Meet Amanda

Amanda López Askin is a proud public servant with deep roots in  New Mexico, she was raised in Las Cruces by a hard working single mom who still needed assistance and  public housing to provide a stable life for her children. With the support of her community and hard work and determination, Amanda became a therapist and dedicated herself to helping kids in foster care. When the opportunity came to serve her community in Dona Aña County as County Clerk, she leapt at the chance to continue to serve her community that has given her so much. As County Clerk, Amanda leads with fairness and compassion while always ensuring the integrity of our elections. When our 2020 elections were under attack, Amanda persevered combatting misinformation and pushing back on election deniers. Amanda is running for Secretary of State to bring her lived and professional experience to serve all New Mexicans by making sure our elections remain safe, secure, and fair, providing transparency in campaign finance, and supporting New Mexico’s businesses.

Serving Doña Ana County as Clerk has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. As a native New Mexican, I continue to be deeply committed to our community and all of the important responsibilities the clerk’s office is tasked with. I am fortunate to work with an exceptional staff that works hard every day to ensure Doña Ana County residents receive the services they deserve.
