| Info | Rep. Rubio was born and raised in rural southeastern New Mexico and is the youngest daughter of Mexican immigrants. Angelica grew up with a deep working knowledge of the power found in numbers, as well as a flair for making her case.
After earning her degree in government from New Mexico State University, Angelica worked in Washington, D.C. She later moved to east Los Angeles to pursue a graduate degree in Latin American Studies, as well as an education in community organizing. Establishing herself as a fierce change agent, Angelica returned home and demonstrated the same urgency.
In 2016 Angelica won a seat in the New Mexico State Legislature, where she now focuses on energy policy through the lens of environmental and worker’s justice.
Rep. Rubio is also a champion for equitable outdoor recreation that not only benefits younger New Mexicans, but more importantly works towards the protection of public lands.
After her re-election in 2018 Angelica prepared for the 2019 legislative session by organizing a successful 300+mile bikepacking trip from Las Cruces to Santa Fe. The bikepacking trip was to raise awareness on the disconnect between the state capitol and the rest of the state. She did so again this past January. When Angelica is not organizing and working on issues of justice you can find her at home hanging with her dog Lennon, or riding her bike along the dry ditch banks of the desert in Doña Ana County and beyond.
