Join Indivisible Santa Fe in conversation with New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez on Monday November 10, 2025 at Christ Lutheran Church, 1701 Arroyo Chamiso Road, Santa Fe at 7:00 p.m.
Raúl Torrez is New Mexico’s 32nd Attorney General. A former federal prosecutor and senior advisor in the U.S. Department of Justice, he has dedicated his career to public service and strengthening the rule of law. Prior to being elected Attorney General, he served as the elected District Attorney for the Albuquerque metro area, where he led one of the state’s largest law offices.
As Attorney General, Torrez has brought a clear and focused approach to some of New Mexico’s most difficult challenges. He has made protecting children a top priority—filing lawsuits against major tech companies like Meta and Snap Inc. for enabling online abuse, investigating failures in the child welfare system, and launching undercover operations to arrest online predators. His office is also working to improve youth mental health and reduce harmful behavior such as cyberbullying and hazing in schools.
Torrez is a strong advocate for transparency, accountability, and constitutional governance. He has led national efforts to protect civil rights, challenge executive overreach, and defend the rule of law. Attorney General Torrez has also led a bipartisan effort to adapt consumer protection laws to the rapidly evolving online marketplace, while simultaneously improving oversight of higher education, and safeguarding New Mexico’s natural resources from environmental harm and exploitation.
A graduate of Harvard University, the London School of Economics, and Stanford Law School, Attorney General Torrez lives in Albuquerque with his wife, Nasha, and their two children.

Recap
Raúl spoke about the role of the AG office, the limitations of what it can do in NM (and how he's trying to expand its mission, but that requires legislative help), his passion for helping the vulnerable, and his perspective that the Democratic party needs to reconnect with working folks.
In particular, he says whenever you are thinking about a policy you want to advance, ask yourself "is this what's important to the working class?" which may help you reframe your thoughts and even rethink your policy position.
