As a real estate agent with The Perry Group, he understands the local economic landscape and advocates for a significant shift in state policy, specifically through his Anaya Accountability Agenda.

On the education front, he is a firm believer in parental rights and school choice, advocating for Education Freedom Accounts that allow funding to follow the student. By prioritizing results over rhetoric, he aims to elevate New Mexico’s standing and provide a more secure, prosperous future for his children, Malak and Noah Rae, and all families in Rio Rancho.
