Brittney Barreras is an American politician who served as a member of the New Mexico House of Representatives for the 12th district from January 2021 to February 2022. As an independent candidate, Barreras defeated incumbent Democratic write-in candidate Art De La Cruz, who had been nominated to the seat in September 2020 after the resignation of Patricio Ruiloba. However, one week after the general election, Barreras announced that she was joining the Democratic Party, saying that it would have been difficult to win re-election as an Independent.[1]
