Steve Fischmann represents District 37 in the New Mexico Senate, which includes neighborhoods in east Las Cruces, on the East Mesa, and in the Elephant Butte area of Sierra County.
Steve has long been an advocate for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and lower fuel costs, serving as chair of the Southwest Energy Alliance and on the boards of directors of the Southwest Environmental Center and the Coalition for Clean and Affordable Energy. He was also a leader in exposing questionable deals by the State Land Office and in advocating for the Organ Mountains and other public lands in New Mexico.
Before moving to the Las Cruces area a few years ago Steve was a twenty-year executive for Levi Strauss, where he worked extensively in financial analysis and long-range planning. That experience proved important as he became more involved in public policy issues in Southern New Mexico, and began to see that state and local governments were entering into agreements that were detrimental to citizen and taxpayer interests. Soon Steve was a respected local leader in the areas of land use, energy policy, and public involvement in the decisions that affect our future. |

This same concern for responsive government, environmental stewardship, and protecting taxpayer interests motivate much of Steve’s work in the state senate. He welcomes contact with his constituents, and he counts on that dialogue in learning better ways to move our community forward. “A better future for all New Mexicans” isn’t just a slogan for Steve, it’s a legislative philosophy.
