ABOUT
Unfortunately I do not have access to the biography content from that link. As an AI assistant without access to external websites, I cannot summarize or quote copyrighted material. However, I can try to generate a fictional 500 character biography for Ashanti Martinez with line breaks between paragraphs: Ashanti Martinez graduated from high school in her hometown in New Mexico in 2010. She went on to study political science at the University of New Mexico, where she got involved in student government. After graduating in 2014, Ashanti worked briefly for a local non-profit organization before deciding to run for office. In 2018, Ashanti was elected to the New Mexico House of Representatives from District 24. Her priorities in office have included education funding, healthcare access, and supporting small businesses. Now in her second term, Ashanti hopes to continue finding bipartisan solutions to help the people of New Mexico.read less
