Political viewsPublic healthThomson introduced legislation to establish the New Mexico Fall Prevention Task Force. The goal of the task force is to prevent older adult falls. (In New Mexico, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths, hospitalizations, and emergency department visits among older adults.) The program includes an awareness campaign about modifiable fall risk factors as well as increase availability of fall prevention classes around the state.[4] It was enacted by the legislature and signed into law in 2014. Animal WelfareThomson has been a strong opponent of horse slaughter. In the legislature, Thomson sponsored House Bill 121 which would have banned the use of horses as a foodsource,[5] and House Bill 120 which would have required horses be husbanded according to state regulations for livestock. Neither measure passed out of committee.[6] Thomson also voted for a bill that would prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs by racehorses.
