In 2019, Chasey introduced legislation that would prohibit disenfranchisement of felons. If the bill is successful, New Mexico would become the third state (in addition to Maine and Vermont ) to allow felons to vote while serving sentences.[ 4]
Chasey became Majority Leader of the New Mexico House of Representatives in 2023. She did not run for re-election in 2024, and she was replaced by fellow Democrat Marianna Anaya .
