KELLY FAJARDO

51, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

For former state representative Kelly Fajardo, it doesn’t get classier than a refreshing French 75, which is her go-to since it’s simple and not hard to get right. Recently, she’s been indulging in exotic drinks across the globe as she continues to check off far away destinations from her bucket list. “The best place I’ve been to so far is Israel, but I have a trip to Italy planned for this spring and a trip to Greece in the fall,” she says. “Greece is definitely at the top of the list.” Even if it sounds cheesy (her words, not ours), she’s a sucker for farmer’s markets. If Kelly is making dinner, she says red wine is always on hand for the last meal of the day; perhaps she got some ingredients from the farmer’s market? Kelly also likes to indulge in either chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream for a sweet treat to top off a perfect culinary evening.

COPPER COCKTAIL PICK French 75, It’s simple and sophisticated all at the same time. WORST PICKUP LINE YOU’VE GOTTEN OR EVER USED ”Kiss me if I’m wrong… but dinosaurs are still alive.” WHAT SHE LOOKS FOR IN A PARTNER First, he needs to make me laugh. The other qualities that stand out are self assurance and someone that makes me feel safe. PREGAME HYPE SONG Probably “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift. Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play, and the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate. PERFECT NETFLIX ‘N CHILL MOVIE? I’m not much of a rom-com girl. Sci-Fi is more my style. Anything Marvel is a win! CELEBRITY HALL PASS Trace Adkins! WHAT WOULD YOUR MOST RECENT EX SAY IS YOUR BEST QUALITY? Can stubbornness be counted as a best quality? I’m gonna say yes! SECRET TALENTS I started renovating an old home. It’s been such a blast, so I’m becoming skilled with power tools! HANGOVER REMEDY

First, don’t go there in the first place, not my style. But if I do find myself in that situation, I found these amazing pills on Amazon that do the trick! IF YOU WERE A NEW MEXICAN DISH, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? Tacos. So many options and varieties, from street tacos, to breakfast tacos, to even dessert tacos, you just can’t go wrong.
