Fall 2019
Location pro Rebecca Puck
Stair is many things—former
LMGI Board member,
environmentalist, writer,
former English teacher and
horse trainer. She is an
intelligent, curious, inspiring
people person. These qualities,
combined with her unrelenting
determination, make her a
good location manager and
scout. They will also serve
her well in a run for the New
Mexico State Senate seat
currently held by Republican
William Payne, a lawyer and
retired rear admiral in the U.S.
Navy, who has been in office
since 1997.
"With the climate crisis,
healthcare, education and
infrastructure, New Mexico
and the United States are at a
tipping point," Stair urges. "We
are facing complex problems.
The good news? As location
managers, we happen to
specialize in complex problem
solving, on time and on
budget."
Stair reveals that her work in
the entertainment industry
directly influenced her decision
to run. As a location scout,
knocking on doors all over the
state, she has met and talked
with people from all walks
of life, giving her incredibly
unique political insight. Her
career has placed her in
hundreds of homes and a wide
range of businesses, talking
with residents and owners.
She says, "Negotiating
thousands of movie contracts
with New Mexicans has
given me a direct, firsthand
understanding of our state's
concerns and values."
Stair has enjoyed the
opportunity of sampling the
lives of countless people,
learning about their lives and
their jobs—from aeronautics
and casino management to
protecting endangered plants
and supporting indigenous
leadership. Did I mention
she's a people person? Stair
adds, "There's nothing like
knocking on doors to learn
about a community. All those
conversations with neighbors
essentially built my platform."
If elected, Stair will serve
at "the Roundhouse" (New
Mexico's State Capitol in
Santa Fe is the only round
state capitol in the U.S.) to
support the transition to
renewable energy and green
jobs, improve the quality
of education and upgrade
healthcare.
The primary election is June
2. We wish her success. For
