Getting it done for District 60
Josh doesn't go to Santa Fe to make headlines. He goes to get results.
A native New Mexican, small business owner, and father of twin girls, Joshua Hernandez calls Rio Rancho home and treats every legislative session as a personal mission to protect the district where he is raising his family. This deep-rooted commitment drives his work in Santa Fe, where he bridges the gap between local needs and state policy, ensuring that the voices of District 60 are never ignored in the Roundhouse.
As the Ranking Member of the Commerce Committee and a key voice on the Tax & Revenue Committee, Josh has spent three terms delivering results and returning tax dollars to the people who earned them. His approach is simple: results over rhetoric. This means securing $6.3 million for the new Fire Station 8, championing HB 61 to protect our law enforcement, passing the Site Readiness Act to bring jobs & investment to Rio Rancho, and helping pass medical malpractice reform to keep doctors in New Mexico. For Josh, the goal remains clear: keeping Rio Rancho the safest and most prosperous place in the state to live, work, and grow.
