Bronwen Murray is the Executive Director of SAG-AFTRA’s Colorado and New Mexico Locals. She brings to the role a deep background in public policy, the performing arts, and political consulting. At the New Mexico Legislature, Murray advanced major reforms, including the elimination of out-of-pocket costs for behavioral health treatment and passage of a secure firearm storage law recognized by Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House.

In addition to her public policy initiatives, Murray has worked on political campaigns across the country, including Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign in New Hampshire and U.S. Senator Jackie Rosen’s 2018 campaign in Nevada. Her career has long bridged politics and the arts, reflecting her belief in the power of both to shape communities and improve lives.

First eligible to join SAG in 1995 for her role in Disney’s Tom & Huck, Murray has continued to perform in film and television, with recent appearances in Outer Range and Vengeance. She has also produced entertainment, served on SAG-AFTRA’s New Mexico Board, and today draws on her dual experience in policy and performance as proof of a conviction she carries across both worlds: when policy and people work together anything is possible.

Murray earned her bachelor’s degree in Communication, graduating summa cum laude from Auburn University, and a Master of Science from Northwestern University. She makes her home in Santa Fe with her partner, Anderson, where she enjoys the city’s blend of history, art, and nature. An avid film enthusiast and collector, she has a particular love for classic cinema and modern 4K restorations.
