FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Mexico Family Action Movement Honors Five Legislators with 2025 Freedom
Champion Award


Albuquerque, NM - New Mexico Family Action Movement (NM FAM) announced that five
New Mexico legislators received the organization's Freedom Champion Award at its Legacy
Dinner on December 3. This year's honorees are Representatives Rebecca Dow, Jenifer
Jones, and Rod Montoya, and Senators David Gallegos and Jay Block.

The Freedom Champion Award is NM FAM's highest recognition for public officials who
demonstrate uncommon courage in service to New Mexico families. The award honors leaders
who "have gone above and beyond to defend faith, protect families, and stand for freedom," not
simply through their votes but through the way they lead - speaking truth when it's unpopular
and standing firm when it costs them.

"These leaders have shown what principled service looks like," said Jodi Hendricks, Executive
Director of NM FAM. "They haven't wavered in their commitment to New Mexico families, and
they've worked tirelessly to safeguard the values of our communities. It was our honor to
recognize their courage."

The Legacy Dinner brought together pastors, local leaders, and families from across the state,
celebrating NM FAM's expanding impact and the partnerships that sustain its work.
Hendricks added, "New Mexico faces serious challenges, and strong leadership matters. These
Freedom Champions step into the arena with integrity and resolve. Their work strengthens
families and strengthens our state."

NM FAM will continue recognizing leaders who model this kind of service in the years ahead,
encouraging a culture of courage in public life and calling New Mexicans to engage boldly in
shaping the future of their communities.
