like water and broadband, plus hundreds of millions for community needs, shelters, clinics, and schools, while pushing climate resilience. Her tone shifted as she tackled the Trump administration’s recent moves, accusing it of dismantling agencies, firing inspectors, and issuing illegal orders under Project 2025.

With Republicans dominating Congress and the White House, Stansbury pointed to over 160 lawsuits fighting back, urging just two GOP members to defend the Constitution. She rallied attendees to act, call representatives, aid legal efforts, and support neighbors, stressing grassroots power.

Questions hit hard, Musk’s sway, election integrity, and Social Security risks. Stansbury praised New Mexico’s secure voting, pledged court battles against funding cuts. Her core message? The nation’s on fire, but united voices can extinguish the blaze, safeguard democracy for the future.
