I’m excited to create a dialogue about the specific issues facing western states and how we can address them at the local, state and national level.”

Crespin was elected DPNM vice chair in April, after serving two years as vice chair of the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County.
He is a multi-generational New Mexican, born in Santa Fe and raised in Northern New Mexico.
Crespin earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from New Mexico State University. In his professional career, he has spent over a decade as a behavioral health professional, and is currently serving developmentally disabled New Mexicans as a Case Manager and health advocate for the Developmental Disability Waiver.
