Dear Attorney General Balderas

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  Attorney General Balderas, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 31^st Attorney General of New Mexico to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as Attorney General of New Mexico, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities or people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or violated Civil Rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, expressing the need for more funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help reduce sending an innocent person to jail while solve cases along with evidence efficiently, and implementing more educational awareness programs to help teach people about the need to reduce gun violence including drug abuse is common sense for criminal justice reform.  On victim’s rights I liked on how you worked with law enforcement including the Office of the New Mexico Attorney General to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma and implement services to help children who are abused or are neglected get into a good family or a foster care. Another thing that I liked about your work as Attorney General of New Mexico is went after public officials who are corrupt or accepted illegal bribes to reduce corruption in government, prosecuted industries or companies that illegally polluted the environment or violated the environmental protection laws, and advocate for immigration reform to protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed.

Attorney General Balderas, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your role as Attorney General of New Mexico gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need for Civil Rights to be stronger, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support Civil Rights, push for criminal justice reform, and many others. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability and be motivated to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great difference for society.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
