Conservative Choice: A Campaign for New Mexico
A Conservative Independent focused on New Mexicans and not a Party.
Whether Republican, Democrat or Independent – Conservative New Mexicans are not being represented in Washington DC.
Help me change that.
Mira O’Connell is a bright, hardworking, and tenacious New Mexican who can provide a new and innovative perspective in Congress. Mira is a conservative Independent who is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate because New Mexicans deserve:
- A voice in Washington DC that represents the people of New Mexico and not just a Political Party
- A representative in our Nation’s capital that can work with congressional colleagues, regardless of their Political Party
- Conservative and Rural New Mexicans are being forgotten and left behind in regard to representation in the U.S. Senate. All New Mexicans deserve to be represented, it is their basic right.
Please sign the Petition to get Mira O’Connell on the ballot for the 2026 U.S. Senatorial Race to give Conservative New Mexicans a choice at the polls this Fall.

“In today’s closely divided and highly polarized political climate, partisan all-or-nothing policy proposals cannot solve the nation’s pressing policy problems,..Lawmakers who recognize this, and do the hard work to form broader coalitions, have been finding much greater success. They offer a blueprint for constructive lawmaking to address the toughest policy challenges.

George Washington was an independent. Washington believed unity, not division, was necessary for a democratic republic to survive. Washington warned: “[party] serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another.”
