These are common times when people are tired.They usually happen when the driver is the only person in the vehicle, and they drive off the road at a high rate of speed.The crashes frequently happen on rural roads and highways.NMDOT encourages drivers to take breaks on long trips and avoid driving if they become too tired.",

        "body": "Rep. Gail ArmstrongPolitical and academic circles were abuzz with speculation in February that billionaire businesswoman Meg Whitman was interested in becoming the next president of the University of New Mexico. We broke the story of her apparent interest on our February 4 blog but it was left unconfirmed. Now it has been confirmed quite publicly and vocally by state House Minority Leader Gail Armstrong. She says UNM missed an \"extraordinary opportunity\" when they passed over Whitman for the presidency.The Regents named five finalists in April to replace outgoing president Garnett Stokes but Whitman, who settled in ABQ in early 2025 when her husband,\u00a0Griffith Harsh, was named chairman of the UNM neurosurgery department,\u00a0did not make the list.\u00a0Whitman, a Republican turned Dem who once ran for California Governor, has personal wealth put at $3.6 billion by Forbes which ranked her as the 1,100 richest person on the planet.\u00a0But being a billionaire these days isn't exactly a gateway to popularity especially among progressives who are influential in university communities. That Whitman had an MBA from Harvard but not a Ph.D was also an issue, indicates Armstrong.\u00a0When Whitman, 69, penned a newspaper op-ed\u00a0commenting on the state economy the buzz over her and UNM leaped several decibels. That's an angle Leader Armstrong drew on in praising Whitman and declaring that UNM missed out when they passed her over.\u00a0Excerpts:Meg Whitman, one of the most accomplished executives in modern American  business and public service, sought the presidency of University of New  Mexico. A former Fortune 50 CEO and U.S. ambassador, she was eliminated  before reaching the final round of interviews, denied even the  opportunity to present her vision to the broader university community. . .Whitman. . . transformed eBay from a startup  into a global enterprise, demonstrating an ability to  scale organizations, manage complexity, and compete at the highest  levels. At Hewlett-Packard, she led one of the most significant  corporate restructurings in recent history. . . In public service, she  represented the United States as ambassador to Kenya. .\u00a0 These are not academic exercises. They are real-world demonstrations of  leadership under pressure, exactly the kind of experience that large,  complex institutions require.\u00a0Meg WhitmanCritics may point out that she does not come from a traditional higher  education background. That is true. But. . . many of the most effective university presidents have  come from outside academia, bringing. . . a results-oriented mindset that legacy systems often  lack. Leading a modern research university is not only about academic  credentials, managing a multi-billion dollar enterprise (and) driving innovation. Our state continues to struggle near the bottom in education  outcomes. . . Too often, we default to  familiar choices rather than pursuing bold, forward-looking leadership.\u00a0What could a Whitman presidency have meant for UNM? It would have meant proven executive leadership at the highest level,  someone who understands how to build organizations, attract top talent,  and deliver results. It would have meant immediate national and international visibility,  elevating UNM\u2019s profile and competitiveness. . .Institutions that  are unwilling to pursue top-tier leadership should not be surprised when  they struggle to achieve top-tier outcomes. The University of New Mexico is too important to settle for  incrementalism. It should be a driver of innovation, economic growth,  and opportunity. . .UNM deserved a bold choice. Instead, the Regents allowed an  extraordinary opportunity to pass them by.\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.\u00a0E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": " Screenshot, KOAT via YouTube New Mexico Republican candidates split on major NM issues in TV debate",
        "body": "New Mexico\u2019s three Republican gubernatorial candidates squared off Wednesday night in a televised, 30-minute KOAT debate, offering voters a clearer picture of where the GOP primary contenders stand on taxes, education, crime, immigration, and the future of the state fairgrounds as the June 2 primary approaches. The debate featured Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull, businessman and former Human Services Secretary Duke Rodriguez, and businessman Doug Turner. While the candidates largely agreed on broad conservative themes such as cutting taxes, supporting ICE detention contracts, and criticizing Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s outgoing administration, the debate also revealed notable differences on policy specifics and governing style. All three candidates pointed to New Mexico\u2019s crime and education crises as top priorities, though each emphasized different root causes and solutions. Rodriguez argued crime is the state\u2019s single biggest issue, saying it touches nearly every other policy area. \u201cWhen we deal with crime, we talk about fixing poverty, fixing a failing education system, dealing with mental health, addiction,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cAll those issues collide.\u201d Hull, meanwhile, said education is the foundational issue. \u201cIf we\u2019re not educating our kids, we are failing them,\u201d Hull said, arguing better schools would strengthen the workforce and reduce long-term crime. Turner focused heavily on educational outcomes and CYFD failures, noting that nearly half of New Mexico\u2019s third graders cannot read at grade level. \u201cWe have been failing our children in this state for 30 years, and that has to end now,\u201d Turner said. All three Republicans blasted the recently enacted law banning local governments from contracting with ICE detention facilities. Turner argued the law harms rural economies and makes little practical sense. \u201cICE is going to use facilities somewhere,\u201d Turner said. \u201cThey might as well go to our state and promote economic growth in those communities.\u201d Rodriguez said the law unfairly assumes New Mexico counties cannot run detention facilities humanely. Hull said shutting down such contracts \u201csends a message that we\u2019re not willing to hold people accountable.\u201d Perhaps the strongest consensus of the night came on tax reform, with all three candidates calling for major reductions. Rodriguez took the most aggressive stance, promising sweeping tax elimination. \u201cI said eliminate state personal income tax,\u201d Rodriguez declared. \u201cEliminate New Mexico gross receipts tax on all retail sales.\u201d Hull similarly endorsed eliminating the state income tax while calling for broader reform of gross receipts and property taxes. Turner proposed reducing the personal income tax to 3% over time while also pursuing long-term gross receipts tax reform. The debate\u2019s clearest divide emerged over the future of Expo New Mexico and the state fairgrounds. Hull strongly backed keeping the fairgrounds in its current Albuquerque location. \u201cThe state fair needs to stay right where it\u2019s at,\u201d Hull said, calling it part of the city\u2019s and state\u2019s identity. Turner broke with Hull, arguing the site should be redeveloped for more productive uses and the fair moved elsewhere. \u201cWe\u2019re 32,000 housing units short in this state,\u201d Turner said, suggesting the land could be used for housing, a stadium, or other redevelopment. Rodriguez took a middle-ground approach, saying the decision should be left to the next administration after stakeholder input. The candidates also offered varying critiques of the state\u2019s universal child care program. Rodriguez, who recently sued the Lujan Grisham administration over the initiative, reiterated that he supports child care assistance but argued the current rollout is unlawful and unsustainable. \u201cIt has to be a program that is lawful, legal, and sustainable,\u201d Rodriguez said. Turner said he supports the concept but wants means testing added. \u201cAn extremely wealthy person shouldn\u2019t have the state paying for their child care,\u201d Turner said. Hull questioned whether the state has the infrastructure and budget capacity to sustain the program long-term. With early voting beginning May 5, the debate gave Republican voters one of their final major opportunities to compare the three candidates side by side. Though all three candidates offered similar criticism of Democratic governance, Wednesday\u2019s debate showed meaningful differences in tone, priorities, and policy specifics that could shape the outcome of the increasingly competitive GOP primary. The winner will advance to face the Democratic nominee in November, along with independent candidate former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima. WATCH: Give credit where credit is due.  Duke has been on the radio several times talking about his thoughts and plans.   Hull has been invisible and turner has a few ads.   I had no idea who Duke was at first,  but he gives a good account of himself and EDUCATES the public, which the repub party should be doing daily, but doesnt.   Any one of these 3 would be a trillion times better than Sam or Deb.   Nm has the blue state blues,  last in everything.   no tax breaks.   vote repub and lets stop this mindless state death spiral. Has Duke disclosed he\u2019s a transplant from AZ? Court records show he cast ballots in Arizona, where he owns a house and has referred to himself in legal filings as a \u201cresident of Scottsdale,\u201d from 2002 through 2024. He\u2019s heavily into cannabis which is controversial in itself. Doug is having a fundraiser in Mar-a-Lago next week. Should he really be focusing on fundraising from out of state? I don\u2019t want out-of-staters deciding who will be the next Governor of NM. Considering how blue NM is, I doubt it\u2019s a good idea for Doug to align himself with Trump if he were to run in the general election. Hull has been invisible? He has actually traveled throughout the state, talking to voters in cities and small towns, raking in grassroots donations from New Mexicans. He realizes he needs to introduce himself to those who don\u2019t know him as we do in Rio Rancho. Hull is the only candidate who has actual experience in running a government and has been quite successful at it. Every one has ideas but Hull knows how to implement those ideas. Each of these republican candidates have different strengths and weaknesses.  Each could bring different things to the table in NM. I have enjoyed living in Rio Rancho with Greg Hull as mayor and believe he could do a great job. Either way, voting starts May 5 \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 I don\u2019t trust Pot Dealer Duke who I believe still lives in AZ. I\u2019m supporting Turner. Your email address will not be published.

        "body": "New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Wednesday ordered the state\u2019s environment department to immediately resume health and food safety inspections, which had been paused since last Friday. According to a news release, the department stopped inspections due to a $1.2 million budget shortfall stemming from the most recent legislation session. Lujan Grisham said her office is working with the Department of Finance and Administration and legislative staff to identify funds to transfer to the department to resume inspections. \u201cThe Environment Department\u2019s decision to halt inspections was premature,\u201d Lujan Grisham said in a statement. \u201cWe will resolve the agency\u2019s budget shortfall to ensure the crucial service of providing health and safety inspections is uninterrupted moving forward.\u201d The Environmental Health Bureau oversees inspections of food service establishments, including in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and detention centers, along with public pools and septic systems across the state. The bureau employs 35 inspectors, who conduct about 17,500 inspections per year. According to NMED Director of Communications Drew Goretzka, the budget gap translated into approximately $800,000 in unmet payroll costs for the bureau along with a roughly $400,000 shortfall for overhead, such as travel costs for inspections or vehicle maintenance. He said the department did not anticipate any backlogs from the three-day hiatus.

        "title": "With Promises of Money, Controversial Gas Pipeline on Navajo Nation Passes First Hurdle",
        "body": "A 234-mile stretch of pipeline that could carry natural gas or natural gas-hydrogen blends across the Navajo Nation is a step closer to reality. The Resources and Development Committee of the Navajo Nation Council passed a resolution at the end of March to conditionally allow Tallgrass Energy \u2013 through its subsidiary GreenView Resources \u2013 to begin work on a section of a natural gas pipeline that will traverse the Navajo Nation, running from a spot near Farmington, New Mexico, to another spot roughly 40 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona. It is the only vote the Nation will take on this measure. It is also the only segment of the pipeline to be publicly announced. The resolution passed 3-1, with one council member absent and committee chair Brenda Jesus abstaining. According to the resolution, the right-of-way is contingent on completion \u201cof all required environmental studies and archaeological clearances.\u201d But the committee debate focused primarily on money \u2013 who had it and how to get more of it. \u201cAs tribes we don\u2019t have the capital or the equity to have Indian tribes and Indian Country be able to build out a project of this magnitude,\u201d Jesus said. \u201cAt the end of the day, we have to partner up.\u201d Committee member and resolution co-sponsor Danny Simpson said, \u201cAny type of energy development we propose on the Navajo Nation we will definitely have opposition. \u2026 And it stops projects.\u201d But, he continued, \u201cIf we don\u2019t have any revenues \u2026 how can we help our communities?\u201d The project is already five years in the making. Plans initially called for the pipeline to transport hydrogen but shifted last year to natural gas or a blend of the two. The change was made without consulting the Navajo Nation, rankling many. During the March hearing, Otto Tso, delegate to the Navajo Nation Council, was clearly still bothered by the shift away from hydrogen and said, \u201cWe had to find this out through a third-party source.\u201d He was the only committee member to vote against the resolution allowing Tallgrass to begin work. \u201cMy issue is that you\u2019re going forward rather radically,\u201d Tso said. \u201cWe don\u2019t do this for our (Navajo) enterprises. We don\u2019t give them this.\u201d At the hearing, Adam Schiche, vice president for business development at Tallgrass Energy, responded, \u201cWe\u2019ve tried to be transparent about our intentions.\u201d He said the hydrogen was planned for Asian markets and the fuel change \u201cwas a market decision. The market decided there was a need for natural gas, particularly for power centers, for data centers.\u201d The fuel change also altered the project\u2019s environmental underpinnings. The original plan would have transported hydrogen for clean energy and industrial projects. The plan now calls for natural gas or natural gas-hydrogen blends to be burned for electricity. It wasn\u2019t clear that everyone on the committee understood the difference in the fuels. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about energy. And we\u2019re talking about clean energy,\u201d Simpson said during the hearing. Natural gas is not generally considered a clean energy source \u2013 burning it generates climate-warming and air-polluting emissions, and leaks in its production chain lead to further climate-warming emissions and air pollution. \u201cI know that natural gas still comes from a fossil fuel,\u201d Simpson continued, \u201cbut the Navajo Nation needs to enforce clean energy.\u201d In the end he voted to let the project proceed. This legislation was the first official step for a pipeline that will require buy-in and permits across multiple governments. As of publication there were no publicly filed documents referencing either Tallgrass or GreenView with the regulatory agencies in New Mexico, Arizona or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the prime federal pipeline permitting agency. Those permits and subsequent construction will likely take years. The project could supply fuel for up to three new power plants in Phoenix and Yuma, Arizona. Steven Davidson, senior vice president for government and public affairs at Tallgrass, said the company is courting other customers \u201cacross the Southwest\u201d as well. A slide from a Tallgrass presentation to the Arizona Corporation Commission last year read, \u201cTallgrass\u2019 GreenView project is the bold, forward-looking solution Arizona needs to ensure reliable and affordable energy.\u201d The slide shows arrows connecting a major Tallgrass pipeline in northwest Colorado with Arizona, passing through New Mexico and Utah along the way. Even so, Davidson said the project start is centered on the San Juan Basin around Farmington and is \u201cnot planning to go up to Colorado at this point.\u201d At the March 30 hearing, debate focused less on environmental and permitting concerns than on annual payments by Tallgrass to communities along the proposed route. In addition to annual fees paid to the tribe based on the length of the pipeline and the amount of land used for compressor stations, roads and other facilities, the committee members debated an amendment under which Tallgrass would pay roughly $30,000 to each of the 13 local government chapter houses along the route, totaling $400,000 annually. Committee member Rickie Nez spoke directly to Tallgrass\u2019 Schiche during the meeting and said, \u201cWe want you to take an oath and say yes, we\u2019re gonna do this. We\u2019re gonna take care of the chapters. And we\u2019re gonna give them $400,000.\u201d Schiche replied, \u201cI\u2019m going to be as succinct as I can possibly be, 100% on the record. We will support a $400,000 community benefit program for local chapters from day one, starting today.\u201d In response, Nez said, \u201cI believe that Mr. Schiche\u2019s word is what he spoke into law verbally and it is what they will do.\u201d Thirty minutes later, Nez addressed Schiche again and said, \u201cYou\u2019re an energy company. You\u2019re gonna use Navajo land. Yes, I agree that you\u2019re gonna pay the Navajo Nation.\u201d But he continued, \u201cMr. Schiche, I believe $30,000 (per chapter house) is not enough. \u2026 What is the maximum that you can do?\u201d \u201cWe haven\u2019t signed all the customer commitments yet to make even one dollar off this project,\u201d Schiche replied. \u201cIrregardless of that, our commitment has been steadfast to bring benefits to the Navajo Nation.\u201d Schiche said, \u201cWe\u2019ve given close to a million dollars in benefits already to these local communities, and we will continue to offer benefits even outside of this community benefits program.\u201d He added that Tallgrass had already budgeted $30,000 per chapter house for the next year, but \u201cI\u2019d be happy to entertain the $50,000 per chapter per year for the annual fund. I will find a way to rob the piggy bank.\u201d Nez said the next council could perhaps negotiate the better deal and continued, \u201cI know as well as Mr. Schiche that when he says, \u2018We haven\u2019t made a dollar\u2019 I know that he is going to make tons of money. Tons of cash. That we understand, and that is why we are here.\u201d Controversy preceded the meeting. The bill was first posted on the Navajo Nation\u2019s website at 4 p.m. on Friday, March 13, with the public comment period ending the following Wednesday. By Monday, a slew of New Mexico businesses and state politicians had written in support of the measure, including Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. By the time comments closed, state Sen. William Sharer, five state representatives, the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce, the Jicarilla Apache Nation Council, the dean of the San Juan College School of Energy in Farmington as well as Farmington and San Juan County officials had written in support of the project. In all, the council tallied 32 messages in favor of permitting the Tallgrass/GreenView pipeline and just seven opposed. One of those opposed was T\u00f3 Nizh\u00f3n\u00ed \u00c1n\u00ed, a conservation group led by Nicole Horseherder. \u201cThere needed to be a lot more work done before this vote came up,\u201d she said. Her group was surprised by the timing and filed its dissent days after the initial deadline for comment. \u201cThis came up all the sudden,\u201d she said, \u201cand was not on the agenda the prior week.\u201d She said the short public comment period was designed to prevent groups like hers from commenting. T\u00f3 Nizh\u00f3n\u00ed \u00c1n\u00ed has fought the pipeline at the local level for the past four years and in that time collected petitions from 16 chapter houses opposed to the plan, both along and outside the proposed route. After more than a century of fossil fuel development on the Nation with little prosperity and long-term environmental problems to show for it, the group objects to any new projects that continue the legacy. \u201cIf they\u2019re going to move forward in this manner, then they should have a three-fourths vote of the (committee) before it can pass,\u201d Horseherder said. With a missing committee member and the chair abstaining, \u201cThat is power-tripping. That is trying to hoard all the power,\u201d she said. Horseherder said that at this point, the only way the project would not happen is if Tallgrass decides to step back. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen the Navajo Nation pull back from a project when it gets past this first step,\u201d Horseherder said. \u201cThat\u2019s been my experience and I\u2019ve seen it a number of times.\u201d Carolyn Raffensperger, the executive director of the Science and Environmental Health Network, worked alongside tribes in the yearslong fight against the controversial 1,172-mile-long Dakota Access Pipeline, reviewing state and federal permits as well as construction of that project. She also drafted a handbook for pipeline construction monitors. Even so, she said, \u201cWe lost, but it was a good run.\u201d Raffensperger said that companies have used early permits \u201cto sort of ask forgiveness rather than permission for various phases \u2026 especially if they\u2019ve got a major permit to construct the pipeline.\u201d She said companies use the early work as a bargaining chip for later work, arguing, \u201cHow could you possibly cause the state (or tribe) to lose so much money when we\u2019ve already invested?\u201d She added, \u201cWe know a lot about natural gas in the Southwest. There\u2019s a lot of it. But hydrogen (is) really different. Hydrogen is pretty explosive. \u2026 Are they prepared for the kinds of big problems that these pipelines can pose?\u201d This story was originally published by Capital & Main and is republished here with permission.

        "title": "New Mexico Primary 2026: Secretary of State",
        "body": "Two county clerks, Katharine Clark from Santa Fe and Amanda L\u00f3pez Askin from Do\u00f1a Ana, are vying for the Democratic nomination as New Mexico\u2019s next top elections official, arguing they have the expertise to push back against federal incursion at the ballot box. The New Mexico Secretary of State oversees the state\u2019s elections, enforces ethics rules and maintains the state\u2019s records, documents and laws. The position is also third in line to govern after the governor and lieutenant governor. Current Democratic Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver cannot run for the seat again, having served two consecutive terms, and is running in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor. The top election official will face new challenges as President Donald Trump has called for the federal government to exercise authority over state-run elections, and has also pushed efforts to pass federal legislation that would require voters to show passports or other photo identification to participate in elections. New Mexico, along with five other states, is embroiled in a lawsuit against the federal government for refusing to produce voter lists with personal identification. The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican candidate Ramona Goolsby in the Nov. 3 general election. Goolsby, a family nurse practitioner from Rio Rancho, is running unopposed in the primary. Source NM posed several questions to both candidates about their races. Their answers have been edited for clarity and concision. Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine Clark, elected to a second term in 2024, is a self-described \u201celections nerd,\u201d and says she aims to modernize the Secretary of State\u2019s Office. \u201cThe next secretary of state is going to need to protect rights from federal overreach, but also ensure a planned transition to infrastructure that can truly support the vision of making sure that our state truly is the easiest place for people who have the right to vote can,\u201d Clark said. Her education includes a bachelor\u2019s degree in cognitive neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley and a master\u2019s degree in management and public policy from the University of New Mexico. Clark, 44, is also an executive committee member for the national Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which lost funding under the Trump administration. What makes you the most qualified candidate? I am the only person in the state who has both the state and national election administration certifications. I believe election administration is a profession. I have worked very hard at a national level to ensure that our vote is protected. Thirty-six states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, and recent polling shows that many Americans support using photo ID to register \u2013 what is your position? I\u2019m against voter IDs. Simply, for New Mexicans particularly, it\u2019s challenging, that was demonstrated with Real ID challenges. We\u2019ve not seen, in terms of data, a real need for them. There is misinformation or a misperception that it would be somehow easy, when it\u2019s not. A lot of voters would have serious challenges with meeting Real ID requirements, like tribal members, unhoused. We have a voter ID in New Mexico; people like it. Voting rights groups recently sued Trump\u2019s Department of Justice over its efforts to build a database of voter information. How concerned should voters be about this? I do think voters should be concerned. Because we don\u2019t want the federal government to try to essentially do an end run around what Congress and the Constitution intended, which is that local and state election officials are the ones to control voter registration and voter eligibility. How effective has New Mexico been at protecting the integrity of its elections and are there any additional steps you would take to bolster election integrity? Generally, New Mexico has one of the best practices in terms of canvassing and proving that the results that we get on election night \u2013 which are the unofficial results \u2013 are, in fact, reconciled and become the official results. The counties canvass, the state canvasses and we have a random audit program to pull ballots and hand tally them. I do think we should ensure every tabulator has additional battery packs, consider GPS tracking all our absentee ballots and establish a new voter registration database to replace the old technology we\u2019re using. How would you respond to voters who are concerned about the fairness of upcoming elections? People are concerned that elections officials are biased or that their votes won\u2019t count or that (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) might be intimidating people from casting their ballots. Both ends of the spectrum have different concerns about fairness. I think we have a very robust process to make the vote fair in New Mexico. Our (state) Constitution and our rules, are very clear that all of the tabulating, all of the oversight, is done by bipartisan teams. We have a poll observer program in New Mexico built into the system. It\u2019s literally baked in to make sure that there are always eyes on the process. As for ICE, I sent a letter telling them they are not allowed at our polling sites, to work directly with our sheriff\u2019s office if they needed to be in the area, but that in our view, mere presence is voter intimidation and we plan to enforce that. What state legislation would you advocate for in the future for New Mexico\u2019s elections? I think the language on the ballot when people vote should be put in layman\u2019s terms. There\u2019s other states that have a bipartisan committee to ensure the language is a fifth- to eighth grade- reading level and tells you what you\u2019re voting for or against. There\u2019s not a lot of language about what happens in an emergency. With wildfires and flooding, we need to ensure that people have access to the vote. It\u2019s part of the secretary of state\u2019s job to plan ahead for the climate realities we\u2019re seeing in the world. How would you work to protect poll workers and other election officials, given the rise in threats against them? We hire extra security in Santa Fe County. It\u2019s the reality of what we have to do, and I think I\u2019d probably fight for the funding that we get at Santa Fe County for other offices all over the state. Do\u00f1a Ana County commissioners appointed Amanda L\u00f3pez Askin to the office just two months before the 2018 mid-term elections after the previous county clerk resigned. She has since won reelections in 2020 and 2024. L\u00f3pez Askin cited her experience in dealing with \u201cchallenges and threats during her eight-year tenure in office. Those challenges included a death threat by former Republican candidate Solomon Pe\u00f1a, before his arrest for organizing four shootings at the homes of four Democratic politicians after he lost an election for a New Mexico House of Representatives seat. She said addressing election misinformation before it escalates is needed to rebuild trust in democracy. \u201cGetting in front and center of concerns about elections, building relationships in the community is an integral part of my leadership, and I want to take that to a statewide level,\u201d she said. L\u00f3pez Askin has a master\u2019s degree in marriage and family therapy, along with a Ph.D in educational leadership from New Mexico State University. What makes you the most qualified candidate? I\u2019ve run 12 elections in the second most-populous county with some of the most contentious elections, often with the least resources. Elections are difficult, no matter where you run them. But in southern New Mexico, not only do we have to administer elections, but (we have to) fight the election denial narrative that something is amiss with elections. Thirty-six states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls, and recent polling shows that many Americans support using photo ID to register \u2013 what is your position? There\u2019s a bit of a misnomer. New Mexico does have voter ID laws, as you\u2019re often required to show a photo identification when you register to vote. There are three ways in which New Mexicans must prove their identity at the ballot box or seek an absentee ballot. Using a photo ID or voter registration card, or the third method, which is affirming information known only to the voter. We have to dispel the myth that there\u2019s not any identification needed in New Mexico to register to vote. You cannot register to vote without having proven through several sources who you are. Voting rights groups recently sued Trump\u2019s Department of Justice over its efforts to build a database of U.S. voter information. How concerned should voters be about this push? We were one of the states that quickly said, \u2018we will protect New Mexico\u2019s private, personal private information.\u2019 We\u2019re seeking for the federal government to basically conform to the current law and will resist any attempts of overreach together. We have no idea what the list is being used for. We have no idea if the information that they gather and put in the list is correct. Frankly, that should be a concern to every New Mexican, regardless of political affiliation. How effective has New Mexico been at protecting the integrity of its elections and are there any additional steps you would take to bolster election integrity? New Mexico has been front and center and leading on integrity. Despite the naysayers, in the last eight years since I\u2019ve been doing the job, we have best practices in New Mexico that are nationally recognized, including handmarked paper ballots, audits at every step of the way, post-election machine checks and certification. We have election officials of different parties that serve on the front line. The more eyes on the election, the better. How would you respond to voters who are concerned about the fairness of upcoming elections? We encourage people to get involved in the process, whether as an election official or poll watcher or observer, and see for themselves how well New Mexico elections are run. If you\u2019re concerned about our elections, if you\u2019re concerned about your right to vote, or other people\u2019s rights to vote, then we\u2019re starting with a lot in common. There should be no \u2018us versus them.\u2019 It\u2019s all voters who are concerned and we need to engage. If you see something wrong, report it to the New Mexico Secretary of State\u2019s office or the attorney general or district attorney for a full investigation. It\u2019s important to validate people\u2019s concern because they are invested in democracy and so am I, but I also give them real, accurate information that hopefully they will take in. What state legislation would you advocate for in the future for New Mexico\u2019s elections? In the recent Voting Rights Act, we embedded the Native American Voting Rights Act and there are some aspects of that legislation that need to be fully implemented to support Indigenous and tribal communities. Frankly, one of the things that will continue to be a battle for the New Mexico secretary of state will be the budget; we need to make sure we\u2019re fully funded to support county clerks across the state. How would you work to protect poll workers and other election officials, given the rise in threats against them? Well, New Mexico is already a leader in stepping up and changing laws that advocate for additional penalties and more layers of protection for everyone that\u2019s involved in elections. New Mexico has its challenges and we have our differing opinions, politically. For the most part, far and wide, my fellow New Mexicans have been respectful of poll officials across our state and that\u2019s the good news, but we always have to have enhanced training and prepare them for de-escalation and the \u2018what ifs\u2019 for every election. [Poll workers] are our front lines and we literally could not run elections without them.

The Lions presented a $500 check to the Four Corners Stockmans Association, honoring its work to uplift and support local youth. The donation reflects a partnership rooted in service, with both organizations committed to expanding opportunities for young people \u2013 particularly those with disabilities, special needs or mental health challenges. Through scholarships, agricultural education, suicide prevention outreach and inclusive events like the Unlimited Livestock Show, FCSA\u2019s and FELC\u2019s support the global cause of youth empowerment while helping preserve the region\u2019s agricultural traditions. Jennifer Halphen, president of the Four Corners Stockmans Association, was presented with a $500 check for it\u2019s work helping Farmington Evening Lions Club with its overall goals of youth empowerment. \u201cOne of the Global Causes for the Lions Clubs is Youth Empowerment bringing the work of FCSA to the forefront,\u201d said Wesley Brown, FELC president. \u201cFCSA helps provide financial and educational opportunities working with Youth with Disabilities and Special Needs.\u201d Additionally, FCSA works with suicide awareness, focusing on prevention and mental health services for young farmers and ranchers, Brown said. They help with scholarships for graduating high school seniors who are pursuing a career in agriculture-related fields. There are many other programs that help the youth in 4-H and the National FFA Organization, as well as other agriculture-related projects, Halphen said. The Unlimited Livestock Show at the county fair each year represents work with who who have special needs or are disabled. The youth show pigs at the event, giving them the opportunity to learn values, skills and help the traditions of agriculture to thrive for generations to come, Halphen said. \u201cFELC feels their work is a worthwhile cause, following our Global Cause for Youth Empowerment goals,\u201d Brown said. dalbright@tricityrecordnm.com  Choose from several print and digital subscription packages Sign up for our daily email newsletter or to receive breaking news delivered to your inbox: \u00a9 2026 Tri-City Record |         Ballantine Communications, Inc.

Albuquerque is one of about 3,000 demonstrations nationwide for May Day Strong, which builds on the \u201cno work, no school, no shopping\u201d January protests to resist the federal government\u2019s immigration policy following the crackdown in Minnesota. At least five New Mexico locales, including Albuquerque, appear planning to participate. In a news conference held Wednesday outside the Teamsters Local 492 office, various labor and immigrant group members posed with parasols painted with slogans such as \u201cpeople over profit\u201d and waved paddles emblazoned with \u201cworkers over billionaires.\u201d Jerry Thorn, an organizer for Teamsters, said nearly 40 groups are sponsoring the Albuquerque event at Civic Plaza, including unions, immigrant groups and democracy organizations. Neidi Dominguez, the executive director of immigrant labor group Organized Power in Numbers, criticized the Trump admissions rhetoric on immigration. \u201cThe labor movement cannot advance while ignoring the assault on democracy and immigrants in this country,\u201d Dominguez said. \u201cAnd pro-democracy movements cannot ask working people to defend abstract principles about voting or showing up to the polls while people cannot afford housing or paying their bills or just making ends meet \u2013 we need both.\u201d Dominguez said New Mexicans can do just that come Friday. \u201cWe\u2019re going to show what we can do together and remind people that we have collective power,\u201d Dominguez said. \u201cWhen we come together as working people, as immigrant workers, as blue collar workers, there\u2019s no sign stopping us, because we\u2019re the majority.\u201d Source NM is an independent, nonprofit news organization that shines a light on governments, policies and public officials.

Greg Thompson, the co-founder of Teraplex Data Centers LLC, told the City Council that he wanted to build a data center in the Gallup Tradeport with a tenant like Oracle, Meta, Amazon or Microsoft. Much like the Oracle and OpenAI Project Jupiter data center under construction in Do\u00f1a Ana County, Thompson said the Teraplex data center would supply its own electricity \u2013 in this instance, through a mix of solar power and natural gas. Once built, Thompson said the data center would employ about 300 people. Proposals for data centers to provide their own power have proven controversial in New Mexico. Project Jupiter\u2019s developers recently revised their plans to build two natural gas plants that would annually emit more greenhouse gases than Albuquerque and Las Cruces combined. The Gallup vote came two hours into the council meeting. Outside the chambers before the meeting began, a small group of protesters gathered with signs opposing the data center and accused the company of targeting Gallup along with other parts of rural New Mexico for centers they say degrade the environment. \u201cThey\u2019re going to ruin our sky. They\u2019re going to ruin the dirt. They\u2019re going to ruin the precious breath that I have left,\u201d Toni Pinedo, an Indigenous activist and Gallup resident, told Source NM. \u201cAll for what?\u201d While a majority of the council argued that they needed more information before casting a vote on the agreement, Mayor Marc DePauli said he was impressed by the data center developer\u2019s presentation. \u201cI was always skeptical and still kind of am about data centers \u2026 but bringing us the option of using our wastewater, it\u2019s kind of a deal-changer,\u201d DePauli, who was the lone elected official opposed to deferring the vote, said during Tuesday\u2019s meeting. \u201cOverall, on the water side, it works out pretty well for us.\u201d Thompson told Source NM after the meeting that the Washington, D.C.-based Teraplex, which incorporated late last year, has had \u201cinformal conversations\u201d with Gallup officials about a data center for the past several months. The company has not yet reached an agreement with a potential tenant for the complex, he said, though he listed Oracle, Microsoft or Meta as possibilities. He also stressed that the Tuesday evening meeting was the \u201cfirst of many steps\u201d and said he welcomed the community\u2019s input, as well as the council\u2019s decision to defer a vote. \u201cThis was just a \u2018hello,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to come back with our entire team to explain what\u2019s going on, and we want to address all of their concerns, because we share them, too. We are attempting to make a more-green data center compared to some of our other competitors, and we hope that\u2019s felt by the community.\u201d If approved, the agreement before the council would have let Teraplex buy nearly 110 million gallons of wastewater from Gallup annually. The city treats about 2.3 million gallons of wastewater each day, DePauli said. Approximately a dozen residents spoke against the agreement during the meeting\u2019s public comment period, many of whom referenced Gallup\u2019s depleting aquifer and ongoing interstate compact negotiations regarding the state\u2019s access to water. \u201cGallup has an unclear future concerning water rights,\u201d Larry Winn, who previously chaired the local water board, told the mayor and councilors, adding that data centers have come to earn a national reputation as \u201cthe biggest single problem there is \u2026 It\u2019s amazing to me how such a thing could be taken at face value,\u201d he said of Teraplex\u2019s vision for building a data center in the area. Eirena Begay, an Indigenous mother of four, urged councilors to be skeptical of the promises Teraplex was making about its environmental impacts or water usage. Even though the company seeks to use wastewater, she said the company\u2019s ambitions still amount to \u201crerouting a shared resource to serve a private enterprise.\u201d After listening to the community pushback, Councilor Ron Molina said he agreed that city leaders needed more information before making a decision. However, he said he didn\u2019t want people in attendance to \u201close sight of the fact that we need to bring industry\u201d to Gallup. From behind the dais, Councilor Sierra Yazzie Asamoa-Tutu held up a printed copy of a lawsuit that the New Mexico Environmental Law Center filed over Project Jupiter and said she wanted to urge her colleagues to defer the vote before going too far down the same road as Do\u00f1a Ana County officials. \u201cI understand the appeal,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat I\u2019m concerned about is what does this open the door to?\u201d Source NM is an independent, nonprofit news organization that shines a light on governments, policies and public officials.

        "title": "Conditions appear favorable for Shiprock Marathon on Saturday",
        "body": "SHIPROCK\u2013 The 44th annual Shiprock Marathon returns Saturday, bringing a weekend of high-desert racing to the Navajo Nation. As a Boston Marathon qualifier and part of the Abbott Marathon Majors Masters World Championships, the event remains the premier distance race in the region. The event offers more than just the signature 26.2-mile trek past the 1,800-foot volcanic pinnacle: The main events of the weekend include the full marathon which  kicks off Saturday at 7 a.m., followed by the half-marathon at 7:30 a.m. Both courses feature aid stations at every mile and live music from local bands. On Friday, a five-kilometer trail race at Blueberry Hill begins at 5 p.m., preceded by the Health and Wellness Expo and the \"Elder Run\" for participants ages 50 and older. The Shiprock Kids Marathon concludes this weekend, celebrating more than 500 local students who have completed their own \"marathon\" mileage throughout the spring. Among those likely to participate in the Shiprock Marathon this weekend is Kashon Harrison, a 25-year-old Fruitland resident and former Kirtland Central High School standout. Harrison set a blistering pace in 2025 on his way to winning the event just days he was convinced to register just 72 hours before the race. Harrison won the marathon in a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes and 40 seconds, shattering the course record which had stood for more than a decade. Harrison finished more than 30 minutes ahead of his nearest competitor, signaling a new era for the historic race. More than 500 participants are scheduled to participate in this year\u2019s events, which has grown in popularity since its inception and even more so in recent years following the pandemic. \u201cI think it really taught us a lot about the way we do things,\u201d said Shiprock Marathon director Tom Riggenbagh said. \u201cThe positives that came about as a result of the off years have seen our numbers of participation increase in all the events.\u201d The Shiprock Marathon, recognized as one of the top 10 races of its kind in America according to USA Today, is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon, held each spring for more than 125 years. The Abbott World Marathon Majors comprise over 375 qualifying races in which athletes in nine separate age groups can compete in\u202fmarathons across the world to earn a global ranking. Participation in the Shiprock Marathon earns runners points towards qualifying for the 2027 Age Group World Championships, which will be hosted within the Tokyo Marathon on March 7.\u200d\u200d\u200d The 2024 men\u2019s marathon was won by another local, Fruitland resident Timberlin Henderson, who crossed the wire ahead of his rivals to win with a time of 2:44:22. \u201cSo many marathons around the country, you\u2019re surrounded by buildings and out here, you\u2019re running over a lot of open land,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cYou have aid stations every mile and they take care of their runners which makes it very special.\u201d The weather is expected to be favorable for runners on Saturday, with sunny skies in the forecast and early morning temperatures in the mid 40\u2019s.

        "title": "New Mexico judge gives state the chance to argue its case in universal childcare lawsuit",
        "body": "A New Mexico district judge on Tuesday advanced a legal challenge to the state\u2019s new universal childcare program by issuing an order that allows state officials to either respond to the suit in court or pause the program. Republican gubernatorial candidate Duke Rodriguez, who co-filed the suit, hailed the judge\u2019s order as a win, while Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s administration characterized it as a routine order \u201cthat allows the state to respond before the court takes any action.\u201d Lujan Grisham announced the state\u2019s universal childcare initiative in September and said it would save families about $12,000 per child annually. Earlier this year, she signed Senate Bill 241, which created funding mechanisms for the program and established criteria for enacting co-pays during economic downturns, into law. Rodriguez previously told Source NM he believed Lujan Grisham had run afoul of an old New Mexico Supreme Court decision in which Rodriguez \u2013 who led the state Human Services Department under Gov. Gary Johnson \u2013 was accused of implementing a state program \u201cwithout seeking legislative approval.\u201d Tuesday\u2019s order from Second Judicial District Judge Elaine Lujan, Rodriguez said in a statement, \u201crepresents a victory for the New Mexico Constitution, for government transparency and for the people of New Mexico.\u201d Early Childhood Education and Care Department Secretary Elizabeth Groginsky in a statement, however, pushed back on Rodriguez\u2019s characterization of Tuesday\u2019s filing. \u201cThe department is actively working on a response and is confident the court will agree this case is without merit,\u201d she wrote. \u201cUniversal childcare is here to stay, as shown by the passage of Senate Bill 241. Families should rest assured that ECECD remains fully committed to protecting access to the services they need and rely on. The department will not waver in its mission to make quality childcare accessible to families across New Mexico.\u201d Lujan Grisham\u2019s Communications Director Michael Coleman in a statement to Source NM said the court on Tuesday rejected Rodriguez\u2019s request to pause universal childcare without giving the governor or the ECECD a chance to respond. The filing \u201cis a routine response that allows the state to respond before the court takes any action. Universal childcare remains in effect and New Mexico families have no reason for concern,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cThe New Mexico Legislature settled the legal question when it passed Senate Bill 241. The governor is confident the courts will agree and toss out this \u2018controversy\u2019 manufactured by a Republican political candidate.\u201d In a subsequent statement, Coleman characterized the lawsuit as \u201cfrivolous\u201d and Rodriguez as \u201ca third-tier Republican candidate\u201d making \u201ca despicable attempt to mislead New Mexico families and generate headlines for a campaign that is going nowhere.\u201d Rodriguez, however, maintains that SB241\u2019s passage does not address his concerns because it was passed after the program\u2019s implementation and because it didn\u2019t carry an emergency clause, meaning it doesn\u2019t go into effect until May 20. \u201cWith the court\u2019s order in hand, the governor can now do the right thing and start over, or she can continue to create chaos for families,\u201d Rodriguez said in a statement.

        "title": "District showdowns kick off final week of baseball season",
        "body": "FARMINGTON \u2013 The Cibola High baseball team used a pair of big innings to pull clear of Farmington High 11-5 Tuesday at Ricketts Park as the regular season in prep baseball quickly approaches the finish line. Meantime, the Rio Rancho High baseball team secured its second straight district title at home on Tuesday, pulling clear of Piedra Vista by a final of 9-6. The final games of the regular season for within District 1-5A will take place Friday, just days before state postseason tournament rankings and seedings are announced by the New Mexico Activities Association. The Rams are currently ranked second in Class 5A according to the most recent polling by Maxpreps, with district rivals Cleveland ranked ahead of them and the Panthers ranked third. For Farmington, Tuesday\u2019s loss at home against Cibola drops the Scorpions to 1-8 in district games (8-17 overall) with one final regular season game against Piedra Vista coming up Friday ay 7 p.m. The Cougars, led by a 4-RBI performance from Isaac Brito as well as a pair of RBI from Daniel Kean and Jacob Escobedo, rallied from a 4-2 deficit to score three times in the fifth inning before pouring it on late with a six-run rally in the sixth inning to earn the win. Cibola (11-14 overall, 3-6 district) opened the scoring in the top of the second inning with a solo home run from Escobedo, then doubled that lead in the top of the third inning when Tyler Wright scored off the bat of an RBI single by Kean. Farmington rallied to grab the lead in the home half of the fourth inning thanks to a pair of RBI off the bat of Darnell Joe, who drove in Danny Hagstrom and Gabe Matamoros. The Scorpions added to the lead when Wyatt Boognl scored on an RBI single by LT Howard, giving them a 4-2 advantage heading to the fifth inning. Cibola immediately responded, scoring three times to reclaim the lead. Kean\u2019s sacrifice fly scored Ryan Puentes before Aidan De La O scored on passed ball to tie the game and Wright scored on a single by Brito. The Cougars broke the game open in the sixth, scoring six times and sending 12 men to the plate. The six-run outburst also forced Farmington starting pitcher Nate Sewell off the mound after surrendering seven runs on eight hits through 5 1/3 innings. Boognl got roughed up on the mound in relief, giving up four runs on three hits and recording only one out before he was replaced by Hagstrom. Cibola starting pitcher Ryan Hutchinson went five innings and gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four to pick up the win. Joe crossed the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning for the Scorpions, who have now lost five in a row and are likely to miss the NMAA postseason. Farmington entered the week ranked 18th in Class 5A with Cibola ranked 16th in the classification. The Rio Rancho High baseball team wrapped up the district title with a 9-6 win at home Tuesday over Piedra Vista. The Panthers jumped on the board first in the top of the second inning when Alexis Hernandez laced a line-drive double to right field, bringing home Alejandro Hernandez for a 1-0 lead. However, the Rams responded in the bottom half of the frame. Brayden Bustillos tied the game with an RBI single before Wyatt Tinker broke the game open with a three-run blast to center field. Dean Ellison added an RBI double later in the inning to cap a five-run surge, giving Rio Rancho a 5-1 cushion. Piedra Vista chipped away in the third, taking advantage of control issues from the Rio Rancho staff. Alejandro Hernandez drove in a run with a single, followed by a bases-loaded walk by Cody Clugston and a hit-by-pitch from Amasi Griego that cut the deficit to 5-4. The Panthers briefly reclaimed the lead in the fourth inning when Kyle Murphy tattooed a two-run home run to center field, scoring Tony Reynolds and putting Piedra Vista ahead 6-5. The lead was short-lived. In the bottom of the fourth, Ellison struck again with a two-run single to left, scoring Tinker and Bustillos. Rio Rancho added an insurance run on a Piedra Vista error in the outfield that allowed Chase Rivera to cross the plate, extending the lead to 8-6. Logan Sunstrom provided the final exclamation point for the Rams in the fifth inning, a solo home run to left field to seal the 9-6 victory. Piedra Vista will wrap up the season Friday at 7 p.m. against crosstown rival Farmington at Ricketts Park. The Panthers are tied with Cleveland at 6-3 in the district standings. The Rams wrap up the regular season on the road Friday to face Cleveland. The Class 5A state tournament opens Friday with top seeds hosting a best 2-of-3 series against lower seeded teams.

        "body": "For the first time in 2026, the Durango High School girls golf team did not win a tournament, thanks to the impressive play of Kirtland Central and the Broncos\u2019 top golfer, Hayden Dan. Durango hosted the Durango Hillcrest Invitational on Monday at Hillcrest Golf Club. Golfers from 17 schools competed on a sunny spring day, and the Demons came up just short, finishing second to Kirtland Central. The Broncos finished first with a team score of 30-over par, combining the top three golfers\u2019 scores, and Durango was second at 36-over par. Montrose rounded out the top three at 51-over par. \u201cThe course is in great shape,\u201d Durango girls golf coach Kirk Rawles said. \u201cThe kids today stepped up and played in a timely manner, which was awesome, playing in just over four hours. That makes it easier when we had over 100 kids out there. For everybody to get done in time, everybody has to keep on pace. So far, it\u2019s been a great day.\u201d There was a lot of rain on Sunday in Durango, but the Hillcrest greens were still rolling quickly after they were cut recently. Golfers had to deal with wind and changing temperatures on Monday. Dan, a sophomore, won her second tournament of the season for Kirtland Central with a 4-over par score, winning by five shots over teammate Makayla Manus and Montezuma-Cortez senior Amita Crowley. Dan finished with two birdies, 12 pars, two bogeys and two double bogeys. It\u2019s Dan\u2019s third year on varsity, and she had everything working on Monday. The only negatives she could point to were a few missed putts. She was driving the ball accurately like she usually does, and she nearly had a hole-in-one on the short par 3 12th, which she tapped in for birdie. The top Bronco admitted she had some tournaments where she didn\u2019t play well earlier in the season, but she feels like she\u2019s played well recently. Dan is excited to play her game the rest of the season, with the postseason about three weeks away. \u201cI\u2019m confident on the course,\u201d Dan said. \u201cEighth grade year, I was just scared, but I'm more confident on the course, I'm more talkative and more open.\u201d Junior Dylan Livingston was the top Durango golfer, finishing tied-fourth at 10-over par. Livingston had birdies on the par-4 sixth and the par-4 14th hole. She also finished with six pars, eight bogeys and two double bogeys. \u201cThere were a lot of ups and downs, but with the wind conditions and how the greens were rolling today, I played a solid round,\u201d Livingston said. Livingston, a notoriously long hitter with her driver, liked how she used her driver and was happy with her putting. She wasn\u2019t satisfied with how she chipped, and that will be a focus for her practice. Before the Hillcrest Invitational, the Demons were 7-0 in tournaments this season, which is an impressive feat considering Durango lost two of its top four players from last year, Ellie White and Raimee Brant. Livingston said White and Brant are missed, but she\u2019s proud of how seniors Jayden Craig and Riley Harms have stepped up, along with how new players Kierstin Maycock and Kailen Noonan are improving each tournament. \u201cOur team spirit, effort and camaraderie this year have been so fabulous,\u201d Livingston said.\u2029\u201cEverybody is so supportive of each other, and it's just been so amazing. This is definitely going to be the year I remember, for sure.\u201d After Kirtland Central\u2019s top two finishers, senior Dallas Dan finished 13th at 17-over par. Kirtland head coach Judith Camacho thinks her team can challenge for a state title after finishing second to Albuquerque Academy last year. \u201cMy girls, they're kind of going with the flow,\u201d Camacho said \u2029\u201cIt's been a little bit difficult adjusting to each tournament and the difficulty. This game is very unpredictable sometimes and even on a good day, you can still have really terrible shots that can affect the round. This round currently shows the full potential of what my girls can do.\u201d bkelly@durangoherald.com  Choose from several print and digital subscription packages Sign up for our daily email newsletter or to receive breaking news delivered to your inbox: \u00a9 2026 Tri-City Record |         Ballantine Communications, Inc.

        "title": "Woman accused of shooting at vehicle with a child inside",
        "body": " A woman is facing felony charges, including child abuse, for allegedly firing shots at her car as it left her San Miguel County property. One bullet struck the vehicle driven by a mother who had her 8-year-old daughter with her, according to police. New Mexico State Police responded April 21 to a gas station in Romeroville just before 9 p.m. after the mother reported being shot at while she was at a nearby home. The woman told police that she\u2019d driven with her daughter to the property south of Las Vegas along US-84 to retrieve some Amazon packages from an ex-lover, according to an affidavit filed in San Miguel Magistrate Court. The woman told police the packages contained her daughter\u2019s birthday gifts and that Amazon\u2019s tracking information showed that her ex had picked up the packages from the Santa Rosa post office. She said she\u2019d tried calling him multiple times, and when he didn\u2019t answer, she located him by using a GPS tracking app that she\u2019d installed on his phone when they were together. While the woman was talking to her ex, the woman said Lucero exited a camper and shouted at her to get off her property, the affidavit stated. Lucero went back inside the camper and returned with a handgun and again told the woman to get off her property. The woman got back into her vehicle with her daughter and drove away. As she left, Lucero began shooting at her, according to the affidavit. Once at the gas station located at the intersection of Interstate 25 and US-84, the woman found a bullet hole in the \u201crear bumper near the driver side.\u201d Lucero admitted to NMSP investigators that she\u2019d fired her gun \u201cin the air\u201d five or six times but said the woman had shown up at the property \u201cirate and wanting to fight,\u201d according to the affidavit. Lucero said she\u2019d told the woman several times to leave before she fired the gun. The woman\u2019s ex-lover told police he hadn\u2019t known she was tracking his location with a phone app. He said he had in fact gotten the packages from the post office, but he told police he\u2019d taken them to the woman\u2019s home and left them there. Following an NMSP investigation, an arrest warrant for Lucero was issued days later, on April 27. Lucero faces felony charges of child abuse and shooting at a motor vehicle, along with a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. She was not in custody as of this writing.

The German-language recital was a \u201cdedication to my mother and my grandmother,\u201d Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said. \u201c(Canciones Espa\u00f1olas) is a dedication to my dad and his side of the family.\u201d Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann recalled growing up with a family where his mostly Spanish-speaking grandfather could not communicate with his German-speaking grandmother. He served as their translator, he said. \u201cGrowing up in a biracial environment was very colorful,\u201d Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said with a laugh. \u201cI embrace it.\u201d Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said the New Mexican folk song he will sing, titled \u201cPalomita Que Vienes Herida,\u201d was arranged by John Donald Robb, a former dean of music at the University of New Mexico. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, very melancholy,\u201d Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said of \u201cPalomita Que Vienes Herida.\u201d The repertoire from Spain has a flamenco influence, Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said, and the Argentinian repertoire reflects the gaucho culture of the South American country. Garc\u00eda-Nuthmann said he\u00a0 hopes the recital will introduce the audience to classical Spanish repertoire they may not have heard. \u201cI want (the audience) to be exposed to this incredibly beautiful music,\u201d he said.

        "title": "San Miguel P&Z conditionally approves sand and gravel pit",
        "body": " The San Miguel County Planning and Zoning Board heard testimony for and against a sand and gravel pit; ultimately deciding to recommend approval of the application with several conditions. Members of the Planning and Zoning Board considered the application, submitted by NorthEastern Construction Company, during a meeting April 23 at the county chambers. The role of the Planning and Zoning Board is to make recommendations to the County Commission. According to the meeting\u2019s agenda, the application was to operate a temporary sand and gravel pit. This is set to be located off of Highway 518\u00a0 near Bonita Estates, a home community not far from Storrie Lake. Planning and Zoning Director Justin Dimas said that Sean Medrano, owner of NorthEastern Construction, turned in a preliminary plan for the mining operation. It was recommended by the board that Medrano submit a final plat, a development plan and a water study to Dimas within 30 days so that his application could be forwarded to the San Miguel County Commission for a final decision. County attorney Ambrosio Castellano, who was present during the meeting, said that the water study will consider the effect on any water source. Residents of the Bonita Estates subdivision have reported that Northeastern Construction began operating a sand and gravel pit in December 2025. About a dozen residents affected by the mining operation were present during the meeting. The Bonita Estates Homeowners Association has secured Attorney Scott Aaron with the Roybal Mack & Cordova Law Firm to represent them. Aaron told the Planning and Zoning Board that county ordinance states that sand and gravel mining shall not take place within the county on lands that have not been specifically approved for such purposes. He said Bonita Estates residents have reported seeing trucks associated with the mining operation since early December, \u201ccontrary to the ordinance,.\u201d The mining activity affects the safety of the residents, Aaron said, who have had to contend with noise and commercial traffic near their homes. Northeastern Construction owner Sean Medrano, who is also a member of the Planning and Zoning Board, recused himself from that position before giving his own input on the application. He acknowledged the opposition to the sand and gravel pit. \u201cIt\u2019s heartfelt and it\u2019s hurtful to see such a strong opposition,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will stand our ground, and we will cross our Ts and dot our Is. We\u2019re not breaking any laws, we\u2019re not doing anything wrong.\u201d Medrano said he\u2019s been in business since 2009 and has about 50 employees. He said he has been \u201cstrongly involved in the community\u201d and ensured the sand and\u00a0 gravel pit will be a \u201csafe operation\u201d that will aid in the growth of the county. \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to try to expand and grow like everybody else,\u201d he said. After the meeting, Medrano expressed a desire to conform to the board\u2019s decision and turn in the additional information requested of him to move his application forward to the county commission. \u201cWe\u2019re here to cooperate, and that\u2019s it,\u201d Medrano said after the meeting. Several residents of Bonita Estates raised concerns earlier this year after it appeared that Medrano started the mining operation near their neighborhood. The project was halted on Feb. 19, a date that coincides with the conclusion of an inspection done by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, an agency that operates under the Department of Labor and that aims to enforce compliance with mine safety and health standards. According to the MSHA website, a \u201cverbal hazard complaint inspection\u201d was conducted at the site, located at 260 Lakeview Drive, on Feb. 18 and 19. The project site \u2013 referred to as Macklin Mine on the MSHA website \u2013 received three citations and one order; however, the website does not specify what these are or what they were for. Your comment has been submitted.  Reported There was a problem reporting this.  The Optic may want to check facts here: operation at the mine has never halted and in fact escalated. My husband and I also spoke at the meeting and we are not Bonita Estates HOA members. Feel free to contact me for further comment and photographic and video evidence.

        "title": "Trump Hispanic Bump Flattens; Immigration And Economy Drop His Numbers And Lift Dem Guv Chances, Plus: Readers Opine On Haaland Cash Haul, And: Guv Candidates Have Sung Different Tunes When It Comes To Debates",
        "body": "The president once boasted of New Mexico \"Hispanics love me!\" And for a time he did quite well with that critical voting block. Today? Not so much.The respectable six point Trump loss in Blue New Mexico in '24 is starting to seem like a distant memory. Polling today shows that Hispanic voters who were largely responsible for bringing Trump's numbers up here are now headed in the opposite direction.Trump\u2019s overall approval among Hispanic adults has fallen 16 percentage  points since March 2025, and his support has declined by 9 percentage  points among men. The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research  finds that many key groups \u2014 including Hispanic adults, younger adults  and men \u2014 are increasingly dissatisfied with his presidency. Hispanic Americans have grown increasingly discontented with Trump over the past year. About  one-quarter of Hispanic adults approve of how he\u2019s handling the  presidency in the new poll, down from about 4 in 10 in March 2025.\u00a0In the April Emerson College poll Trump's New Mexico approval rating\u00a0was 36.5 percent and his disapproval 55.8 percent.\u00a0Trump\u2019s restrictive immigration policies are cited as a cause for his decline among Hispanics. Only about one-quarter of them nationally approve of his  handling of immigration, down from 36% at the beginning of his term.\u00a0Younger Hispanics--a group with he made gains\u00a0with in 2024--have defected. Only 18% of them approve of his performance  on immigration, compared with 40% of Americans overall.\u00a0The sagging economy among middle and lower income families is also a problem.\u00a0Just one-quarter of Hispanic adults approve of how  Trump is handling that issue, and about 2 in 10 say they approve of his  approach to the cost of living. Few Hispanic adults, about 2 in 10,  describe the nation\u2019s economy as \u201cgood.\u201d\u00a0What this means for our election is clear. An unpopular president would be a drag on the Republicans from the top of the ticket down to the state legislative races.\u00a0\u00a0That's another reason the Democratic gubernatorial primary is so critical. The primary winner's odds of prevailing in the November are much higher with an unpopular Trump at the helm.As for the GOP Guv nominee, they'll have to somehow balance their party affiliation with an out of favor president. If that's too difficult, they can hope for a minor miracle that sees the president's approval rating improve over the summer.READERS ON HAALANDOur report and analysis of the massive cash haul by Dem Guv candidate Deb Haaland--over $11 million so far--brought reaction from her supporters. Larry McDaniel of Silver City writes:\u00a0Joe, I have to take issue with what appears to be a broad stroke assertion that progressive Democrats are somehow anti-Business or anti-development. As far as I'm concerned that\u2019s an oversimplification and generally not true. The issue is whether the business entity or development project is a sustainable endeavor. Data centers, with their deleterious impact on power and water usage, and their impact on local utilities and consumer pricing are a great example of where we part ways with the development at all costs crowd. The efforts by the oil and gas industry to delay the implementation of renewable energy transition is another example. On the other hand, infill development that increases affordable housing and sustainable efforts to diversify the economy in rural areas where I live, are well supported by progressives. When Deb Haaland is Governor we\u2019ll invest in sustainable economic development across New Mexico. A rising tide does lift all boats.\u00a0Reader Mike Connealy writes:\u00a0The best way to understand Deb Haaland's appeal is to listen to her speak as we did at a recent campaign appearance in Albuquerque.  She speaks energetically with intelligence and compassion.  She radiates the competence and moral clarity which is so lacking in what comes out of Washington these days.  Her life story of overcoming  challenges to get where she is today is one which people can relate to, and what makes her a perfect fit for the job of governing New Mexico.      ABOUT THOSE DEBATESSam Bregman is relentless in his insistence that Deb Haaland debate him. She has resisted. Bregman wasn't always so intent on debating. When he ran for Bernalillo County District Attorney in 2024, our May 21 entry\u00a0included\u00a0this:A MUM SAM In Primary '24 the Bernalillo County Dem race for  District Attorney continues to top the bill. The latest is an ironic  complaint from contender Damon Martinez that his usually loquacious  opponent, appointed Dem DA Sam Bregman, doesn't want to talk:Bregman ducked opportunities to debate me  so that voters can decide for themselves who will best represent them in  the District Attorney\u2019s office.   What is my opponent afraid of? Is he afraid to defend his record? Is he  afraid to talk to voters about his plan to address the issues we face in  Bernalillo County? Is he afraid to face the very people he wants to  represent as District Attorney. The fact that we have to ask these  questions is all the answer we need.   For me, this is a question of accountability. Bernalillo County deserves  an experienced prosecutor who will be accountable to the community.   I\u2019m the experienced, accountable public servant our community deserves.\u00a0When Sam stops talking you know it's a quiet campaign.In 2026 the worm has turned. Bregman is the one facing a reluctant debating partner. There is a May event featuring Bregman and Haaland that will have elements of a debate but she has refused to debate Bregman in any live televised debates offered by the ABQ commercial TV stations or other forums.But Haaland wasn't always camera shy. In 2018 when she sought the Dem nomination for the ABQ congressional seat against five opponents she took part in TV debates as well as a general election debate. Video of that is here.When it comes to La Politica and debating, candidates shift directions as often as our spring winds.\u00a0\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico Gabe Vasquez votes against DHS funding, attacks ICE as race tightens",
        "body": "U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez is once again facing scrutiny after joining other New Mexico Democrat congressional representatives, Teresa Leger Fernandez (CD-3) and Melanie Stansbury (CD-1), and voting against advancing funding for the Department of Homeland Security while simultaneously launching another rhetorical broadside against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a move likely to further inflame concerns among moderates in his increasingly competitive southern New Mexico district. Vasquez joined House Democrats this week in opposing a Republican-backed budget framework designed to unlock funding for border enforcement and immigration operations through the reconciliation process. According to Fox News, the House approved the measure 215\u2013211, with every Democrat present voting against it while Republicans unanimously supported it. The vote comes as the Department of Homeland Security has been operating under a funding lapse for more than 70 days, with the White House warning that DHS personnel could soon go unpaid if funding is not restored. According to Fox News, the administration has warned that absent congressional action, personnel including Secret Service agents, Coast Guard members, and other DHS employees could miss paychecks beginning in May. Vasquez in early April visited the Albuquerque Sunport to claim to support TSA agents, despite repeatedly voting against funding them via DHS. But rather than support the funding measure, Vasquez issued a press release celebrating his opposition and attacking ICE directly. \u201cICE doesn\u2019t need another blank check to bankroll more violence, mass detention, and assaults on American citizens,\u201d Vasquez said. He further blasted the proposal as a \u201cslush fund\u201d and accused immigration enforcement authorities of engaging in \u201cracial profiling of Hispanic people and communities.\u201d The comments are likely to provide fresh ammunition to Republicans already targeting Vasquez as out of step with his district on immigration and public safety. Earlier this month, Vasquez fled New Mexico for El Paso to attempt to close down the Texas-based ICE facility, Camp East Montana, claiming it is dangerous and unsafe, despite so many facts to the contrary. National Republicans quickly seized on the vote, arguing it further demonstrates Vasquez\u2019s hostility toward immigration enforcement and law enforcement generally. The latest vote adds to a growing record of anti-ICE positioning by the Democrat congressman. Vasquez previously called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem\u2019s impeachment and has repeatedly pushed legislation demanding tighter restrictions and oversight on ICE detention and removal operations. His stance comes at a time when immigration remains one of the top concerns for voters nationally and in New Mexico\u2019s 2nd Congressional District, a border-heavy battleground seat Republicans are aggressively targeting in 2026. The timing may also prove politically awkward for Vasquez given the broader national climate surrounding Democrats and immigration enforcement. His vote comes amid mounting criticism of Democrat politicians increasingly adopting anti-ICE rhetoric, including some on the left openly calling for the agency\u2019s abolition. That broader trend has become a political flashpoint as Republicans seek to tie vulnerable Democrats to what they portray as radical immigration positions. Republicans are already framing NM-02 as one of their top pickup opportunities in the country, with GOP challenger Greg Cunningham receiving backing from President Donald Trump, House GOP leadership, and the National Republican Congressional Committee, as the Pi\u00f1on Post previously reported on. With the race expected to be one of the most competitive in the nation, Vasquez\u2019s continued opposition to border enforcement funding and his repeated attacks on ICE may further complicate his efforts to hold onto a district that Trump carried in 2024. For Republicans, the message is straightforward: Gabe Vasquez is once again siding against immigration enforcement and DHS funding while border security remains a top concern for voters. Whether that message resonates with swing voters in southern New Mexico may help determine who wins one of the most hotly contested congressional races of 2026. Gabe Vasquez\u2019s attack on DHS funding is suicidal in conservative CD-2. Without such funding, the Secretary Service, the Coast Guard, TSA and other DHS entities may go without pay starting in May. This after the Secretary Service recently protected President  Trump, his wife, and Cabinet members from a gunman at the White House Correspondents dinner. Keep your attacks coming , Gabe! Typo in above comment.  Meant Secret Service. Meanwhile, as Vasquez rants, the wall continues to be built across southern New Mexico. He needs to go. New Mexicans are not his priority. The paycheck is his priority. Protecting  illegal aliens is Vasquez\u2019s authority. If you\u2019re here illegally, you didn\u2019t follow the rule of law. There is a clear. choice in the CD-2 Congressional race: Greg Cunningham, who supports and defends DHS, and Gabe Vasquez, who doesn\u2019t. He is Anti-American . He  wants foreign criminals in our Nation to create chaos . He does not care on how many Americans have been Murdered, Raped and Robbed by these invaders . Typical bullshit anything Trump or the American people want\u2026\u2026\u2026they fight. Time to take our the trash and think for New Mexico Give Gabe enough rope and he will hang himself with his rhetoric. His diatribe is getting old and is no longer salvageable. Greg rescue your district from this demonic creature who sole purpose in life is not to protect the illegals but to build his legacy on their illegal entry into our country . The rule of law is a common denominator for all of us including those who are here illegally. Gabe Vasquez sides with criminals. He was in trouble with the law from a young age. Melanie Stansbury is in my area of Rio Rancho, she is not voting for what her constituents want or need. I am urging everyone to vote Republican and send the message that we want law and order in NM. Thank you CTT for your comment that reflects the reality of the current elected legislature who have their own agenda.  NM is a victim of continued corruption by state and elected representatives who ignore the will of their constituents who believe in the Rule of Law and the CONSTITUTION.  Disgusting behavior to aid and abet criminals and throw the very people who pay their salaries under the bus.  It\u2019s time for a real change, hopefully we can make it happen. What an idiot! Deport him if we are able to! Vasquez, Stansbury, both need to go, who in their right mind supports illegal aliens over the American people, who, by the way pay for their salaries!! wake up New Mexico Voters before it\u2019s too late!

        "title": " Post photo art: Charlotte Knight,Unsplash/@cferdophotography,Unsplash/NMDOJ/USDOJ New Mexico Young men were allegedly gang raped at Epstein\u2019s Zorro Ranch: report",
        "body": "Shocking new allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s New Mexico ranch are surfacing, with a horrific bombshell report from The Sun detailing claims that men were drugged and gang raped at Epstein\u2019s secluded Zorro Ranch in what could mark one of the most disturbing revelations yet connected to the disgraced sex trafficker\u2019s empire. According to a report by The Sun, the allegations were aired in a recent Australian 60 Minutes documentary examining alleged abuse and possible cover-ups tied to Epstein\u2019s 7,500-acre Zorro Ranch near Stanley, New Mexico. Among the most explosive claims is testimony from an alleged witness who reportedly said he was brought to the ranch, drugged, and forced to witness horrific abuse involving multiple young men. According to The Sun, the alleged victim described being drugged and witnessing \u201cmultiple young men\u201d being raped at the ranch after he was incapacitated. The allegation marks one of the first widely publicized claims suggesting Epstein\u2019s alleged abuse network may have targeted male victims at the ranch in addition to women and girls. The documentary, as cited by The Sun, states the alleged conduct adds to growing evidence that Epstein and his associates may have operated a far broader abuse network than previously understood. The allegations add a grim new dimension to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Zorro Ranch, which has long been viewed as one of the least-investigated of Epstein\u2019s major properties despite repeated claims from survivors that abuse occurred there. Survivor Chauntae Davies, who was trafficked by Epstein to multiple properties, described Zorro Ranch as the most terrifying place she encountered in Epstein\u2019s network. \u201cThe scariest was Zorro Ranch,\u201d Davies said in the documentary, according to The Sun. \u201cIt\u2019s in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by mountains and miles and miles of dirt.\u201d Davies said the isolated nature of the ranch made it especially frightening. \u201cThere was a lot of time being in my room like a mouse in a trap waiting for a knock on the door,\u201d she said. When asked what happened when summoned by Epstein, Davies responded, according to The Sun: \u201cRape, full on, forced on sexual rape.\u201d The new claims come amid renewed efforts by New Mexico officials to investigate what may have occurred at the ranch, including separate allegations that women may have been killed and buried on the property. According to The Sun, authorities have reportedly conducted physical searches and imaging of the sprawling ranch as part of that ongoing investigation. The allegations are also raising renewed questions about why the property was not more aggressively searched years ago while Epstein was still alive. Democrat former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas told The Sun that he still cannot understand why New Mexico was effectively left out of earlier major Epstein investigations. \u201cFor the life of me, I can\u2019t understand why you would leave New Mexico out,\u201d Balderas said. While the allegations remain unproven and no criminal charges have yet emerged from the latest claims, the report is likely to intensify scrutiny on what may have occurred at Epstein\u2019s remote New Mexico compound. If substantiated, the allegations would suggest that the horrors at Zorro Ranch were even more depraved and wide-ranging than previously known. Finally! A glimmer of light shining on a very dark place. So , why didn\u2019t  Balderas initiate his own investigation.? Why wait to be included? Exactly! Why did all these people who now say they were bothered that nothing was done never bother to say something? Makes one wonder if there was hush money or just political hush hush. Pilgrim, if the story wasn\u2019t so Satanic it might be laughable! What, exactly, is the difference between the ROOTS of this story and the one centered in LaGrange, Texas. For cryin\u2019 out loud, they made a Broadway Play out of that\u2026 ZZ Top knew: \u201c\u2026Just let me know, if ya\u2019 wanna go, to that home out on the range. They got a lotta nice girls out there.\u201d This story from the Luna Mansion east to Santa Rosa is more than 100 years old. It got nastier every year\u2026 Don\u2019t kid yourselves. Every person (women included) and every politician who grew up in the ranch and farming business within 100 miles of Moriarty knew\u2026 or at very least, heard rumors about it, \u2026long before Epstein showed up and met met \u2018Guv\u2019ner Bruce.\u2019 Maybe somebody ought to answer this question \u2014 Why did Don Imus leave New Mexico? And, when I say \u201ceveryone knew\u201d I mean from Bruce King, to Bill Richardson, to the current communist regime in the Round House \u2014 every dang one of them knew about it, and did nothing.! Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. I hope every last one goes to jail for life! \u2026for what they did to those youngsters. So, Hector Balderas , former NM AG from 2015-2023, wonders WHY Zorro Ranch was not investigated thoroughly?  REALLY?! When all  broke loose after Epstein \u2018killed himself\u2019 in 2019, Hector should\u2019ve been on the phone with the FBI about  a Zorro Ranch investigation. Hector\u2019s NM Democrat Party is all over this scandal! Former NM Dem. Gov. Bruce King & family sold the ranch to Epstein.  Former NM Dem Gov.,\u2019King\u2019 Bill Richardson was a friend of Epstein\u2019s and Bill /Hilary Clinton\u2019s. Bill Clinton visited the Ranch multiple times. Gary King (Bruce King\u2019s son) was NM AG from 2007-2015. As I recall , Zorro Ranch was put up for sale by associates of MLG\u2019s  rather quietly during the Covid scam and left a lot of us thinking it should be taped off as a crime scene  but  instead, they were actively selling it!  AG Balderas should\u2019ve known all about this! Just another sick Democrat cover up and Hector knows it, but will play dumb now so as not to implicate his Dem party cronies! Please give us a break\u2026 Well said! It\u2019s time for all this sick satanic evilness to come crashing down and the democrats will start to scatter once that string of truth is pulled! God saw it all! Time for righteous justice! And one more thing\u2026 EVERY New Mexico  State Police trooper KNEW about it, as well. Every one of them who wore a badge beginning in the 1030\u2019s. All of them knew. (revised) And one more thing\u2026 EVERY New Mexico State Police trooper KNEW about it, as well. Every one of them who wore a badge beginning in the 1930\u2019s. All of them knew. I can\u2019t believe that Hector balderas is actually said this Democrat former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas told The Sun that he still cannot understand why New Mexico was effectively left out of earlier major Epstein investigations. Dude you have been the AG for a long time. Where have you been? Oh wait you were also not Prosecuting UNM for selling baby parts and you also didn\u2019t prosecute them for providing two fetal brains for UNM High School summer workshop. This lands on you nobody else! The audacity the freaking audacity and malfeasance and incompetence that this AG has used to cover up the most heinous crimes in this country and most likely the world. And then he\u2019s like oh my gosh I didn\u2019t believe that this was going on why didn\u2019t they get an investigated because it was your job! We need to find out what money is he\u2019s received what contacts what kickbacks he was given to shut up and shut down this investigation. All of them! MLG MTO Andrea Romero the land commissioner. Why has this been shoved under the rug until the land starts vomiting this crap out of the ground! Investigate them all. Get Nick Shirley over here! Let\u2019s get someone who can actually do investigative reporting. And then send these guys to alligator Alcatraz without the Alcatraz! Unbelievable malfeasance. New Mexico Learing Centers hard at work. Where the criminals Go free and victims never get Justice! My gosh people stop voting for these Democrats! They\u2019re all in cahoots. God have mercy on this land we\u2019re going to need to have a Statewide Church Gathering to cleanse this place from the blood that has been spilled. God have mercy on us! Amen Marcy!

        "title": "  New Mexico Journal poll exposes Democrat enthusiasm problem in key NM races",
        "body": "A new poll from the Albuquerque Journal suggests New Mexico Democrats may be facing a growing enthusiasm problem in several key statewide primary contests, with massive numbers of voters still undecided and some far-left legislative candidates struggling to gain traction despite years in office. According to the Journal poll, outgoing Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver holds a commanding lead in the Democrat primary for lieutenant governor, pulling 54% support compared to just 10% for state Sen. Harold Pope Jr.. Roughly 36% of voters remain undecided. The poll was conducted by Research & Polling Inc. for the Albuquerque Journal from April 17\u201324 among likely Democrat primary voters. The lopsided margin suggests Pope, despite years in the Legislature and heavy promotion from progressive circles, has failed to connect with rank-and-file Democrat voters statewide. Journal pollster Brian Sanderoff told the paper that Toulouse Oliver\u2019s statewide name recognition is likely fueling her advantage, noting that \u201cname recognition plays an important role in these lower-profile races.\u201d That dynamic appears to be hurting several other Democrat hopefuls as well. In the Democrat primary for commissioner of public lands, longtime far-left state Rep. Matthew McQueen is badly underperforming, tied for second place at just 11% despite having served six terms in the Legislature and tyrannically chairing one of the House\u2019s most influential committees. McQueen trails former Democrat Party insider Juan Sanchez, who leads the race with 20%, while another 58% of voters remain undecided. For a veteran legislator who has spent years championing left-wing environmental and regulatory policies at the Roundhouse, the showing is a striking sign that McQueen\u2019s far-left record may not be resonating outside the Santa Fe political bubble. Meanwhile, the Democrat primary for secretary of state is even more unsettled, with fully two-thirds of voters undecided between Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine Clark and Do\u00f1a Ana County Clerk Amanda L\u00f3pez Askin, according to the Journal poll. Taken together, the results paint a picture of a Democrat electorate that appears disengaged and unenthused in several major down-ballot races despite the party\u2019s statewide dominance. While establishment figures like Toulouse Oliver are benefiting from name recognition and incumbency-adjacent status, lesser-known progressive lawmakers and insiders appear to be struggling to motivate voters. The poll also suggests that many Democrat voters may know little about the candidates seeking to fill critical statewide offices, including positions overseeing elections and public lands. That lack of enthusiasm could create openings for Republicans in races Democrats typically expect to win comfortably, especially if GOP nominees can capitalize on voter fatigue with one-party Democratic rule in Santa Fe. Toulouse Oliver\u2019s lead also comes as she remains embroiled in a high-profile legal fight with President Donald Trump\u2019s administration over access to voter registration records, a battle she has prominently used in campaign messaging. Still, beyond the lieutenant governor race, the Journal poll indicates many Democrat primary voters remain uncommitted and perhaps unconvinced by the field of candidates their party has put forward. With early voting beginning on May 5, several Democrat hopefuls now face a difficult reality: despite years in office and establishment backing, many New Mexicans in their own party still do not appear particularly excited to vote for them. All of the democrats listed in the above article are failures.   we dont need any of them to keep in office.   they are the reason NM is in last place in everything.   wont people ever learn in this state ?  repubs \u2013 are you going to get out and vote or let your state continue to rot ? Absolutely well said!!!!! Why don\u2019t Republicans have candidates for state auditor and state treasurer and wait until last minute to get someone? Same for the US Senate race and for AG. There has to be a more coordinated effort to vet candidates that can win these races. Give the conservative base, which is the majority in this state, someone to vote for. Joshua J Lawrence is running for state auditor Unfortunately, Joshua Lawrence has no formal financial or accounting experience. Auditor is NOT a position you can step into with just political ambition and a career in law enforcement. That\u2019s the democrat way, and the BIGGEST mistake New Mexicans continue to buy into. Lawrence doesn\u2019t even understand the interfacing legislation between DFA, the Governor\u2019s Office, and OSA. If you can\u2019t read financial statements and statements of findings, how can you spot and weed out very well hidden incidents of malfeasance? RPNM has concerning leadership. My family and I have been discussing exactly as you noted over the past few weeks. I find it strange that many New Mexicans are greatly unaware that there are even Republicans running in the gubernatorial race. Besides sending canned letters, what exactly is RPNM doing? The democrat people in New Mexico are like sheep being sent to the slaughter Amen, Unfortunately their taking everyone else with them\u2026.. Your email address will not be published.

        "body": "Dr. Carol Linder  Dr. Carol Linder Luna Community College announces that the LCC Board of Trustees voted during a Special Meeting on April 2, 2026, to extend Dr. Carol Linder\u2019s contract through April 25, 2027. Dr. Linder was first appointed as Interim President in June 2024 and was officially named President on Jan. 14, 2025. President\u00a0 Linder was raised in Espa\u00f1ola, New Mexico. She has received degrees from the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas at Austin, and an MBA from New Mexico Highlands University. She has worked in higher education since 2004 and joined Luna in October 2021. Her multidisciplinary background supports a leadership style grounded in both academic excellence and operational strategy. The Board\u2019s decision to extend her contract follows a Board review process that included a formal presentation delivered by President Linder during a Special Meeting on March 17, 2026. During the presentation, President Linder outlined accomplishments, key initiatives, and ongoing progress made during her tenure. Successes include Luna\u2019s removal of monitoring status, announced last month, following the Higher Learning Commission Focused Visit in November 2025. The action affirms that the college, while in good standing, has addressed prior concerns related to assessment, planning, and financial oversight. President Linder addressed the college\u2019s ongoing work to resolve audit delays that existed prior to her appointment. Under her leadership, Luna has completed two prior-year audits and is advancing ongoing audit reviews to get the institution in full compliance. She emphasized the work that went into strengthening financial processes, increased accountability measures, and a commitment to timely audit completion as part of restoring institutional stability and public trust. Linder also provided a progress update on her administration\u2019s on-campus student housing initiative. Following an application and a formal hearing with the New Mexico State Board of Finance, Luna received approval for an Emergency Operating Fund request in the amount of $2,787,914 in January 2026. She also enthusiastically shared work done and successes in the continued expansion of workforce and career and technical education programs aligned with regional needs. Los Alamos National Laboratory has supported Luna\u2019s welding program through its Plutonium Workforce Development Initiative, funding training and hiring Luna graduates who have earned American Welding Society certifications. The Wildfire Resiliency Training Program (WRTC), established with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Economic Development Administration, partners with the New Mexico Forestry Division, New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute, and the Forest Stewards Guild. The program is now certified to deliver all National Wildfire Coordinating Group courses and curricula. As a member of the Collaborative for Higher Education Shared Services, Luna is implementing a new Workday Student Information System, with initial milestones beginning in 2026 and full implementation scheduled for September 2027. The purpose of being a part of this initiative is to enhance student services and the administration of financial aid, and to streamline processes in other administrative areas. Additional updates highlighted focused investments to fill critical leadership and staff positions, expanded partnerships with local school districts, state agencies, and industry leaders, as well as increased engagement in legislative and policy initiatives supporting higher education funding. These efforts are reinforced by targeted partnerships that are producing measurable workforce outcomes. Other student success highlights presented include: \u25cf Enrollment growth of 3% in Fall 2025 and 8% in Spring 2026 over the prior year; \u25cfA 45% increase in award completion over the past five years; and \u25cf Expansion of dual credit partnerships, reaching over 250 high school students annually. \u201cI appreciate the support of Chair Dr. Martinez and the entire governing board. Luna is deeply important to me\u2014not just as an institution, but as part of the community that helped shape who I am,\u201d said President Linder. \u201cOver the past 20 months, we have made meaningful progress, and I am proud of the work happening across our campus every day. Our focus remains on our students and the communities we serve. There is still more to do, and I remain committed to building a strong and sustainable future for Luna.\u201d Luna remains dedicated to transparency and community engagement.

        "title": "How New Mexico is \u2018building a forest\u2019 by solving a seedling shortage",
        "body": "New Mexico State University technicians monitor seedlings after planting.  New Mexico State University technicians monitor seedlings after planting. This story was originally published by High Country News. Recovery from the Hermit\u2019s Peak-Calf Canyon Fire has been daunting. Residents are still waiting for disaster relief payments even as floods sweep through the ashy burn scar, contaminating the drinking water downstream. And then there\u2019s the forest itself: in desperate need of new trees but lacking the necessary seedlings. Wildfires have burned 7 million acres across New Mexico since 2000, and millions of seedlings are needed to replant the burned areas. The Hermit\u2019s Peak-Calf Canyon Fire alone, the largest in state history, needs 17.6 million seedlings. Trees play an integral role in restabilizing burned hillsides and protecting the drinking water sources below them. But current reforestation facilities lack the capacity to keep up with demand, creating a dire shortage. Experts estimate it would take 50 years to replant the Hermit\u2019s Peak-Calf Canyon burn scar at current rates. That\u2019s where the New Mexico Reforestation Center comes in. Conceived in 2022 as a collaboration between the state Forestry Division, University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University and New Mexico Highlands University, the center is now about to break ground on an \u201cabsolutely massive\u201d greenhouse facility that expands existing infrastructure in the northwestern part of the state, Director Jennifer Auchter told High Country News. The greenhouses, which will eventually total 155,000 square feet in size, are an essential part of the seed-to-seedling-to-tree post-fire reforestation pipeline, which involves processing over 1,500 pounds of native seed for future planting while researching ways to help seedlings survive an even hotter and drier future. (The enterprise has a uniquely New Mexican flavor: Auchter said that a repurposed chili roaster is used to extract seeds from cones and pods at the existing seed-processing facility.) High Country News caught up with Auchter in mid-April as she prepared for the greenhouse groundbreaking to talk about how the center will more than triple the state\u2019s current seedling production capacity and why a \u201cright tree, right place\u201d approach is important for the success of modern reforestation. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. High Country News: Why is re-planting a forest after a wildfire so important? Jennifer Auchter: This is my favorite part of the whole story. My background is in earth science, watershed management, fluvial systems and that sort of thing. So I think about this from a \u201cforest being water infrastructure\u201d perspective, particularly in New Mexico and the Southwest. Here, it\u2019s the snowpack in the winter that feeds our rivers and streams. People have tried to quantify this a bunch of different ways, but it\u2019s something like 70% of all the water we use is coming from a forest, whether it\u2019s the snowpack or the precipitation that streams capture. The likelihood of a forest actually regenerating (after a high-severity wildfire) is not very likely in our lifetimes. It could be decades to even centuries. For us, because of our water infrastructure here, we really need to conserve forests even just to have a water source. What are New Mexico\u2019s current reforestation needs, given several large wildfires in recent years? The state\u2019s current burn scars need 385 million trees, and that doesn\u2019t include future wildfires. That\u2019s just the existing backlog. How many seedlings can current operations in New Mexico grow right now? Tell us about the gap the New Mexico Reforestation Center is seeking to fill. We say 300,000, but we don\u2019t even usually hit that mark. It\u2019s usually more like 250,000 seedlings per year, and those are grown at the John T. Harrington Forestry Research Center, which is a pretty small and pretty old nursery. Most of our tree seedlings are purchased from growers in Idaho. That\u2019s not terrible, but they\u2019re not exactly from the right climate, they\u2019re not exactly from the right elevation, and then when they travel over land, they don\u2019t do as well in planting. They\u2019re kind of shocked when they get here. What kind of research has been going on to help set the New Mexico Reforestation Center and its replanting efforts up for success? What the University of New Mexico is responsible for is doing a lot of the research on modeling: predicting seedling survival based on the site and based on the projected climate. So, when we\u2019re selecting sites and planting out trees, we\u2019re actually doing this for the 2100 climate, not for today\u2019s climate. We want to make sure that these trees are surviving long-term. Then, once they plant it out, they will also do monitoring with drones, and on-the-ground monitoring as well. How else are researchers trying to ensure seedlings can survive in hotter, drier conditions? New Mexico State University researchers are doing drought conditioning, so putting the seedlings under a lower amount of irrigation. They\u2019re drought-stressing ponderosa pine and some of the other species as seedlings, so that when they plant them out, they are ready for that dry environment. There\u2019s another thing that they\u2019re doing specifically for aspen seedling survival in a post-fire environment: planting the seedling next to a log, for example, and trying to give it just a bit of shade while it\u2019s in those early establishing months and years. They\u2019re seeing higher survival for the seedlings that are planted in the shade areas. There\u2019s a lot of research going on to try to optimize this, bigger-scale. Once we jump from 300,000 seedlings to 5 million seedlings, ideally, by that time, we will have sorted out the very best methods that are the most successful across the whole reforestation pipeline, from seeds to seedling to planting.  Did you look to any other states for reforestation inspiration? What did you learn? The Pacific Northwest is really great at reforesting. At least in the early days, I think there was an idea that we would model reforestation in the Southwest after reforestation in the Pacific Northwest. But we really just need to have our own regionally tailored methods, regionally appropriate stock \u2014 the genetics of the seedling \u2014 all of that is really important. How will the new forestry center benefit the broader region? We do anticipate that, particularly in other areas of the Four Corners states, our seedlings will be appropriate. For example, northern Arizona, Flagstaff \u2014 that\u2019s a similar elevation, similar species. That could be said for some areas of Colorado as well. So, I think we probably will focus on New Mexico first, but we do expect to actually be able to provide more seedlings longer term, once we start reforesting our own burn scars. There\u2019s not an official sort of hub or resource collaboration for the Southwest. There are a lot of groups working here \u2014 NGOs, government agencies, universities \u2014 there\u2019s a lot of people doing a lot of different things, but they\u2019re generally pretty disjointed. We envision the NMRC bringing those people together. What\u2019s an important part of the reforestation process that\u2019s sometimes overlooked? I think it\u2019s important to highlight the whole reforestation pipeline. The seed collection work that New Mexico Highlands University does is sort of this hidden part of it, right? The greenhouses and the seedlings are flashy, and it\u2019s easy to take pictures and cover that, but the seed collection work is tedious, time-consuming and requires a massive labor development approach. It\u2019s rugged, it\u2019s hard. What do you wish more people knew about reforestation? I\u2019ve heard a couple of different times, \u201cWow, that\u2019s an expensive greenhouse.\u201d It\u2019s really not just a greenhouse. There\u2019s so much more that goes into building a forest. It\u2019s quite a daunting action, bringing that to the forefront in any way we can, raising awareness of how many bodies have touched the seed or the seedling or planted it out from the time that seed is collected to when it\u2019s actually growing. What kind of long-lasting impact can reforestation have on a community post-fire, and how are you going about that in New Mexico? I\u2019ll use one example that we just finished last week. We had 48 students across grades from a charter school near Mora come to the seed collection facility, and we had the kids, who lived through wildfire, create a piece of art that was something special to them. During this whole workshop, while they were creating this art, we had some of our forestry experts talk about just the process of reforestation and what all goes into it. The point of it is really to get kids engaged locally at a younger age, so that as they go through school next year, those same kids will come back and get to see maybe some of the seeds they worked with are now in pots as seedlings, and maybe in three years, they get to go see that tree planted out in the forest. Keeping them engaged along the whole timeline of reforestation, to sort of imprint upon them how important conservation is. Because once it\u2019s gone, it takes a long time to bring it back.

        "title": "The Least Trumpy Of The GOP Guv Candidates Is Benefiting The Most From White House Allies; Turner Nabbed Mar-a-Lago Invite And Follows Up With Trumper Yvette Herrell Touting Him ",
        "body": "The least Trumpy of the three GOP governor candidates is not shy about cozying up to the president and his pals as the campaign enters its final frantic weeks and still with no clear front-runner.ABQ businessman Doug Turner, a longtime moderate, raised Republican eyebrows with his response when he was asked if he was a MAGA Republican. He replied that he is more of \"an independent.\"\u00a0But it is Turner and not his rivals Gregg Hull or Duke Rodriguez who will benefit from a fund-raiser at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club next week. And now Turner's tepid reaction to Trumpism is being rewarded again with an endorsement from a prominent New Mexican who works in the Trump administration, former US Rep. Yvette Herrell.\u00a0Herrell, who was ousted from her congressional seat in 2020 by Dem Gabe Vasquez\u00a0after serving one term and who now labors as\u00a0an assistant secretary for congressional relations in the U.S. Department of Agriculture appointed\u00a0by the president, came with this:I'm  proud to fully endorse Doug Turner in the Republican primary for New  Mexico Governor! I know that Doug is the candidate we can trust to stand  up for our conservative values and shake things up in Santa Fe. He has  the plan, experience, and backbone needed to stop the radical  progressive agenda that\u2019s holding our state back - and turn New Mexico  around. I encourage New Mexico Republicans to join me in backing Doug  Turner for Governor all the way!\"\u00a0Herrell is close to Trump. How close? She voted against certifying the 2020 election that he lost and doubled down by voting against\u00a0an independent commission to investigate the deadly January 6 capital insurrection.\u00a0Herrell is also close to the state's oil boys. So are many others working to get the Trump crowd\u00a0 on board with Turner even if he may not be a grassroots favorite.\u00a0Trump has made no official endorsement in the GOP primary.\u00a0MONEY WARSHull and RodriguezCan Turner fund-raise off that Herrell endorsement and also turn his Mar-a-Lago invite into a festival of dollars? He has raised\u00a0half a million so far and consultants say he will need at least that much and perhaps more to finish off the campaign.\u00a0The prospect of him doing so appears to have caught the eye of fellow businessman Duke Rodriguez who has pledged to spend upwards of $2 million of personal money on the primary. But Rodriguez has hedged on putting up the entire amount at once. He reported donating $1 million in the early going but now as the money wars escalate, he tells us he is dipping into that second million:\u00a0In my last report, we were already near $350,000 spent. Since then, we\u2019ve added roughly $150,000 in radio, $165,000 in billboards, and $400,000 in television\u2014pushing well past the $1 million mark. And that still doesn\u2019t include direct mail, additional print, targeted billboards in key markets, digital marketing, or streaming ads that are already underway or about to launch. We\u2019ve already deployed more than my two opponents are likely to raise\u2014combined\u2014whether measured by what they\u2019ve spent or what they have on hand.\u00a0With record-high undecided voters and a wide-open race, even average turnout creates a perfect storm. They\u2019ll run out of money before they ever break through. Make no mistake: we are fully committed, we are in deep.Veteran observers, including this one, can't recall a later starting GOP Guv campaign. None of the candidates has begun their major media although that could happen any day now.\u00a0With three mostly unknown hopefuls, campaign experts like Democrat Terry Brunner believe the race could be decided by the quality and quantity of the TV ads that the GOP trio produces:I actually think it could come down to who puts up the most ads in the final month.\u00a0That's all the more reason the fund-raising of Turner and Hull is so crucial and why there will be continued pressure on Rodriguez to spend even more than the $2 million he is already in for.\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico MLG melts down after GOP candidate scores courtroom win",
        "body": "Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is lashing out after Republican gubernatorial candidate Duke Rodriguez scored an early courtroom victory against her administration\u2019s socialist \u201cuniversal child care\u201d program, with a state judge ordering the governor\u2019s administration to cease enforcement of several regulations tied to the program unless it can justify them in court. The sharp rebuke came after Second Judicial District Judge Elaine Lujan issued an Alternative Writ of Mandamus ordering the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department to \u201cimmediately cease from any further enforcement\u201d of multiple child care rules challenged in Rodriguez\u2019s lawsuit, or otherwise appear in court and show cause why the state should not be compelled to comply. Rodriguez had sued the administration arguing that Lujan Grisham unlawfully created the \u201cuniversal child care\u201d program without proper legislative authorization, without an appropriation to cover its costs, and without following lawful rulemaking procedures. The court\u2019s writ states that the challenged rules were allegedly enacted \u201cwithout legislative authorization and without the necessary appropriation to cover the new financial obligations on the State budget imposed by the child care assistance benefit they created by rule.\u201d Rather than quietly address the ruling, Lujan Grisham erupted in a blistering public statement attacking Rodriguez personally and dismissing his candidacy. LOL pic.twitter.com/ak2rtKIwUP \u201cA third-tier Republican candidate for governor \u2014 who lives in Arizona \u2014 is using a frivolous lawsuit in a despicable attempt to mislead New Mexico families and generate headlines for a campaign that is going nowhere,\u201d the governor said. She insisted the child care program \u201cis NOT being shut down\u201d and claimed Rodriguez was \u201cpurposely sowing confusion and mistrust.\u201d But the governor\u2019s response notably came after a district judge declined to dismiss the case outright and instead issued a writ directing her administration to halt enforcement of the challenged rules unless it can successfully defend them. Rodriguez hailed the ruling as proof his lawsuit exposed serious legal flaws in the governor\u2019s program. \u201cToday\u2019s order represents a victory for the New Mexico Constitution, for government transparency, and for the people of New Mexico,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThe Governor can now choose whether to comply or defy the District Court.\u201d Rodriguez\u2019s attorney, former Democrat state senator Jacob Candelaria, also mocked the administration\u2019s prior confidence that the case would be thrown out. \u201cGovernor Lujan Grisham\u2019s legal prognosticators predicted the Court would dismiss this suit outright,\u201d Candelaria said. \u201cHowever, the Court did not simply hand the Governor the result she wanted.\u201d The dispute centers on Lujan Grisham\u2019s much-publicized September 2025 announcement declaring New Mexico the first state in the nation to offer universal child care. Rodriguez and his co-petitioners argue the governor attempted to create that sweeping entitlement program through executive and administrative action rather than through a properly enacted statute. The judge\u2019s writ does not permanently strike down the program at this stage. Instead, it gives the administration the option to answer the petition and defend the rules in court, with a hearing scheduled for June 11, 2026. Still, the ruling is a significant embarrassment for the governor, particularly given the unusually aggressive nature of her response. Rodriguez seized on that reaction, arguing it shows the administration is panicking. \u201cI do understand how New Mexico state government works,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThe Governor can now do the right thing and start over, or she can continue to create chaos for families.\u201d The legal fight now threatens to become a flashpoint in the 2026 gubernatorial race, with Rodriguez positioning the case as evidence that Lujan Grisham and her allies have repeatedly overstepped legal boundaries in pursuit of progressive policy goals. For now, one thing is clear: what the governor touted as a signature achievement of her administration is now under direct judicial scrutiny\u2014and her furious response suggests the ruling hit a nerve. Well look here.   we have one Repub candidate that knows how to fight.   My hats off to Duke.  He educates the public, and fights for what he believes in.   Take notice repubs.   He is a man of substance and principal who takes the fight to the dems for a change.  REFRESHING. This is how Dems operate and keep the gullible voting them back into office.  Create free stuff, which we know isn\u2019t really free cause us tax payers have to pony up.  Good on Duke for taking it to court. mlg is a scumbag pos IMHO\u2026.her and the rest of the scumbags in Santa Fe have done nothing for the State of New Mexico except waste time and money on their leftist unconstitutional agenda.  They are a disgrace at best.  For a governor to say her oath isn\u2019t absolute is treason.  Anyone who doesn\u2019t uphold the constitution is an enemy within.  Time to clean house and get rid of the treasonous trash. 100 %  Correct . Yes, and it time to clean house(drain the swamp), however; these ungodly people who are and continue to make NM last in everything.. Seem like people still vote for them. Praying for  them all to take off their blinders and vote some conservative people who love America and the US constitution as well. MLG is a communist and a sore loser and a BABY KILLER MLG is correct in her statement about 2 things: 1) Duke is a citizen of Arizona (he actually does not meet citizenship requirements to run in our state as he does not vote her) and 2) New Mexico does not want him as Governor.  Us Republicans have two better options in the primary.  Duke is a donor to ACT Blue (Democrat funding group).  He is trying to bait and switch us like the new Virginia Governor did her state by pretending to be moderate and being a liberal.  Vote Red, but vote for a different candidate than Duke. your comment is incorrect.  the courts have already ruled that Duke meets all the requirements to run for governor. Ill say one thing for Duke,  he is more outspoken and at least fights the dems.    Ive heard Doug Turner on the radio, his ads are good.   Greg Hull is the invisible man.   if he thinks he can wait until the last minute and then defeat the dem he is wrong.    he has wasted too much time already with zero public exposure. I give Duke  lots of kudos for calling MLG out on her dictatorship agenda\u2019s. It\u2019s her way or no way. Duke does have an impressive resume but  I would not  vote for him. I truly believe his heart is for New Mexico  but relocating to Arizona is not in New Mexico\u2019s best interest. Thank you Duke. Well Done Duke!!! I have seen more of what Duke stands for and his willingness to fight for what\u2019s right. I know he was not chosen by the Republican party as a candidate of choice but at this point he has my vote. We have seen what an outsider businessman can get accomplished with both parties being less than supportive. Go Duke. MLG siphoned money from the Permanent Trust Funds to create this department.  Revneues that are supposed to benefit 22 Beneficiary institutions\u2026not to create a \u201csocial\u201d program which extends and funds another version of freebie-welfare.  If she wanted to create the Early Childhood department, she should have gone through CYFD, PED, and the other entities \u2014 collaboratively, that oversee child care. Geeez, I was not aware that the goobermint could possibly know more about raising kids than their parents \u2014 or that the one\u2019s who have no kids need to pay for all of it with taxes. Say it ain\u2019t so, Joe\u2026. (lol) Kids have gone down the wrong path to criminality when the government took over raising them back in the \u201880\u2019s I think. No more disciplining them.  No more spanking, every time a parent corrected their child it was called corporal punishment. That\u2019s why we have absent parents and 11 and 12 year olds are committing murder and the courts and legislature won\u2019t do any thing to stop it.

        "title": "  New Mexico Trump DOJ scores massive takedown in historic New Mexico gang case",
        "body": "President Donald Trump\u2019s administration announced the completion of what federal authorities are calling the largest racketeering prosecution in the history of New Mexico\u2019s federal district, marking the culmination of a decade-long effort to dismantle one of the state\u2019s most violent prison gangs. The U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of New Mexico, led by U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison, revealed Monday that federal prosecutors have concluded their sweeping prosecution of the Syndicato de Nuevo Mexico following the latest round of sentencing hearings, bringing to a close a years-long operation targeting the gang\u2019s leadership, members, and associates. According to federal officials, the investigation and prosecution ultimately resulted in state and federal charges against 178 individuals tied to the gang. SNM, which originated in the New Mexico prison system following the infamous 1980 prison riot, has long been regarded as one of the state\u2019s most dangerous criminal organizations. Federal authorities described the gang as a violent racketeering enterprise operating both inside correctional facilities and throughout communities across New Mexico. Prosecutors said SNM maintained its power through murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and witness intimidation, operating under a \u201cblood in, blood out\u201d philosophy that required prospective members to commit acts of violence to gain entry. Using the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Violent Crimes in Aid of Racketeering statute, prosecutors pursued what officials said was one of the most complex criminal enterprise cases ever brought in the state. The sheer scale of the operation was staggering. Federal investigators indicted 156 individuals on federal charges involving 325 overt criminal acts spanning from 1980 through 2024. Authorities successfully charged and convicted gang members connected to 13 murders, including killings both inside and outside correctional facilities. Among the most alarming revelations from the case was a disrupted 2015 plot to assassinate the then-secretary of the New Mexico Corrections Department and high-ranking members of the New Mexico State Police. Federal officials said the murder conspiracy was retaliation for the conviction of SNM associate Michael Paul Astorga in the killing of Bernalillo County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Jim McGrane. The investigation itself relied on extensive undercover operations and intelligence gathering. According to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office, agents conducted more than 110 undercover drug and firearm purchases, utilized dozens of confidential informants, and obtained court-authorized wiretaps to infiltrate the gang\u2019s operations. That effort exposed a sprawling criminal network trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine both inside prisons and throughout New Mexico communities. A major enforcement action in September 2022 led to the seizure of $1.8 million in cash, 1.1 million fentanyl pills, and 160 pounds of methamphetamine, along with firearms and other contraband. Twelve SNM members were sentenced to life in prison as part of the prosecution. \u201cThis case required years of patience, discipline, and persistence from prosecutors, agents, and staff who stayed with it to the end,\u201d said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison. \u201cIt was difficult work, but it was necessary work, and this office saw it through.\u201d Justin A. Garris likewise emphasized the magnitude of the case. \u201cIt is impossible to overstate the enormity of this investigation,\u201d Garris said. \u201cFor more than a decade, our team and partners stayed committed to dismantling violent crime and delivering justice for the victims and communities most impacted by this gang\u2019s violence.\u201d The prosecution was led by the FBI Albuquerque Field Office\u2019s Violent Gang Task Force, working alongside numerous federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The conclusion of the case represents a major law enforcement victory for the Trump administration\u2019s Justice Department and federal partners, who say the operation has dealt a crippling blow to one of New Mexico\u2019s most entrenched and violent criminal organizations. While officials cautioned that gang activity remains an ongoing challenge, they argued the successful dismantling of SNM\u2019s racketeering enterprise marks a historic step toward improving public safety in New Mexico. Largest Racketeering Prosecution in District History Against Syndicato de Nuevo Mexico (SNM) Comes to a Completion.Spanning over a decade, the investigation and subsequent litigation resulted in:\u27a1\ufe0fState & Federal charges for 178 members and associates\u27a1\ufe0f156 individuals\u2026 pic.twitter.com/GWfwIGDDPV So they finally got rid of the Democratic Party? Sounds such, you made me laugh! I wish to Hell they would get rid of those domestic terrorists. Wasn\u2019t Loser-Gruesome a member of the Padilla Street Gang?  Time has come to investigate her I lived in NM. Beautiful land, amazing history and mostly run by Mexicans. Worst animal abuse I had ever seen, horrific child abuse stories way too often, petty violence in towns and neighborhoods, complete disregard for driving rules and a complete disconnect between speeding through red lights and the carnage left behind in a cloud of exhaust fumes. In 2008 and 2010 I was broadsided by a non-English speaking person speeding through a red light on a busy major street. Neither had  a drivers license or insurance, both were belligerent towards me, the victim.  They totaled 2 very nice paid for cars and totaled me. The injuries ruined my life and to make it all perfect, I had no health/medical insurance and had to deal with severe injuries on my own. New Mexico is the only State governed and ruled by those whose roots are in Mexico. We escaped NM but my life was changed dramatically by the car wrecks I have never recovered from. Exactly. You claim to know the state\u2019s history, and then soon thereafter you reveal your ignorance. If Germans are the same as the English, then Mexicans are the same as New Mexican Hispanos. Big genetic difference; bigger historical difference. New Mexico has its problems, but failure to adequately learn about the cultures is no one\u2019s fault but your own. It looks like all the action ended in 2024, before Trump was president, with the \u201cmajor actions\u201d in 2022 under Biden.  To claim it\u2019s the \u201cTrump DOJ\u201d os clearly a misnomer. And people wonder why Trump says \u201cthese people are insane.\u201d \u2026you wouldn\u2019t know fact if it hit you up side the head. We\u2019re just gettin\u2019 started on New Mexico. \u201cAuto-Pen\u201d Joe Biden is dead and has been for many, many years since 2017. Go back to school and learn how to sort fact from your wanna be fantasies. Pilgrim, how soon we forget. I told you weeks ago that New Mexico was in the Administration\u2019s cross hairs\u2026 We\u2019re just getting warmed up! \u2026.next, it\u2019s on to the Socialist Republic of Kalifornia. \u201cRope Therapy\u201d inbound\u2026.

        "title": "Bregman's Brief Sugar Rush Ends With Journal Poll Showing Haaland Over 50 Percent Primary Support; Earlier Polling Had It Closer; Independent Sampling Key To Results",
        "body": "It was only a brief sugar rush for Sam Bregman.\u00a0Deb Haaland's weaker than expected performance in the Emerson College-KRQE poll\u00a0released last week was quickly washed away when the ABQ Journal survey\u00a0was released Sunday and showed her not only above the 40 percent support of Democratic primary voters Emerson had her at, but at 52 percent--above the magic 50 percent mark that so often signals an Election Night victory.\u00a0Bregman received 30 percent support and 18 percent were undecided in the June 2 Democratic gubernatorial primary election, according to the poll which has a margin of error of\u00a0plus or minus 4.2 percent.So what happened? The answer was on our Thursday blog where questions were raised about the number of independent voters surveyed by Emerson. For the first time indys are able to vote in the Democratic and Republican primary elections. The Emerson sampling of them, who lean more toward Bregman, appeared to be on the high side.\u00a0The Journal survey, led by the estimable Brian Sanderoff, included 65 likely independent voters in the April 17-24 survey of 534 voters. That represents 12 percent of the Democratic electorate although independents make up 26 percent of the state's registered voters. Sanderoff previously told us that we would be lucky to reach a 10 percent turnout among the indys so his 12 percent allotment in the Dem primary was actually generous. They broke for Bregman 37 to 33. He told us Sunday:When it comes to adding independent voters for the Primary poll, we are entering a new and unknown world, due to the statutory changes. For the Democratic Primary in the Governor's race, 12% of the sample is among unaffiliated voters who said they will vote in the Democratic Primary. Of this group, 31% said they are undecided in the Governor's race.\u00a0\u00a0The independents did appear to spell the difference between the two surveys and rapidly reset the table for the primary, with Bregman having to scurry to make up lost ground and Haaland probably more resolute in not rocking the boat and even more committed to not giving Bregman any debating rope.   It's not as though Bregman has run a poor campaign. It has been spirited. His media has been polished. He has been on message and out on the campaign trail. But the math in a Democratic primary is now so tilted\u00a0 toward a progressive candidate that a fading species like Bregman--a moderate Dem--starts three laps behind. He could use another progressive in the race to chip away at Haaland.\u00a0VICTORY LAPThe Haaland campaign joined the Emerson and Journal polls together to take a victory lap:Data from the Albuquerque Journal and KRQE/Emerson College agrees, Haaland is poised to secure the nomination by double digits. According to the Journal poll, she is leading across demographic groups and with Independent voters. Meanwhile, Haaland\u2019s opponent fails to gain ground despite campaigning for over a year and spending millions on advertising.A double-digit win would mean at minimum a victory of 55-45 over Bregman.\u00a0In late February Haaland\u2019s campaign released an internal poll showing\u00a0her at 56% support. Bregman made no comment on the Journal poll after boasting about the closer Emerson survey.\u00a0\u00a0THE DEMOS\u00a0The Journal, whose polling still relies on more expensive but also more accurate professional cell phone interviews, said Haaland showed strength with women (57-33) as well as those who identify as liberal/progressive (65-24) and those with college degrees (60-23). Those are the prime demographics who vote in the traditionally low turnout primary elections.\u00a0Bregman scores higher with Hispanics (45-38), men (47-33) and the noncollege educated.STILL SOME TIME\u00a0The one ally Bregman has--but not for long--is time. Heavy in person\u00a0early voting is still over two weeks away. That gives him time to adjust his message and retool. But the Journal poll is the gold standard and going forward he will need fresh surveys that show him making progress, if his fundraising boat is to stay afloat. And it goes without saying that Haaland is going to have to make some serious campaign mistakes.\u00a0The Journal is not expected to do any more polling for the primary. They say they will release the results of their survey in the Republican gubernatorial primary next Sunday.\u00a0Haaland, who would be the nation's\u00a0first Native American woman to be a governor, has nationalized her candidacy and collected a breathtaking $11.1 million in donations with months of fundraising still ahead. Sanderoff and others have opined that the desire of the Democrats to accomplish an historic first is driving the party's sentiment toward her.So after a brief flirtation with a possibly closer race than expected, we are back where we started with Haaland's dominance showing and Bregman still looking for a magic formula to move her off the magic number.\u00a0\u00a0BETTING ON IT\u00a0Bregman supporters can't look to the betting markets for any polling relief. Those plunking down cash on the Polymarket prediction site show bettors picking Haaland 82 to 18 percent to win the primary.\u00a0The BernCo District Attorney did better with a NYT\u00a0headline teasing their report on the primary:Deb Haaland\u2019s Historic Run for Governor Hits a Primary Snag; The former interior secretary seemed to have an easy path to becoming  the first woman and Native American to be New Mexico\u2019s governor \u2014 until  Sam Bregman challenged her.\u00a0\u00a0Bregman only wishes that could have been the headline above the latest poll.\u00a0\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics\u00a0E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico Greg Cunningham lands major national backing in bid to flip CD-2",
        "body": "New Mexico\u2019s 2nd Congressional District is drawing even more national Republican attention as GOP candidate Greg Cunningham has been tapped for a key National Republican Congressional Committee program aimed at helping flip vulnerable Democrat-held seats in 2026. The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Monday that Cunningham has been added to its \u201cMAGA Majority\u201d program, a national initiative designed to support what the committee calls the next wave of \u201cAmerica First\u201d congressional candidates in top battleground races across the country. The designation places Cunningham among a select list of Republican candidates from competitive districts nationwide who are expected to receive early strategic support, increased visibility, and additional campaign resources from House Republicans as the party looks to expand its majority in Congress. In announcing Cunningham\u2019s inclusion, NRCC spokesman Reilly Richardson sharply contrasted the Republican challenger with incumbent Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez. \u201cAs a Marine Corps veteran, former Albuquerque police officer, and lifelong New Mexican, Greg Cunningham is ready to defeat radical Democrat Gabe Vasquez and flip NM-02 red this November,\u201d Richardson said in a statement. \u201cCunningham is the antithesis of Vasquez\u2019s high tax, defund the police, open borders agenda and will finally give New Mexicans the representation they deserve.\u201d Cunningham wrote via X following the news, \u201cSo honored to be included by the @NRCC in this group of fantastic @GOP candidates who will grow our House majority in November! #NM02 is ready for conservative leadership and our campaign is building momentum by the day.\u201d So honored to be included by the @NRCC in this group of fantastic @GOP candidates who will grow our House majority in November! #NM02 is ready for conservative leadership and our campaign is building momentum by the day. https://t.co/UDwT80AZwb The announcement is the latest sign that national Republicans increasingly view New Mexico\u2019s 2nd Congressional District as a prime pickup opportunity in 2026. The district, which spans much of southern New Mexico, has become one of the most competitive congressional seats in the state. Although it was redrawn by Democrats in the Legislature in 2021 in a controversial gerrymander, the district remains highly contested. President Donald Trump carried the district in 2024 even while it remained in Democrat hands at the congressional level. Cunningham has quickly emerged as a favorite among national Republicans. In recent weeks, he secured endorsements from President Trump and the full Republican House leadership team, signaling broad GOP alignment behind his candidacy early in the cycle. The NRCC\u2019s MAGA Majority program is specifically intended to elevate candidates in districts where Republicans believe Democrats are vulnerable. According to the committee, the initiative is designed to capitalize on the fact that more than a dozen House Democrats currently represent districts won by Trump. The Cunningham announcement comes as Republicans continue ramping up attacks on Vasquez over his voting record and positioning on law enforcement. In a separate statement issued this week, the NRCC accused Vasquez of hypocrisy after he publicly thanked Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers who responded to a recent security incident at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. \u201cDishonest Gabe Vasquez claims to appreciate law enforcement, but New Mexicans know the truth,\u201d Richardson said. \u201cWhether he\u2019s voting to block Department of Homeland Security funding or trying to defund the police, Vasquez is, was, and always will be anti-cop.\u201d Still, the growing involvement of national Republicans suggests the race is rapidly becoming one of the GOP\u2019s top offensive targets of the cycle. With Cunningham now backed by President Trump, House GOP leadership, and the NRCC\u2019s national candidate program, the 2nd District is increasingly being treated as one of the premier battlegrounds in the country. For Republicans, the message is clear: NM-02 is in their sights, and they believe Gabe Vasquez is one of the most vulnerable Democrats in Congress. Thank you Greg Cunningham for exposing  Gabe Vasquez for who he really is\u2014 a defund the police, open the border, and melt the ICE radical leftist. Vasquez is probably sorry the shooter didn\u2019t get  Trump. Go with Greg. Law enforcement endorsements will soon follow. Congratulations Greg you are on a roll..let\u2019s make this happen and support our Republican candidates that are running office. Wise up voters especially independents.. we need to make our Land of Enchantment great again with common sense government. This is a very critical time for our State\u2026the democrats have demonized every square corner of the state with their woke agenda. Greg this is your friend.  With all that you know and all that you\u2019ve sacrificed you\u2019ve got this.  VOTE FOR GREG!  He will do New Mexico well. A true New Mexican. Viva New Mexico. Vote Cunningham New Mexico!

        "title": " ICE officer protecting LA, 2025. DHSgov. New Mexico Activists say quiet part out loud about NM\u2019s anti-ICE agenda",
        "body": "A new article from far-left outlet Truthout is openly confirming what many suspected all along: New Mexico\u2019s so-called \u201cImmigrant Safety Act\u201d was designed to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, cripple ICE detention capacity, and serve as a model for other blue states seeking to undermine deportation operations. In the piece, titled \u201cNew Mexico Becomes the Latest State to End Cooperation With ICE Under New Law,\u201d activists and legal architects behind the legislation admit that the law\u2019s purpose is to interfere with President Donald Trump\u2019s deportation agenda by cutting off detention space needed for removals. Sophia Genovese, an attorney who worked on both the New Jersey and New Mexico campaigns, told Truthout plainly: \u201cEnding local and state cooperation with ICE is an important way of throwing sand in the gears of the Trump administration\u2019s mass deportation machine.\u201d She added the clearest admission of all: \u201cThere cannot be mass deportations without detention.\u201d That statement confirms the law was never merely about public safety or local control. It was crafted specifically to obstruct deportations by reducing ICE\u2019s access to detention facilities in New Mexico. Truthout\u2019s reporting further shows New Mexico\u2019s legislation is being celebrated nationally as a template for similar anti-ICE laws across the country. \u201cWe see a tremendous upswelling of this type of legislation being proposed in different states across the country,\u201d said Rebecca Sheff of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, who helped draft the law. Sheff said the current political climate is \u201ca time to make the most of the political willingness to take bold action,\u201d making clear activists see New Mexico as a launching pad for broader national efforts. Truthout reports that comparable \u201cDignity, Not Detention\u201d laws are already in place in California, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Colorado, and Maryland, while organizers in New York are actively pushing similar legislation. New Mexico is now being held up as the newest success story in that campaign. The article also makes clear that New Mexico\u2019s law is intended to force ICE out of existing detention contracts in counties like Torrance and Cibola. \u201cThese agreements will no longer be legal,\u201d Truthout states, noting the law requires public entities to terminate those contracts as soon as permitted. That means New Mexico counties will lose detention-related jobs, revenue, and economic activity tied to those contracts\u2014all while ICE simply shifts detainees elsewhere. Rather than ending detention, the law pushes illegal immigrants into facilities in neighboring states such as Texas, where ICE maintains other detention infrastructure, including facilities like Camp East Montana. New Mexico loses the economic benefits while other states receive the detainees and federal dollars. Truthout also reveals the ideological extremism driving the law. One activist quoted in the piece described immigration detention as \u201cliterally kidnapping and disappearing folks into these systems.\u201d Another said the goal is to \u201cabolish immigration detention\u201d altogether. Those statements expose the broader agenda behind the legislation: not reform, but dismantlement of the immigration enforcement system itself. The article further praises New Mexico for using state authority under the 10th Amendment to resist federal immigration enforcement and \u201cwithhold state involvement in ICE detention,\u201d as Sheff put it. In short, Truthout\u2019s own reporting makes the purpose of New Mexico\u2019s anti-ICE law unmistakable: the state is being used as a pawn in a national progressive campaign to obstruct deportations, dismantle ICE detention infrastructure, and export radical anti-enforcement policy to other states. What supporters marketed as an \u201cimmigrant safety\u201d bill is, by their own admission, a strategic effort to jam the machinery of federal immigration enforcement\u2014while New Mexico counties and taxpayers bear the cost. NM dont need no stinking law and order.  we need anarchy , chaos, and hand outs, not hand ups.  Viva La Revolution. Eat the rich and gimmee my freebies. Welfare state and government jobs.  The Demoncrat way. You\u2019re right, Jack Off- NM wants a return to the Wild West. Congressman Vasquez has made it clear that  he wants  ICE facilities shut down NmM and everywhere in the country.  But he doesn\u2019t say what would happen to detainees or the fearful people in the community, once detainees are released. Best thing to do is for everyone to vote democrat in the primary and check the box against Haaland.  She is just an Obama marionette and will further drive the state into ruin. It should be a matter of time before the federal government takes federal funds away from states that do not support ice and other programs like providing voter roles for review.  I say take federal funds away, all of it, disregard NM votes (so we lose or federal representative to other sates.)  I already only have a voice at the county level, as there is no representation at the state or federal level for conservatives (at least my part of the county) .  Let\u2019s see how long the NM libtards and socialist last when the state pays for all the roads, all the food stamps, all the schools, \u2026\u2026\u2026  My guess the democrats in weirdo Santa Fe will be fine with it, but when they run out of NM money the people may change on them. Federal judges wont let the money stop flowing.   The quiet secret is that when a dem wins the presidency in 2028 they are going to financially bail out cities like Chicago, LA, Baltimore, etc,  that are in financial distress.   Those cities are unable to balance their books because of pension obligations and freebie programs that they will not change. Yeah, but a Dem WON\u2019T win the presidency in 2028. The times they are a-changing. I have lived in NM since 1995.  And nothing ever changes unless it is for the worse.  If people don\u2019t understand why NM is so messed up by now, then they never will.  It is quit a shame too.  I think NM could be a cash cow just like AZ if the people woke up and started voting for more conservatives that believe in more marketing of NM resources and less politicians that care more about their own power and money. 1995?  Try since 1965.  But, your point is spot on. You nailed it!!! Not surprised in the least. What do you expect from demoNcrats? Time to go to Texas law and order That\u2019s what the Left wants\u2026..people that flee instead of fight play right into their hands. First Gabe Vasquez wanted to defund the police; now he wants to stop ICE. Vote for  Greg Cunningham in November. Great reporting! We need more of this! Gabe was not born in America, he was born in Juarez,Mexico. When Biden and his minions allowed millions into our Country without due process and vetting, he broke our immigration laws. The illegals/immigrants were used as pawns for the sole purpose of destroying our Republic. I  now see these illegals panhandling in our city..falling into the homeless camps\u2026 I support those who are on the front lines protecting our citizens whether it be ICE our military or the men in Blue. God bless them and keep them out of harms way\u2026 This is why I carry My gun when I go out Ineed more targets I \u2764\ufe0f ICE. There\u2019s going to be an uprising! We the people are tired of these FU**ED up politicians destroying New Mexico!! First off that POS Loserjan piglet has done nothing but steal money and gallivant around the world pushing her pocket lining agenda in the name of \u201cgreen energy\u201d.   Gabe Valdez has proven over and over he wants to destroy New Mexico,Deb Halfwit Haaland turned her back on New Mexico and the Indian nation when she went to Washington! Now we have some loud mouth macho man lawyer wanting to step in to the Gov\u2019s so he can make up his own rules and has threatened ICE agents.. ALL OF THESE IDIOTS NEED SHUT DOWN AND MOST NEED TO SPEND TIME BEHIND BARS FOR WASTE,FRAUD AND ABUSE OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS!! NEW MEXICO can be a wonderful place but it can\u2019t be as long as these type of idiots are elected in to office!! Tom, you nailed it! Oh they want illegals to be allowed to stay in communities across the state, just not in their neighborhoods.

        "body": " Highlights: This will be the last daily update for the Tusas Fire unless fire behavior changes significantly.  Yesterday, crews focused on securing and patrolling containment lines and on mopping up along the fire perimeter. Despite strong winds, the fire remained within the established lines. Crews also began suppression repair work, including repairing bulldozer lines along the northern perimeter.  Road closures and Ready, Set, Go statuses remain lifted, but the public should proceed with caution, as firefighting operations continue on NM 266 and the surrounding area.  Operations:\u00a0Today, fire crews will continue patrolling and securing the fireline by extinguishing or removing burning material. Smoke impacts to the area have diminished, although smoke may still be visible in the interior. Suppression repair activities continue along the northern edge of the fire, where bulldozer and handline will be restored. \u00a0Some resources have been released from the fire to assist with other wildfires burning in the state.  On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, command of the fire will transition back to the local unit.  Safety:\u00a0The primary objective for the Tusas Fire is firefighter and public safety. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in place to keep the area clear for responding aircraft. No drones or aircraft will be allowed to fly in the area. Flying will force air resources to be grounded immediately. If you fly, they can\u2019t.  Weather:\u00a0Today, high of 68 degrees. Partly cloudy with a chance of sprinkles in the afternoon. A Red Flag warning is in effect and will bring strong southwest to west winds gusting up to 45mph.  Smoke:\u00a0Smoke impacts have diminished.

        "title": " Biden USDA New Mexico NYT says Deb Haaland\u2019s \u2018coronation\u2019 is in trouble",
        "body": "What was once expected to be a quiet march to the Democrat nomination for governor has suddenly become national news, with even the The New York Times now acknowledging that Joe Biden\u2019s former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is facing a far more difficult path than many in New Mexico\u2019s political establishment anticipated. In a Friday feature on the race, the Times framed Haaland\u2019s gubernatorial bid as a would-be \u201ccoronation\u201d that has been disrupted by Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, who entered the race despite widespread assumptions that Haaland would clear the Democrat field. \u201cI don\u2019t think we should have coronations in a democracy,\u201d Bregman told the Times in a direct rebuke of the notion that Haaland should simply inherit the nomination. The article underscores how what many insiders believed would be a straightforward race has instead become a competitive and increasingly contentious primary battle, elevating New Mexico\u2019s gubernatorial contest into the national spotlight. The Times notes that Haaland entered the race as a \u201cpolitical celebrity\u201d in Democrat New Mexico and \u201cmight have expected a cakewalk\u201d after launching her campaign. But Bregman\u2019s challenge has complicated that narrative, forcing Haaland to defend her record and campaign more aggressively than many expected. Though Haaland maintains advantages in fundraising and polling, the Times reported that \u201cenough voters remain undecided to keep Mr. Bregman\u2019s hopes alive.\u201d Political analyst Gabriel Sanchez of the University of New Mexico told the paper the race remains \u201cstill up for grabs.\u201d The Times also observed that Haaland appears to be presenting herself as \u201cthe traditional safe choice candidate,\u201d while Bregman is pitching himself as the anti-establishment alternative. Bregman has used that contrast to sharpen his attacks, portraying the Democrat establishment as \u201cweak, ineffective and complicit\u201d in broader national dysfunction. He has also centered his campaign on crime and law-and-order messaging, branding himself in the Times\u2019 words as a \u201cswaggering lawman who is unafraid to lock up wrongdoers.\u201d Meanwhile, Haaland\u2019s campaign has found itself confronting scrutiny that extends beyond typical primary politics. The Times highlighted Bregman\u2019s efforts to press Haaland over her appearance in Justice Department files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, Haaland\u2019s name appears in records showing she was listed as a passenger on a jet chartered by one of Epstein\u2019s companies during her 2014 lieutenant governor campaign. Bregman told the Times, \u201cEverybody in New Mexico deserves to know the truth of what happened out there.\u201d Haaland denied wrongdoing, saying she had no idea Epstein was involved and never met him. She dismissed the attack line, telling the Times: \u201cIf I rode on the Epstein plane, then Sam Bregman is a real cowboy\u2026 He ain\u2019t no real cowboy. I didn\u2019t ride on Epstein\u2019s plane.\u201d The Times further noted that Haaland is under \u201cperhaps unanticipated scrutiny\u201d over her record, with critics arguing that despite holding \u201csome significant titles,\u201d she has not sufficiently delivered results. In perhaps the most telling acknowledgment of the race\u2019s competitiveness, Haaland herself pushed back on claims she has the race sewn up. \u201cI do not have it in the bag,\u201d she told the Times. \u201cI never say that. I will work until 7 o\u2019clock on June 2 when the polls close.\u201d For a race many expected to be over before it began, that statement alone may be the clearest sign yet that Haaland\u2019s \u201ccoronation\u201d has become anything but certain. We can only hope! I hope haaland does NOT GET VOTED IN. SHE IS STUPID AND IS CONTROLED BY THE LEFT. I HOPE NM GETS CLEANED UP AND BECOMES A GOOD PKACE TO LIVE. WITH HER IT WONT if the race is so competitive why is she so far ahead in the polls ?  if she wins the primary she is going to be our next governor.   NM STUPID IS NM TRUE in todays ABQ sunday paper Haaland is ahead over bregman by 22 points.   makes this article seem misleading. New Mexico True Stupid if Haaland wins in November. Go ahead and elect the newest drunkard supporter for tourism dollars for abortion baby killer\u2026 its not like NM knows any better since electing MLG who ended up bring the original \u201cAbortion tourism for dollars infacidial baby killer\u201d. Electing Democrats equates to electing Satanic little helpers. Staying with the political party insinuates and confirm you support the sickness in the mindset of the D party. How anyone can still be registered as a D\u2026 is just repugnant. D\u2019s are just so sick, mentally & emotionally and are just hollow shells of humanity. This demoNAZI clown is so stupid she makes crack daddy and callamala look like brain surgeons!!!  The three of them combined, if they were going to perform a tonsillectomy they would go thru the patients anus to remove the tonsils.  And any person that votes for this clown is beyond repair and need a tonsillectomy done by one of these 3 brain dead clowns.  NM is in such SAD shape it\u2019s unbelievable!!! So glad I got out of the demoNAZI cesspool Already sick of her commercials and they just started. It\u2019s going to be a long election cycle. Go Duke. God forbid she wins the primary, Bregman  at least has some sense of the law.. I don\u2019t understand why she\u2019s ahead in the polls according to the Albuquerque Sunday journal. The Republican Party has 3 or maybe 4 that can hold their own when speaking of their goals for NM. We may not agree with their agenda but are willing to make voices known. Haaland is a graduate of the Joe Biden Air Head Institute, nothing  visible upstairs. Does that hold true for the voters backing Haaland? Clean the voter rolls and we may get a different outcome. Just sayin\u2019\u2026 DOJ has so far found over 350,000 dead voters on rolls of states that have complied. Democrat run states (e.g. NM) refusing to turn over voter rolls tells us there\u2019s likely lots of dead voters, illegals, duplicate names, phony addresses, etc. \u2018voting\u2019.  This is how they\u2019ve installed their  cherry-picked Dem candidates across the country. Throw money at the Dem candidate, tell everyone that candidate is in the lead even tho she can\u2019t put 2 sentences together and refuses to debate others, use software so every ineligible voter on the rolls \u2018votes\u2019, and then have Soros money controling the Secy of State, counting the votes.  Done! All legitimate New Mexicans voting legally are left scratching their heads wondering how it happened and cursing other \u2018dumb\u2019 voters. We are, and have been played. The DOJ was here last week putting some pressure on Maggie T Oliver.  So we now have a glimmer of hope. Pray,  and may God help us! Spot on, Ro, spot on!  NM may seem dumb,  but I do think it has everything to do with who is voting and how the votes are counted. Halland is so empty headed you can almost see the democrat talking points in her eyes as a screen HALLAND STAY OUT OF SAN JAUN COUNTY WE HATE DEMORATS I have wondered how MLG got re-elected while being a dictator during COVID. Either Bernalillo County voters are willing to be subjects instead of citizens and held their noses and voted for her or ( and this the big question) did the SOS fudge the numbers in her favor.  Drop boxes, mail in ballots, are abused and when they count ballots instead of votes the democrats always win. Voters have to change their party affiliation in order for counting ballots instead of votes to work. MLG kept the liquor stores and pot shops open as she fired people for not taking an experimental vaccine that provided you heart issues and little protection.   just the best Queen Mother NM could ever want. In this first year of the \u201copen primary\u201d, as a non-declaired voter, I was thinking of voting Democrat party for Bregman, not because I like him as much as I despise her! Just an idea, don\u2019t like political party\u2019s. As we all know by now, she was caring about the bears. I guess that\u201ds as goo an excuse as anything for getting a DWI. We must vote the Democrats out of office .  All they have done to New Mexico is ruin us . We are last in education and in the top for crime . If Haaland wins the Democrat nomination, I honestly believe the Republican candidate will defeat her in the general election. She is a joke! The only way to keep Haaland out of the governors mansion is for Republicans to vote for Bregman in the primary.   She wins the primary, she wins the general. New Mexicans WAKE UP and do your part to preserve and protect New Mexico from either of these two corrupt IDIOTS!! Research before you run over and pull the typical Dembocrap behavior of voting Dembocrap. Heritage or union influence has done nothing but put corrupt politicians in office. RESEARCH these candidates.. Don\u2019t let them weasle their way in! Your email address will not be published.

At the time, the New Mexico GOP said it had little choice but to relocate because Lujan Grisham\u2019s pandemic gathering limits made holding a large in-state convention effectively impossible. But rather than expressing understanding, the governor\u2019s office ridiculed the move. \u201cIn the meantime, if an organization can\u2019t be bothered to adhere to reasonable health guidelines in a pandemic, by all means, spread the virus elsewhere,\u201d then-press secretary Nora Meyers Sackett said in a statement to the Santa Fe New Mexican. \u201cHopefully I don\u2019t need to elaborate on the inherent risks to health and safety posed by mass gatherings amid an ongoing pandemic.\u201d Now, five years later, the same governor who mocked Republicans for \u201cspreading the virus elsewhere\u201d is happily heading to Texas to headline a partisan political event of her own. Long History of Bashing Texas The irony goes deeper than the convention itself. Throughout her governorship, Lujan Grisham has repeatedly attacked Texas\u2014often using the neighboring state as a foil for New Mexico policy messaging. In 2024, her administration launched a campaign targeting Texas abortion doctors, inviting them to flee what she called Texas\u2019 \u201cdraconian\u201d abortion laws and relocate to New Mexico under her \u201cFree to Provide\u201d initiative. Later that year, while breaking ground on a taxpayer-funded abortion center in southern New Mexico, her office highlighted that the facility would serve patients traveling from Texas, where abortion access is \u201cseverely restricted.\u201d Her administration has also repeatedly used Texas as a punching bag on environmental issues. In multiple press releases from 2023 through 2025, Lujan Grisham\u2019s office touted New Mexico\u2019s methane regulations by contrasting them with \u201cless-regulated Texas,\u201d claiming New Mexico\u2019s oil and gas emissions are \u201chalf\u201d those of Texas. She also criticized Texas border security measures, dismissing Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s razor-wire fencing efforts near the New Mexico border as a \u201cpolitical stunt\u201d with \u201cno meaningful impact.\u201d Meanwhile, the Democratic Party of New Mexico joined with Texas Democrats in 2023 to attack Texas border fencing, calling it an \u201cOperation Lone Star stunt\u201d that caused \u201cenvironmental damage\u201d and \u201ccommunity division.\u201d Political Double Standard To Republicans, the governor\u2019s Texas speaking engagement highlights what critics view as a familiar pattern: condemning conservative ties to Texas while embracing Democrat ones. In 2021, when Republicans crossed state lines for a convention because New Mexico restrictions prevented them from holding it at home, they were mocked and scolded by the governor\u2019s office. In 2026, when Lujan Grisham crosses the same border for a partisan political speech, it is celebrated. The episode is likely to fuel further criticism from New Mexicans who have long argued that Lujan Grisham treats Texas (our neighbor) as a convenient political villain\u2014except when it benefits her or her party. For a governor who has spent years denouncing Texas policies, Texas leadership, and even New Mexicans traveling there for political events, her upcoming keynote appearance at the Texas Democratic Convention is proving to be the very definition of hypocrisy. Everything\u2019s bigger and better in Texas And everything\u2019s lesser and a stressor in New Mexico. MLG:  \u201d Yee- haw!\u201d She\u2019s a joke and those who headlined her as keynote speaker couldn\u2019t find anyone else who has the resume of an idiot..she holds that title. MLG \u2013 My Lousy Governor.   the only place she should be headed is prison for violating our civil rights during covid.  she is a lousy speech giver.   watch her.   every sentence forced.  totally unnatural.  who could listen to this fool.   NM stayed in last place under her for 8 years despite tens of billions in excess from gas and oil revenues.   you gotta be pretty bad to f that up. but she did. She really is a lousy speaker, Cesar. Nothing but word salad, nonsensical examples and youre right, she\u2019s unnatural and to me, completely insincere. Goes to show that democrats in texas are just as stupid as democrats in new mexico. They really are, but here thankfully,  it\u2019s flipped.  They are the minority party. So nice here. Such a difference to the dirty,  unsafe and wasteful place she has allowed to fester in NM. So sad. They\u2019re democrats. Nothing more is needed to say. She should stay there \u2026 everything\u2019s bigger in Texas and she\u2019s the biggest fallen angel of them all! Nope! Y\u2019all can have her back. Noooo thank you! Lol Loserjan is an embarrassment!! Whoever invited her needs their head examined! folks, she is always running for something. You can bet this is just the beginning of her next campaign. since she can\u2019t run again in NM without taking a lower office as it doesn\u2019t appear that our esteemed Senators intend to step down and she already had a house seat, so you can look for her to try to get on the Presidential ticket in 2028. I know that sounds ridiculous, but this country has shown that it has no limits to the idiocy that can be exercised in the voting booth. MLG is doing the Texas 2- Step. It\u2019s like Vasquez going to El Paso to publicly denounce the ICE  detention center there. MLG going toTexas ! Why, was Satan not available!! While she is out of the state, in Amarillo, could we maybe change the locks? Your email address will not be published.

        "title": " US House Chamber New Mexico Leftist forecast shrugs off GOP chances\u2014but NM races tell much different story",
        "body": "A new forecast from The Economist is drawing national attention for predicting a near-certain Democratic takeover of the U.S. House in 2026. The model gives Democrats a 98% chance of winning the chamber, projecting a net gain of roughly 33 seats. At the same time, it shows a narrowly divided Senate, with Republicans holding a 53% chance of maintaining control. But beneath those sweeping national conclusions lies a more complicated reality\u2014especially in New Mexico, where on-the-ground political dynamics suggest far more competitive races than the model indicates. Perhaps the most glaring disconnect is in New Mexico\u2019s 2nd Congressional District. The Economist model assigns Democrat Gabe Vasquez a 99% chance of re-election, effectively removing the race from the competitive map. Yet other respected forecasters tell a different story. The Cook Political Report rates NM-02 as EVEN on its Partisan Voting Index, meaning the district performs almost exactly in line with the national vote. That alone makes it one of the most competitive districts in the country. According to Sabato\u2019s Crystal Ball, the seat \u201cleans Democratic\u201d And there are clear signs Republicans are gearing up for a serious challenge. Republican candidate Greg Cunningham has secured a high-profile endorsement from Donald Trump\u2014who carried the district in 2024\u2014as well as backing from the entire U.S. House Republican leadership team. That kind of unified national support signals the GOP sees NM-02 as a real pickup opportunity, regardless of what national models suggest. In the 3rd Congressional District, long considered a Democratic stronghold, new developments are also challenging conventional wisdom. Cook rates the district at just D+3, far from a safe margin. Now, Republican state Rep. Martin Zamora of Clovis is mounting a serious campaign against incumbent Teresa Leger Fernandez. In a notable early sign of strength, Zamora out-raised the incumbent in the previous fundraising quarter, suggesting his campaign is gaining traction both financially and politically. That kind of fundraising momentum, combined with a relatively narrow partisan lean, could turn NM-03 into a race to watch\u2014particularly if national conditions shift even slightly toward Republicans. Even New Mexico\u2019s 1st Congressional District may not be entirely off the table. While rated D+7 by Cook, the district has seen growing frustration among some voters with incumbent Melanie Stansbury. Stansbury has drawn criticism for a series of social media controversies and polarizing rhetoric that some Republicans argue has embarrassed the state on a national stage. Questions have also been raised in conservative circles regarding alleged associations tied to broader figures connected to Ghislaine Maxwell, though such claims remain politically charged and disputed. With speculation that a more formidable Republican challenger could emerge, NM-01 may at least become more competitive than in previous cycles. At the Senate level, The Economist model gives Democrat Ben Ray Luj\u00e1n a 94% chance of re-election, with a projected 57% vote share, suggesting a relatively stable race. However, Republicans are not entirely absent from the contest. GOP candidate Larry Marker is mounting a write-in campaign and is positioning himself as a challenger to what supporters describe as entrenched, career political leadership in Washington. While write-in bids face structural hurdles, Marker\u2019s entry adds another dimension to a race that national models have largely written off. While The Economist paints a picture of Democratic dominance in the House, its model may be over-reliant on national trends that fail to capture the granular realities of individual districts. In New Mexico, those realities tell a more competitive story: a true swing district in NM-02, a narrowing margin in NM-03, and emerging questions even in NM-01. Add in strong Republican recruitment, fundraising momentum, and high-profile endorsements, and the state\u2019s congressional map looks far less settled than a 98% national forecast might suggest. If anything, New Mexico may prove to be a test case for whether national models\u2014or local political realities\u2014ultimately have the final say in 2026. I like the sound of conservatism making a move but truthfully unless something is not done with our voting integrity we will lose out.  I know the federal government is trying to review NMs voting roles and getting no where.  The dems cheat and nothing is being done to correct it.  The feds should take all NM federals seats away until NM proves all the dead folks, illegal folks and dual folks are taken off our voting roles. That is the best idea I have heard in a long time. I would argue for removal of statehood.  How can NM be part of the Republican if our votes don\u2019t count? The Economist may well find its relevance in the scope of hyperbole. Watching trends is one thing but making suggestive predictions are a horse of another color. Of course, on this topic, including all of the voting states is critical in painting the picture.  But in New Mexico a Picasso cannot be a Scott  LoBaido.  Fragmented culture versus the new poli-residential influx brings generational sameness alongside diverse and free-spirited optimism. That said, the influx of new thinkers and fed up long-timers sets a stage for radical transformation.   The dynasties that promote entitlement are facing the people who are tired of rhetoric and patronizing seat holders at the National and State levels. On social media those who scream but don\u2019t vote are being spanked at the pump, in the workforce and educational system.   Social services are being strained by undeserving \u201coutsiders\u201d and resources are being primed for depletion by data center considerations.   Welfare from the cradle to the grave is placing a stranglehold over individual authority, while restrictive boundaries are becoming larger as fires, drought or flooding may naturally or unnaturally occur. The overarching theme of this election cycle is getting voters to the polls and transparency in the results.  Eyes wide open and pen in hand, New Mexico is primed for a clean shot. Wow! A fine analysis, Ronda. Making sure conservatives get out and vote and that they know who our write in candidates are and how to write them is is important for our success.  And if you can contribute even $5 or $10 to a conservative campaign, it helps. Heather is so right.  Fund Raising is the hardest thing.  I can use all the help I can get.  Go to KenForNM.com if you can help in any way. NM Voter Beware: Just saying. http://youtube.com/post/UgkxDq2UT7Ct78pCSbbzofa74FYQlpMd8GhG?si=HIr0dlhuHa9FW140 Wishful thinking on the part of \u201d \u201cThe Economist.\u201d If and only IF New Mexicans are paying attention to the deceit, thievery and backstabbing of the current dembocrap party and the piglet squatting in the Governors chair, then vote the corrupt politicians out New Mexico has a lot of potential!

        "body": "The March blessing ceremony at the Atrisco Acequia Madre.  The March blessing ceremony at the Atrisco Acequia Madre. This article originally appeared on\u00a0Inside Climate News, a nonprofit, non-partisan news organization that covers climate, energy and the environment. Sign up for their newsletter\u00a0here. On a sunny spring morning at the end of March, a woman raised her little girl above an irrigation ditch that runs just west of the Rio Grande in Albuquerque\u2019s South Valley. The toddler, with a braided head piece crowning her long, brown hair and artificial flowers around her neck, enthusiastically tossed an assortment of colored petals into the water below as a small crowd cheered. It was part of a blessing ceremony at the headwaters of the Atrisco Acequia Madre (Atrisco Mother Ditch)\u2014considered to be the oldest and most important of these irrigation canals in the area\u2014during \u201cPrimera Agua,\u201d an annual celebration that commemorates the first water flow of the season. The day, sponsored by the Center for Social Sustainable Systems (CESSOS), a local advocacy group, was filled with traditional dances, songs, chants, blessings and speeches about community. But it also included acknowledgments of the water challenges that New Mexico faces. This year, New Mexicans are confronting record-low snowpack, which is essential for supplying an even flow of water into acequia systems. Record heat isn\u2019t helping, as it accelerates evaporation throughout New Mexico waterways and has contributed to an early melt off of the already thin snowpack. At the March 29 Primera Agua event, temperatures were 14 degrees Fahrenheit above average in Albuquerque, and about a week earlier, the city set a record for the earliest 90-degree day of the year. Like much of the West, the city also experienced its warmest winter on record. \u201cEvery year seems like it\u2019s a new bar in terms of the record low,\u201d Paul Tashjian, director of freshwater conservation for Audubon Southwest, said of the low water levels that were already hitting the state in late March. \u201cBut this year is almost like that on steroids\u2026It\u2019s not a pretty picture.\u201d  \u201cIt\u2019s in Your Blood\u201d  New Mexico\u2019s acequias date back to the late 16th century, when the Spanish colonized the region. By 1700, what would become New Mexico had around 60 of these community-managed irrigation ditches. Today, there are more than 700 active acequias in the state, many of them concentrated in Northern New Mexico. The man-made, gravity-fed earthen canals transport snowmelt and river water to fields for flood irrigation. They each have a governing body called a \u201cmayordomo\u201d or \u201cditch boss\u201d and elected commissioners who oversee maintenance, water distribution and conflict resolution. Some areas have seen traditional acequias absorbed into larger water conservancy districts. The Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (MRGCD), for instance, covers a 150-mile stretch of the Rio Grande from Cochiti to Bosque del Apache. Here, MRGCD diverts water from the river to the agency\u2019s irrigation system, which delivers it to acequia headgates, where local groups take over. Most acequias across the state, however, still operate as individual political subdivisions. Dawn Nieto Gouy grew up in Albuquerque\u2019s historic Los Duranes, a neighborhood where acequias such as the Duranes Lateral run alongside homes and agricultural fields. \u201cIt\u2019s in your blood. It\u2019s in your soul,\u201d Nieto Gouy said, describing the cultural significance of these waterways. She recalled playing with her best friend alongside an acequia near her home as a child. \u201cIt was like I would spend almost a lifetime in a day getting from our house to the end, meeting at the acequia, running around barefoot and playing and bathing, doing whatever we did there,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then the days would just run away from us.\u201d Despite their long history and cultural importance, acequias\u2014and the people who depend on them\u2014face an urgent threat from climate change. This year, New Mexico\u2019s snowpack hit historic lows in early spring, dropping to around 20 percent of normal as of April 20. That record-low snow collided with warmer-than-usual temperatures\u2014the state experienced its hottest March in recorded history, surpassing the old record by 4.4 degrees Fahrenheit\u2014to produce this outcome. In Northern New Mexico, water rights holders\u2014known as parciantes\u2014expressed concern that the meager snowpack wouldn\u2019t sustain the many acequias that weave through the region. One Santa Fe New Mexican report described the dire situation in the village of Truchas, where acequias were already running low at the start of the irrigation season. Further south, MRGCD announced in late March that there may not be enough water this year to meet the needs of its 11,000 irrigators, including acequia parciantes. And as of March 27, the Rio Grande showed early signs of drying at the San Acacia reach, an area that typically begins to diminish in early summer. \u201cHistorically, we used to talk about May as being a very early time to see that happen,\u201d said Anne Marken, river operations manager for MRGCD, which oversees irrigation, drainage and river control for around 60,000-70,000 acres of farmland. \u201cLast year it happened in April and we were all very shocked by that, but this year it happened in March.\u201d  Praying for Rain  During times of water scarcity, acequia communities have long relied on sharing practices. Users may be assigned specific days or hours when they can access water, for instance. Similarly, MRGCD utilizes rotating water deliveries within its district\u2014delivering water to different irrigators at different times, depending on availability\u2014and is implementing that management strategy this year. \u201cWater users are strongly encouraged to take water when it is available, future opportunities may be uncertain,\u201d the agency said in a press release. Other than that, water managers and acequia parciantes across the state are praying for rain to help replenish the system and water fields. \u201cThere\u2019s not a ton of tools in our toolbox right now from a water management perspective,\u201d Marken conceded, explaining her department is currently working in a run-of-the-river system, meaning that the only available water is what is in the river. Historically, the state has used El Vado Reservoir on the Rio Chama\u2014a major tributary of the Rio Grande\u2014for spring water storage and released it as needed in the summer, when flows diminish. However, New Mexico is currently prohibited from storing water that would flow in the Rio Grande there due to its water debt to Texas under the Rio Grande Compact. \u201cAnd then also, I don\u2019t think the hydrology would have produced enough water for us to store water for the Middle [Rio Grande] Valley use this year,\u201d Marken added. \u201cSo it\u2019s a little bit of a double whammy.\u201d The state might get a break next year as an El Ni\u00f1o pattern emerges, Tashjian said. Early projections forecast more moisture in the region in the coming months. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get a wetter winter here and maybe more rain and snow,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, the real trick is how we manage through these dry times.\u201d When it comes to long-term solutions for the increasingly frequent and deep droughts, Marken said MRGCD is implementing a \u201crobust\u201d management plan along the Bosque\u2014a riparian woodland ecosystem that runs along the Rio Grande\u2014that will focus on limiting invasive species, which tend to be a greater drain on water resources. Meanwhile, climate change models suggest that more of New Mexico\u2019s future precipitation could come in the form of rain rather than the snow that builds up into a natural reservoir over the winter, which will require a re-think in the way acequias get their water. \u201cI think our infrastructure is currently set up to take advantage of a snowmelt-run system,\u201d Marken said. \u201cAnd so I kind of see the future as us adapting to a rain-driven system, or a system not rain-driven, but a system that receives a larger percentage of its precipitation from rain and not snow.\u201d Colin Baugh, mayordomo of the Pierce Lateral ditch in Los Duranes and a MRGCD board member, suggested that the district explore other creative solutions such as using pump stations to pull groundwater into the system rather than relying on the traditional gravity-fed model that draws surface water from the river. He points to Corrales, a village just north of Albuquerque, that has moved in this direction due to infrastructure failures and severe drought in recent years. Specifically, the Corrales Siphon, a pipe that transported water from the east side of the Rio Grande to the Corrales Main Canal on the west side, failed in 2021. But a new report from the New Mexico Groundwater Alliance estimated that climate change will contribute to a 25% to 30% decline in the state\u2019s groundwater availability by 2050.  Long Live Our Rivers  Baugh also advocates for educating children about acequias and environmental challenges. \u201cIf you get kids talking about Compact water delivery, Bosque management, they\u2019re going home talking to their parents,\u201d he said. \u201cThe parents better understand what they\u2019re doing, and then they can advocate.\u201d The March blessing ceremony at the Atrisco Acequia Madre was also a part of that type of education and advocacy. Just before a free community lunch with locally-sourced pork tacos and posole, a small group of musicians at the Primera Agua celebration faced the water and sang in unison. Many attendees joined in. Despite the challenges ahead, their words reflected hope: \u201cQue vivan las acequias! Que vivan nuestros r\u00edos! Que vivan los parciantes de la comunidad!\u201d (Long live the acequias! Long live our rivers! Long live the farmers of the community!) The song describes how parciantes work together to maintain their community acequias, ending with an affirmation of \u201cagua es vida\u201d\u2014 \u201cwater is life.\u201d \u201cIf this all went away and we didn\u2019t have ceremony, we\u2019d be doomed,\u201d Baugh said of the celebration. \u201cThis tethers us together.\u201d Your comment has been submitted.

Gonzales \u2013 who is running for reelection for the state\u2019s House of Representatives \u2013 has conducted two town hall meetings and said she hopes to visit more communities in District 70, which covers parts of San Miguel and Torrance counties. Gonzales assumed office on Jan. 1, 2025, and her term is set to end Dec. 31, 2026. Her name will appear on the ballot during the Democratic primary on June 2. Gonzales will be running against former Rep. Ambrose Castellano, whom she defeated in 2024. Castellano represented District 70 from 2021-2024. Gonzales said the town hall meetings \u2013 one held in Las Vegas on March 25 and one in Pecos on April 8 \u2013 have served as \u201csession debriefs\u201d following the legislative session, which took place Jan. 20-Feb. 19. She said she hopes to have more community chats in places such as Moriarty, Villanueva and Clementina, although these have not been scheduled as of April 21. Aside from being an opportunity to discuss the recent legislative session, Gonzales said the chats have allowed her to take questions directly from her constituents. \u201cIt\u2019s just a good opportunity to hear community concerns,\u201d Gonzales said of the chats. \u201cI think it\u2019s a chance to inform people of some of the major legislation that passed.\u201d Gonzales has made several gains in legislation affecting education. Gonzales serves as deputy director of the NM MESA \u2013 Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement, a program that prepares young students for higher education and careers in the STEM field. She is also a member of the House Education Committee. She sponsored House Bill 8, Higher Education Major Capital Projects, which created a fund for higher education to complete infrastructure projects. Gonzales said $300 million has been allocated towards this infrastructure goal, with $150 million going to the medical school at the University of New Mexico to help it double its student capacity. HB 8 also allocated $10 million for housing at New Mexico Highlands University, Gonzales said. Community colleges may apply for funding under HB 8, Gonzales said, which would allow Luna Community College to apply for funds for infrastructure projects such as housing. Gonzales also helped sponsor House Bill 100, which appropriates $3 million from the general fund to work with the Public Education Department to build resource hubs across the state to support STEM education. Gonzales also made gains in healthcare during the legislative session, and said that 2026 was a \u201cbig year\u00a0 for a lot of healthcare legislation.\u201d This included House Bill 4, for which she was a sponsor. HB 4 \u2013 the Health Care Affordability Fund Distributions Act \u2013 helps secure funding to lower healthcare costs for New Mexico residents. Also, along with Sen. Pete Campos, Gonzales helped sponsor Senate Bill 193, which doubled the funding for the Acequia and Community Ditch Infrastructure Fund from $2.5 to $5 million per year. \u201cI think it was a productive legislative session,\u201d Gonzales said. \u201cI look forward to continuing to support the residents of District 70.\u201d For more information about the community chats, call 505-946-5670 or email maria.lowe@nmlegis.gov.

        "body": "Deb Haaland has work to do and state Republicans have some major deciding to do. Those are the messages from the first public polling of the '26 gubernatorial primary races released Wednesday.The April 18-19 survey\u00a0conducted by Emerson College for KRQE-TV\u00a0gave a jolt to the political community showing Haaland beating Sam Bregman 40.4% to 23.9% with a large 35.7 percent undecided.\u00a0That 16 point lead for former Sec. of Interior Haaland is down significantly from the 30 point lead (56-26) she had in a poll released by her campaign in February.\u00a0On the Republican side former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull\u00a0came out on top in this first public poll, getting 21 percent support to 10 percent for cannabis executive Duke Rodriguez and 9 per cent for ABQ businessman Doug Turner. But the most important number turned out to be the undecided. A whopping 61 percent of those planning to vote in the GOP primary, including independents, said they had not made up their mind.Emerson provided some of the demographics from the poll for the Dem primary:Deb Haaland holds plurality support, driven by a 24-point advantage among women, leading Bregman 42% to 18% and a 30-point lead among voters with college degrees, leading 53% to 23%. Men break for Haaland by a narrower margin: 38% support Haaland and 31% Bregman, and voters without a college degree are split: 28% support Haaland and 25% Bregman.\u201d Registered Democrats break for Haaland, 48% to 23%, while independent voters participating in the Democratic Primary break for Bregman, 28% to 17%; a majority of independents are undecided (56%).\u00a0Emerson did not release demographic info on the Republican race.\u00a0INDYS OVER SAMPLED?The firm polled 1,000 likely primary voters including 250 independents who for the first time are able to vote in state party primary elections.\u00a0That's 25 percent of the electorate, reflecting their state registration However, their turnout rate for the primary is expected to be much lower--from 5 to 10 percent of the voters, say most analysts we have interviewed. That could explain some of Haaland's weakness in the survey. Bregman does best with men and independent voters, with the possibility that the poll may have over sampled the independent influence.BREGMAN REACT\u00a0Bregman and HaalandStill, Bregman took heart from the survey showing as it did that Haaland was still below the magic 50 percent mark that so often signals a candidate's eventual victory. The BernCo District Attorney's campaign made these points to the blog:\u00a0The Undecided Factor: At 36%, the \"Undecided\" vote is. . .a massive opportunity for Bregman to pull ahead as the June 2nd primary approaches in six weeks.\u00a0The Independent Surge: This is New Mexico\u2019s first semi-open primary. Bregman\u2019s record as Bernalillo County District Attorney resonates strongly with the Independent voters who are expected to decide this election.\u00a0Haaland is Underperforming: Despite years in the national spotlight, Haaland has failed to clear the 50% mark, signaling that Democratic and Independent voters are looking for an alternative.Well, independents will be hard-pressed to \"decide this election\" but despite the hyperbole Bregman did get a life line from the poll and his fund-raising should not take a major hit as a result.\u00a0The Haaland campaign Thursday came with this reaction:The recent poll reinforces what others have already made clear: Haaland has the momentum to win. Across every publicly available poll in this race, Haaland has consistently come out on top by double digit numbers. Meanwhile, Haaland\u2019s opponent fails to gain ground despite campaigning for over a year and spending more than his campaign has raised. . .Deb has led in every poll by double digits and maintains a 5-1 cash advantage. By every metric, this race is over,\u201d said Campaign Manager Dylan McArthur.  PAYNE'S TAKE\u00a0Our longtime blog analyst, former ABQ City Councilor and Santa Fe attorney Greg Payne said last week when Haaland released a campaign finance report that dwarfed Bregman's numbers\u00a0 that it appeared her candidacy was becoming \"a fait accompli.\" We asked him to revisit the campaigns in light of the Emerson survey:I'm a little surprised Deb Haaland isn't at 50 percent. Neither of these campaigns seem to have fired up the Democratic base fully yet. For the amount of money she has spent and to be at only 40 percent would bother me if I were her campaign manager. On the flip side there are still many undecided but I don't seem them breaking Sam Bregman's way. So her candidacy is looking more like \"a quasi-fait-accompli.\"The Republican polling drew less immediate reaction because it appears so wide open and everyone involved is waiting for the three candidates to get their paid media up and running which appears will be a deciding factor in what is shaping up as a close contest for the state's minority party.\u00a0Emerson says of its April 18-19 survey:The sample of New Mexico likely primary voters, n=1,000, has a  credibility interval, similar to a poll\u2019s margin of error (MOE), of +/- 3  percent. The Democratic Primary consists of n=564 likely primary voters  with a credibility interval of +/-4.1%. The Republican Primary consists  of n=436 likely primary voters with a credibility interval of +/-4.7%\u00a0NEW MEXICANS ON ISSUESAlso from Emerson's findings:\u00a0A majority of voters (61%) are undecided. Healthcare and the economy are the top issues foro likely primary voters, at 23% respectively, followed by crime (17%), education (12%), housing affordability (9%), threats to democracy (7%), and immigration (5%).\u00a0JOURNAL POLL SUNDAY\u00a0An unusually early ABQ Journal poll of the June 2 primary election contests hits the streets and the screens this Sunday. It could sway potential donors but because of the early start it will not have the predictive power a mid-May survey would have.\u00a0This April poll is the only one the Journal has planned for the primary.Longtime pollster Brian Sanderoff of Research and Polling says the survey to be released this weekend will cover the contested Democratic statewide races which include governor, land commissioner and secretary of state. He did not say if the results will be rolled out in one day or over several days.\u00a0Results of the polling in the Republican gubernatorial contest will not be released until Sunday, May 3.In 2024 the\u00a0Journal poll of that year's primary election was conducted May13-18 so it included voters who had already cast ballots and fewer undecided voters. It also captured candidate\u00a0momentum heading into the final days of the campaign. This year's April survey comes before any early votes have been cast and also before the heaviest advertising begins.This is the Home of New Mexico Politics\u00a0E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico New poll exposes growing fear among New Mexico voters",
        "body": "A new poll out of New Mexico is doing more than measuring the governor\u2019s race, as we have previously reported. It is exposing a growing sense of unease among voters that could shape the 2026 election in ways campaigns may not be fully accounting for. According to the latest survey from Emerson College Polling and KRQE News 13, one statistic stands out above the rest. Half of likely primary voters say they feel less safe today than they did just one year ago. Only 13% say they feel more safe, while 37% say things have not changed. That shift in perception is not happening in a vacuum. It is showing up in how voters rank their priorities. Healthcare and the economy tied as the top issues at 23% each. Right behind them is crime at 17%, placing it firmly in the top tier of concerns. That ranking, combined with the sharp drop in perceived safety, signals that public safety could become a central issue in the months ahead. Another major flashpoint in the poll is the state\u2019s handling of child welfare. Nearly half of voters, 49%, say they disapprove of how Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is running the Children, Youth and Families Department. Just 18% approve. That gap highlights one of the weakest areas for the current administration in the survey. Voters are not just dissatisfied. Many appear ready for structural change. When asked about a potential constitutional amendment to remove the governor\u2019s authority to appoint the head of CYFD, 46% said they would support it. Only 22% opposed the idea, while nearly a third remain undecided. That level of support for a major change suggests frustration that goes beyond policy disagreements and into questions about accountability. The poll also paints a picture of a politically unsettled electorate. President Donald Trump holds a 37% approval rating among likely primary voters, while 56% disapprove. Gov. Lujan Grisham\u2019s numbers are similarly divided, with 40% approving and 42% disapproving. Neither side appears to have a firm grip on public sentiment, despite New Mexico\u2019s recent history leaning Democratic in statewide races. Looking deeper, the poll shows clear differences in how voters prioritize issues based on party. Democrats list healthcare as their top concern at 29%. Republicans also put healthcare first at 21%. Independents take a different view, ranking the economy as their top issue at 23%, followed by education and healthcare at 15% each. That divide could prove critical in a state where independent voters often play a deciding role. Taken together, the findings suggest that while campaigns focus heavily on candidate matchups, many voters are focused on something more immediate. Safety. Stability. And whether state leadership is effectively handling core responsibilities. Those concerns may ultimately shape the direction of the race more than any single candidate advantage. why would the democrats care what the voters think ?  the voters will vote for them no matter what they do.   NM just refused to allow no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security benefits on state taxes.  Democrat legislature said, NO, YOU PAY US THAT MONEY ITS OURS.    the voters dont care.   just vote democrat.  just stay poor.  just stay stupid.  its not the land of enlightenment, thats for sure. dem party screaming at the top of their lungs about affordability as they do NOTHING but make it worse. Dems wont even pay government employees !  how does that help affordability you idiots ?   Dems laugh at their voters.  they are useful idiots and nothing more. Cesar you nailed it perfectly. That\u2019s exactly why my wife and I both changed our registration from Democrat to Republican about eight years ago! No one is really safe here in NM (especially in Albuquerque) since the police officers hands are tied and really cannot do their job properly and effectively.  They arrest a guy for drugs and the courts turn them back on the streets and tell them to report to court and of course (not a surprise) they do not appear. An arrest warrant is issued and when and if they are arrested again, the courts turns them back on the street and they again do not appear in court.  The courts (far left radicals) are to blame to releasing these criminals. And also tying the hands of ICE to find and deport illegals. So stupid and puts us all in danger.  We need to vote people in office that will change the laws, get rid of so called \u201csanctuary\u201d cities. Arrest and jail (hold) criminals until court date and arrest and deport illegals.  NM is the last of everything including education.  Wake up NM \u201cThe poll also paints a picture of a politically unsettled electorate.\u201d New Mexico has too many people who function within their own little bubbles. It\u2019s all in a closed information life style. Mean while the Democrat party does what it wants in this state. This party is the puppet support for DC. They all do NOTHING for the state of New Mexico! All the working folks around the water coolers need to be talking about local politics and less about stuff on FaceBOOK! thank you oh no, the polls all say that crime is down. you all must be crazy. Although I plan to get out of NM, I am hearten by the comments I see here.  After about fifty years, I think New Mexicans are starting focus on the real problems of their gov\u2019t.  For the midterms, the independent\u2019s chants should be go ahead, be money grubbing bastards; tax tips, tax overtime, tax social security, tax retirement savings, tax my kid\u2019s savings! and piss it all away on idiot green projects without any cost/benefit analysis and no hope of making any significant dent in the problems; Also for 54 years I have watched the criminal revolving doors being provided to drunk drivers.  I have been recently happy to State Police road blocks and checks.  When I first came upon one, I thought what is this backup for.  Then when I got to the front of the line and discovered they checking for drunk drivers and cautioning against impaired driving.  I was very pleased to see it. 40% of New Mexico approve of the governor?  That just backs the idea that our schools need help. You have to be pretty stupid to think our governor is any thing more than a little turd my dog left behind. Nothing changes until we ditch the Democrat-controlled voting machines. If you believe the people are voting for MLG and her crew, I have a toll bridge over the Rio Grande I\u2019ll sell you for cheap. Exactly Latigo! Hence why Toulouse Oliver is fighting giving the voter roll data to the Feds. Something just doesn\u2019t smell right. The Democrats have started to change N.M. into Mexico . Time to vote Republican . Your vote is your voice! Don\u2019t silence your voice by not voting! Republicans who stay home, elect Democrats. If you all want to help, remind every Republican you know to VOTE. Dr. Steve Turley did a video recently that showed Republican voter registration is out pacing Democrat registrations in NM. But that doesn\u2019t mean anything if people don\u2019t vote. It\u2019s like we used to say about the lottery in CA: you have the same chance of winning whether you play or not. Even if you win a race here you lose unless you\u2019re a democrat. Your email address will not be published.

        "body": " A reading by a \u2018special guest author\u2019 and the presentation of a sizable gift will be part of an open house event this weekend at the El Valle Community Center & Library. In honor of National Library Week, which takes place April 19-25 this year, the El Valle Community Center & Library, located at 11 Los Pueblos Road in Villanueva will host an open house Saturday, April 25, from 2-5 p.m. All are welcome to attend and listen as author Jacqueline Aragon reads from her children\u2019s book, \u201cMari Meets Old Man Gloom,\u201d a book that explains the tradition behind Zozobra. There will be refreshments and an opportunity to tour the EVCC, said Patricia Gallegos, founder and honorary board member of the EVCC. The event will also feature a presentation to the EVCC in the amount of $30,000. Awarded by the Masonic Charity Foundation, the funds will be used to make improvements to the EVCC building, Gallegos said. \u201cWe\u2019re raising funds to fix our building,\u201d Gallegos said, noting that an additional $30,000 was received from the Anchorum Community Health Fund for that\u00a0 purpose. Saturday\u2019s open house is meant, in part, to mark National Library Week, an effort sponsored by the American Libraries Association that aims to highlight the role libraries play in their community. At the EVCC, Villanueva has a children\u2019s library as well as an adult library that features fiction, nonfiction and Southwest history, Gallegos said. There is hope that the open house will also raise awareness about the EVCC and the efforts its board members have made to help it grow, Gallegos said. The EVCC \u201cserves as a vital hub for food distribution, library and internet access, educational programming, and community activities for residents of the historic San Miguel del Bado Land Grant communities in rural San Miguel County,\u201d Gallegos said via a press release. \u201cThe renovation project will address urgent infrastructure needs, including roof replacement and building system upgrades.\u201d The EVCC started in the 1990s, when Gallegos had the idea to turn an old West Las Vegas elementary school building into a community center. The project was part of the thesis she had to complete to earn her master\u2019s degree in social work at New Mexico Highlands University, which she did in 1995. Gallegos attended a West Las Vegas school board meeting, where she requested and was given the school building. She went on to propose the idea for the community center to the Con Alma Health Foundation and, along with its help and the help of other funding entities, work was done to improve the building. The community center opened in 1998, the same year it achieved nonprofit status, Gallegos said. It is now a site for food distribution, back-to-school giveaways, a tiendita, yoga classes and holiday programs such as a gift giveaway for Christmas and, more recently, free Easter eggs for children, Gallegos said. The building can be rented for community events such as graduation celebrations and birthday parties, she said. There are plans to open a community greenhouse in the near future, Gallegos said. The library that is part of the community center opened in 2009, Gallegos said. In 2017, the library became an official state library, making it eligible for state resources. \u201cRight now, it\u2019s beautiful,\u201d Gallegos said of the community center. \u201cBut we need some more long-term changes to the building.\u201d Gallegos thanked several people for their work at the EVCC, including librarian Joann Martinez, EVCC board president Geri Madrid and treasurer Katherine Bueler.

        "title": "City Schools shifts to  four-day school week schedule",
        "body": " Fridays will be off for Las Vegas City Schools students and staff next school year, following a vote by the district\u2019s Board of Education during a meeting on March 26. LVCS Superintendent Melissa Sandoval said the decision was made as an effort to keep more students and staff at school. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to appeal to families to bring students back to Robertson High School (and) the rest of our schools,\u201d Sandoval said during a telephone interview with The Optic on April 16. In an email statement to The Optic received April 17, West Las Vegas School District Superintendent Christopher Gutierrez said his district will remain on its regular, five-day school week. There are currently 178 days in the school year, Sandoval said. The new LVCS school calendar \u2013 to take effect when the 2026-2027 school year begins on Aug. 6 \u2013 will have 156 days. The calendar for school teachers will be 166 days, which includes professional development days, Sandoval said. While Fridays will be eliminated, the other school days will be lengthened, Sandoval said. School will continue to start at 7:50 a.m. for all district students, Sandoval said. However, the day will end at 3:45 p.m. for elementary school students; they are currently released at 3 p.m. Kindergarten is included with elementary school, Sandoval said, and will follow the same schedule. Days will end at 4 p.m. for middle and high school students, who are currently released from school at 3:15 p.m., Sandoval said. When a Monday is off, such as the case with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, then Friday will be added to that week, Sandoval said. Sandoval said there is hope that the shorter school week will lead to more students in their seats and more staff members present by providing more flexibility for all. She noted that the district has a 69 percent regular attendance rate, which is low. LVCS has also experienced a loss of enrollment in the past decade, Sandoval said. There has been a 35 percent drop in enrollment \u2013 which translates to a loss of about 700 students \u2013 over the past 10 years, she said. Sandoval said that even when accounting for smaller families and people moving away, the loss of students is significant. There is also a low number of substitute teachers who can provide adequate coverage when an instructor must be absent, Sandoval said. She said that, with Fridays off, staff and teachers will have an extra day to conduct their business, which will hopefully lead to a decrease in teachers being absent and the need for substitutes. The district has also implemented help for parents and guardians who may be at work when students are out of school. The district has partnered with Healthy Kids, a nationwide initiative to provide after school support until 6 p.m. on school days, and from 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Fridays, Sandoval said. Healthy Kids will provide indoor and outdoor activities for students, including physical education, arts and crafts and homework assistance, Sandoval said. She said the assistance from Health Kids comes at no cost to the district, as it is part of the free universal childcare initiative signed into law by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham last month. The district already had federal funds available for an after school program, which will now be used to hire a districtwide librarian, Sandoval said. Sandoval expressed optimism for the hiring of a librarian, which she said is something LVCS students have been requesting. She also said she is looking forward to the new four-day schedule. \u201cWe\u2019re excited for this change,\u201d Sandoval said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to yield a positive impact.\u201d Your comment has been submitted.

        "title": "SMCDC corrections officer, three others charged in alleged drug scheme",
        "body": "Officers discovered nearly 900 fentanyl pills and over $66,000 in cash as a result of this investigation.  Officers discovered nearly 900 fentanyl pills and over $66,000 in cash as a result of this investigation. A San Miguel County Detention Center corrections officer and three others have been charged with multiple felony counts after being accused of plotting to sneak illegal narcotics into the jail. Prosecutors charged 21-year-old corrections officer Francisco Diego Baca with felony charges after alleging he agreed to help bring drugs into SMCDC. Three other people \u2014 29-year-old Richard D. Conway, 30-year-old Tracy A. Herrera and 29-year-old Soledad Flores \u2014 face charges for their alleged involvement in transporting drugs to the facility where Conway is incarcerated while awaiting trial on drug-trafficking charges in a case filed in March. The Fourth Judicial District Attorney\u2019s Office began an investigation on April 18 after listening to jail phone calls between Conway and Herrera, according to an affidavit filed in San Miguel Magistrate Court. In the phone calls, Conway and Herrera discussed a plan to leave a package containing 300 strips of the prescription opioid Suboxone inside a car at the jail, and to then have Baca bring the drugs into the jail. In one call, according to the affidavit, Conway and Herrera discussed leaving a recently purchased BMW parked at SMCDC, and leaving the vehicle unlocked while parked there. During the investigation, one of Baca\u2019s fellow corrections officers told investigators with the DA\u2019s office that Baca was involved in the alleged scheme, and he was detained for questioning. Baca told investigators that Conway had offered him $10,000 to help bring Suboxone into the jail but when he declined, Conway raised the offer to $20,000. Baca allegedly told him \u201cmaybe,\u201d according to the affidavit, and Conway again raised the price, this time to $22,000. Baca agreed. However, when Baca went to the parking lot at the agreed upon time, he said the car was not there. That\u2019s because investigators had already intercepted the BMW, and according to the affidavit, they\u2019d watched Flores drive the car to the San Miguel Detention Center around 3 p.m. on April 19, park it there, and then get into a pickup driven by Herrera. After obtaining a warrant to search the BMW, officers and deputies with the Las Vegas Police Department and the San Miguel County Sheriff\u2019s Office searched the car and located 259 Suboxone strips hidden inside a sealed bag of candy, along with $25,300 in cash, the affidavit stated. The San Miguel County Sheriff\u2019s Office later pulled over and detained Herrera, according to the affidavit. Flores was detained at a motel and admitted to driving the car to SMCDC, but said she did not know what was inside. She told investigators that Herrera had purchased the vehicle the day before. Further searches conducted uncovered even more evidence, according to a release from the San Miguel County Sheriff\u2019s Office. In total, the following was discovered:  \u202211.81 grams of suspected methamphetamine \u2022 899 suspected fentanyl pills \u2022 9.09 grams of suspected cocaine \u2022 299 suboxone films and 7 suboxone pills \u2022 10 hydrocodone pills \u2022 $66,402 in cash  Baca is charged with felony counts of conspiracy to commit distribution of a controlled substance and conspiracy to commit bringing contraband into jail. During an April 20 hearing, Judge Christian Monta\u00f1o released him ahead of trial on an unsecured $10,000 bond. Conway faces felony counts of conspiracy to commit distribution of a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit bringing contraband into jail and criminal solicitation to commit bringing contraband into jail. As of this writing, Conway remained incarcerated at SMCDC on charges in the other cases. Herrera is charged with felony counts of bringing contraband into jail and conspiracy to commit distribution of a controlled substance. During an April 20 hearing, Judge Monta\u00f1o set an unsecured $10,000 bond for Herrera and ordered her to house arrest. Flores is charged with felony counts of distribution of a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit distribution of a controlled substance and conspiracy to commit bringing contraband into jail. During an April 20 hearing, Judge Monta\u00f1o set an unsecured $10,000 bond for Flores and ordered her to house arrest. A preliminary hearing in Baca\u2019s case is scheduled for May 21. Preliminary hearings in the cases for Conway, Herrera and Flores are scheduled for May 26. Your comment has been submitted.  Reported There was a problem reporting this.  Qu\u00e9 ag\u00fcite.

        "body": "Sam Bregman got a shot of momentum when the campaign of Deb Haaland stumbled after\u00a0posting information about the locations of four homes owned by the BernCo District Attorney. Now he's trying to keep it going with his harshest attack yet on the front-runner for the '26 Democratic gubernatorial nomination.\u00a0Bregman's\u00a0new TV ad\u00a0throws the proverbial kitchen sink at Haaland, featuring a series of mostly women voters posing negative questions of her:\u00a0Why is Deb Haaland attacking Sam Bregman? Because she doesn't have detailed plans to run on? Or is it because Deb Haaland doesn't want you to know that she flew on Jeffrey Epstein's charter jet? Or that Deb Haaland failed to act on sexual abuse at a school she managed at Interior. Maybe that's why she won't even debate Sam. I'm Sam Bregman. The people deserve more than attack ads. Deb, let's debate.\u00a0Haaland was the first Native American Secretary of Interior and this is Bregman's first volley over her tenure as a Biden cabinet secretary.\u00a0The allegation that she \"failed to act\"on sexual abuse at a school refers to allegations of mismanagement and cover ups regarding misconduct at Haskell Indian Nations University\u00a0in Lawrence, Kansas.\u00a0It is Bregman's attempt to chip away at what Haaland considers one of her major accomplishments at Interior--the establishment of a Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative to investigate historical abuses.Bregman's ramped up attacks on Haaland come with absentee ballots set to be mailed in less than two weeks--May 5--and with polling that has showed him lagging Haaland. His landslide defeat at the Dem party preprimary convention also slowed him.\u00a0Bregman has turned out to be more a threat than the Haaland camp expected, raising enough money to compete for attention, hiring top gun consultants and putting to use his experience as a veteran campaigner who has lost most of his previous races.\u00a0Gone for the most part in Bregman's ads is the black cowboy hat he constantly sported in his early appearances. Bregman, 63, a noted trial lawyer before becoming DA, now appears more sober and lawyerly as he faces the toughest case of his lengthy career.\u00a0DOW'S WINIn Republican action, state Rep. Rebecca Dow was placed\u00a0back on the June primary ballot by the NM Supreme Court Tuesday. The Dems were poised to take the rural southern District 38 seat\u00a0after she was kicked off. Now the Republicans are set to keep it in their column. The Democrats have only a write-in candidate.\u00a0Watching the mega-celebration on social media of Dow's court win was a bit odd, but given the state of New Mexico Republicans holding on to the little you have is a reason to party. As for Dow, she is a valuable member of the small minority House caucus and provides thoughtful opposition to the Dems. The court fight tested her mettle.\u00a0\u00a0DUKE DOINGSRodriguez Facebook adDuke Rodriguez has roused state Democrats. They come with this hit on the GOP governor candidate's lawsuit over the state's universal child care program:Arizona\u2019s Duke Rodriguez Tries to Take Away Universal Childcare RPNM gubernatorial field maintains GOP\u2019s universal opposition to  universal childcare\u00a0Arizona\u2019s Duke Rodriguez recently  filed a lawsuit to take  away universal childcare from New Mexicans. This blatant attention grab  from the \u201cDuke of Scottsdale\"\u00a0Rodriguez, who is known to voters for  being from Arizona, being sued by other Republicans, and an embarrassing  loss at RPNM\u2019s pre-primary convention, comes just weeks before voting  starts in the primary election.                                                                                           \u00a0Rodriguez has won several lawsuits challenging his New Mexico residency and continues to court both Republicans and independents who for the first time this year are allowed to vote in party primaries.His appeal to Hispanics leaps from the page and may be one reason the Democrats are taking time to attack him even before the primary is over. Rodriguez says:\u00a0The  Democrats have taken the Hispanic vote for granted for decades. Not  anymore. I'm running \u2014 and winning--on common sense, conservative  values that New Mexico families actually believe in.Rodriguez may not have lived her consistently in recent years but he grew up in Silver City and his Hispanic heritage is critical to his electoral success. No Anglo has been elected Governor since Gary Johnson won re-election in 1998. Johnson has endorsed Rodriguez.The \"Duke of Scottsdale,\" the nickname awarded him by New Mexican columnist Milan Simonich, must still survive expected attacks from Doug Turner and Greg Hull over his residency, his ethics as well as his numerous campaign contributions to Democrats. Will those attacks immediately collapse his candidacy or will the Duke become the king of the GOP?\u00a0Stay tuned to this space. . .\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics\u00a0E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "New Mexico to impose new federal food aid document requirements to reduce errors",
        "body": " The New Mexico Health Care Authority will soon impose additional requirements on federal food assistance recipients, part of an effort to bring down the state\u2019s high rate of errors and thereby avoid huge financial penalties established in the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act.\u201d Beginning May 1, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients will be required to provide documentation regarding costs for housing, utilities and dependents to receive SNAP benefits. Those costs factor into how much in monthly food benefits recipients receive. In addition to ensuring that recipients receive the correct benefit amount, according to a Thursday announcement from the HCA, implementing more documentation requirements will bring down the state\u2019s high rate of SNAP administration errors. The \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act\u201d President Donald Trump signed last year threatens stiff penalties for states with high rates of SNAP over- or underpayment to recipients. New Mexico\u2019s error rate is 14.6%, according to recent estimates from the federal Agriculture Department, which is among the nation\u2019s highest. If the state does not bring down its error rate significantly, it could be required to pay for a portion of the total SNAP benefits it receives from the federal government, which otherwise fully funds SNAP benefits.\u00a0Failure to bring the rate below 6%\u00a0could mean New Mexico is required to come up with $153 million. New Mexico has the\u00a0nation\u2019s highest\u00a0SNAP participation rate. More than one in five New Mexicans receive federal food assistance. Tim Fowler, an HCA spokesperson, told Source NM in an email Friday that the HCA does not have an estimate of how much the new documentation requirements will bring down the error rate. \u201cHowever, this is key to ensuring accurate case determination, which will improve our overall accuracy rates,\u201d he said. \u201cOur team will regularly assess how this new process improves compliance levels.\u201d State officials have previously attributed the state\u2019s high rate of miscalculations to staffing and technological issues. The state also waived multiple documentation requirements at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which officials said resulted in more errors. New documentation requirements include rental or mortgage statements, utility bills or letters from childcare providers showing monthly costs. The authority will also accept sworn statements in certain circumstances, and the HCA officials said caseworkers can assist households in obtaining the required records. \u201cWhen families provide complete information about their expenses, we can make sure their benefit amount is calculated correctly,\u201d said Acting HCA Deputy Secretary Niki Kozlowski in a statement. \u201cWithout verification, those expenses may not be counted, which could result in lower SNAP benefits than a family actually qualifies for.\u201d Authority officials noted that the new requirement won\u2019t immediately disrupt benefits for current SNAP recipients. Beginning next month, SNAP recipients will be asked to provide the records the next time they renew their benefits, according to the HCA. \u201cOur priority is to provide benefits to eligible New Mexicans,\u201d Fowler said, \u201cas we continue evaluating the fiscal and operational effects of this change.\u201d This post first appeared at sourcenm.com Your comment has been submitted.

        "title": "Parsing The Haaland Cash Haul; Her Big Early Spending Draws Scrutiny From Rivals; Fiscally Reckless Or Sound Strategy? Consultants And AI Parse 13,000 Page Report; Find That Nearly Half Of Money Raised Is Actually Spent To Raise It ",
        "body": "It's common for a candidate to take heat when their fund-raising comes up short but this year there's a switch. The candidate who has raised the most is being questioned over the huge amount she has already spent.\u00a0\u00a0Dem Guv hopeful  Deb Haaland's historic $11.1 million take with seven months still to go in the cycle is a stunner, but so is the reveal that she has already gone through over half that cash.\u00a0In her finance report released last week Haaland reports expenditures as of April 6 of $6.713 million and cash on hand of $4.366 million.In the October-April period she raised $4.075 million and spent $2.610 million.\u00a0So where did the money go? There was no high dollar TV campaign or radio ads during that time. Her foes argue the big spend shows she is fiscally reckless and will be the same as Governor. The political pros are more cautious. They say the cost of raising money has ballooned and that for each dollar raised nearly half of that dollar may be spent to raise it which is the case for Haaland.\u00a0We had consultants and AI help us parse the tremendous amount of data in Haaland's 13,000 page report\u00a0 for that October-April period and found that 47 percent of the cash she collected went to fund-raising.\u00a0With the standard warning that AI can make mistakes but is usually strong with data, here are the details:The vast majority of the campaign's overhead is geared toward maintaining its massive small-dollar donor engine.\u00a0--Digital fund-raising and list acquisition cost of $1,145,000. This is the largest single category of spending. Haaland\u2019s campaign relies on a high volume of low-dollar donations (she says the over all donor average is $35). To keep this engine running, they spent heavily on digital ads. About $820,000 went to digital firms for acquisition ads designed to find new donors.\u00a0Email & SMS Strategy: Approximately $325,000 was paid to consulting firms to manage the high-frequency email and text message program that drives the bulk of the $4 million.\u00a0--Because the campaign is grassroots-funded, it pays a significant amount in transaction taxes. The report shows roughly $161,000 paid to ActBlue. This is the standard 3.95% fee on credit card contributions. Essentially, for every $1 million raised online, $39,500 never actually reaches the campaign's bank account.\u00a0\u00a0--Direct Mail & Tele-Fundraising $412,000. Despite the digital focus, the campaign invested heavily in traditional outreach to reach older voters and rural donors.--Printing & Postage: $285,000 for high-gloss mailers focused on fundraising appeals. Call Centers: $127,000 for donor maintenance and tele-town hall fundraising events.\u00a0Fundraising Staff & Travel:$218,000.Of the $4,075,653 Haaland raised in October to April, AI estimates the direct cost to raise it was $1,939,280. That's approximately 47 cents to raise every $1.00 in the six month period.\u00a0THE BOTTOM LINES\u00a0Haaland has raised massive amounts of campaign funds and spent prodigious amounts to ensure a donor base not only for the primary but one that is ready to give for the general election--should she defeat Sam Bregman June 2.While a 47% \"cost to raise\" is high, it is considered healthy for a grassroots operation. By spending this money now, the campaign has built a massive database estimated by AI at over 39,000 donors. They can return to them for free in the final months without having to pay for new ads.This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.\u00a0E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico Court clash erupts as feds push Toulouse Oliver for voter rolls she\u2019s hiding",
        "body": "A legal battle over voter data is intensifying in New Mexico, with the U.S. Department of Justice pressing forward in its effort to obtain the state\u2019s voter registration records\u2014while state officials continue to resist, citing privacy concerns and state law. The dispute played out Tuesday in federal court in Albuquerque, where attorneys for the federal government argued that access to voter registration data is necessary to ensure compliance with federal election laws. The DOJ has filed lawsuits against New Mexico and roughly 29 other states seeking unredacted voter lists, including identifying information such as partial Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and driver\u2019s license data. Representing the DOJ, attorney James Thomas Tucker described the effort as part of a broader federal responsibility to oversee election integrity. \u201cIt\u2019s a trust but verify approach,\u201d Tucker told the court, adding that the federal government is seeking to better understand how states maintain voter rolls\u2014particularly in areas such as duplicate registrations and list maintenance, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Federal officials have pointed to multiple laws\u2014including the Civil Rights Act of 1960\u2014as granting authority to request and review election-related records. The DOJ maintains that such oversight is essential to ensuring accurate voter rolls and maintaining public confidence in elections. But New Mexico officials, led by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, have refused to provide the requested data in full. The state argues that releasing certain personal identifiers would violate New Mexico law, which requires redactions before voter records are made public. \u201cThis is not authorized by any law, and would cause the Secretary of State to violate the law,\u201d said attorney Anjana Samant during the hearing. That position, however, is being challenged by federal attorneys, who argue that federal law supersedes conflicting state statutes when it comes to election oversight. The standoff has also drawn increased political attention. As previously reported by Pi\u00f1on Post, Toulouse Oliver has publicly highlighted the lawsuit in campaign messaging tied to her bid for lieutenant governor\u2014framing the case as a fight to protect voter privacy while simultaneously asking supporters to back her campaign. Critics have questioned whether the legal battle is being used, at least in part, as a political tool. They argue that federal requests for voter data are not unprecedented and are part of longstanding oversight mechanisms intended to ensure compliance with national election standards. Meanwhile, far-left advocacy groups opposing the DOJ\u2019s request warned the court that releasing such data could discourage voter participation. Attorney William Hughes said the request \u201chas a real chilling effect on voters,\u201d arguing that individuals may be less likely to register if they believe their personal information could be widely shared. That\u2019s an interesting take, since the very sensitive information that is provided was literally given to them by the federal government, such as a social security number. Others raised panicky concerns about how the data might ultimately be used, though federal officials have stated it would be utilized strictly for election-related oversight. Judge Judith Herrera did not issue a ruling following Tuesday\u2019s hearing, but pressed both sides on key legal questions\u2014including whether the DOJ had sufficiently outlined the purpose of its request, as required under federal law. The case is part of a broader national fight, with courts in several states already dismissing similar lawsuits. Still, the outcome in New Mexico could carry significant implications for the balance between federal oversight and state control of elections. That Saggy Tooloose Oliver is one fat slob.  Her vehicle should have an oversize load designation and placarded as a Visual Hazard Do Not View.  Nice glasses there too Saggy.  They do not help what is already a disturbing eyesore to view. \u201cdo not view\u201d     thats priceless.   ill take that advice. She is Michelle\u2019s chronie \u2013  MLG gave her that 80 thousand dollar yearly pay raise to run cover and protect the dem party.   she is earning her money.   we dont need no stinking oversight in NM.   we like it crooked. Viva La Revolution.  Corruption forever Ese. \u201cCrony\u201d She is guilty of something or she would turn over the info the feds asked for.  She is hiding her vile record showing so many errors and shielding those who shouldn\u2019t be voting.  Fed law over rides st \u2018law\u2019. Yes they do not purge the files. I\u2019ve seen it. The Democrats are hiding something. She needs to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! A problem person wearing problem glasses. She has been fooling with voting in NM for many years. She is one of the architects of how they \u201cwin\u201d whether they do or not. Remember that she\u2019s good buddies with the AX governor. *AZ not AX Its plain as day that New Mexico is corrupt..who was it that made those New Mexico laws  in affect  saying  the feds need more then a request  ..Democrats  right Voting should not be seen as an unconditional right for anyone and everyone. Voting is a serious responsibility. And making sure that only eligible citizens are voting is part of the Secretary of State\u2019s job. What she wants to keep hidden is the number of ineligible voters, including illegal aliens, whose votes are influencing NM elections and helping the Democrats. She\u2019s one of Loserjan\u2019s appointees who won\u2019t be honest nor comply! She and Loserjan can share a jail cell! I read Harmeet Dillon, DOJ Civil Rights Atty, has so far found over 350,000!  dead voters on current voter rolls from over 20 states that have complied with the DOJ request.  The 29 states refusing to comply, including NM, definitely have something to hide.  My guess is NM has dead voters, illegals, duplicate names, fake addresses, etc.   Can\u2019t wait to hear how this plays out.  We may actually get a Republican Governor in November if voter integrity is upheld. the problem in NM is we have more BRAIN DEAD voters than dead voters.   you can spot them at the NO KINGS rallies and other nonsensical events.   they are everywhere in NM. Transparency will not be found on a mission statement by the Democratic Party. If you have nothing to hide let DOJ see how you manage our voter integrity system\u2026sic Just shows the Dems have something to hide and want to cheat by allowing non citizens to vote.  That is how they win elections.  Federal law supercedes State laws.  Vote for change in the Secretary of State\u2019s office.  Vote for Ramona Goolsby. If or when the voter rolls are submitted to the Feds\u2014-WHO purges the illegal aliens and others off the registered voter rolls? She was crooked as a city official, she\u2019s Queen Michelle\u2019s buddy so as far as I am concerned that makes her criminal by association. What is she hiding the choices are many. Yep let\u2019s keep it simple Lock this  Witch Up!! She\u2019s fat and ugly her glasses make her a nerd her husband must be blind and her kids too she has a ugly husband and kids there family photos a negatives She\u2019s fat and ugly her glasses make her a nerd her husband must be blind and her kids too she has a ugly husband and kids there family photos a negatives The Albuquerque Journal reported that over 10% of the state\u2019s workforce are illegal aliens, and they have drivers\u2019 licenses. Toulouse created a special form used by NGO\u2019s to register voters who don\u2019t have an SSN, permitting the \u2018full drivers license number\u2019 instead. So, you can see why NM doesn\u2019t want their voter roll database made available for examination! That, and a massive permanent database for mailing unrequested absentee ballots for NGO\u2019s to harvest . . . leonard daneman has very concisely summed up the principal reasons this state has not only maintained an overwhelming Democrat plurality in state reps, state senators, state judges, mayors  and councilpeeps but is  headed toward a supermajority. It is the database, absentee balloting,and illegal voters that are keeping these power hungry, untalented, low energy maladroits in office. So outrageous. When I was a city council candidate and later , I bought voter registration records from the Dona Ana County Clerk\u2019s office in Microsoft Excel format. I think the cost was $15. There were thousands of records, and the records had dozens of fields of public information about each voter, such as address, party affiliation, voting frequency, legislative district, etc. I hear they also sell the records to special interest groups. Are we citizens to believe we are not entitled to know who is voting in our elections? By the way, in 2018 the clerk\u2019s office sent out 60,500 actual mail ballots for a Las Cruces city bond issue election, and 8,656 came back undeliverable. Regarding those that were delivered, one Facebook user said she got a dozen ballots. They have stonewalled my efforts to find out if their records are still this bad.

        "title": "  New Mexico Democrat effort to boot Dow backfires in unanimous court ruling",
        "body": "In a decisive and unanimous ruling, the New Mexico Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision and ordered that Republican state Rep. Rebecca Dow be placed back on the ballot\u2014delivering a major legal victory after an aggressive challenge from her former Democrat opponent. The case stemmed from a lawsuit filed by former state Rep. Tara Jaramillo, who sought to disqualify Dow over the format of her nominating petition filings. Dow had submitted printed screenshots from a New Mexico Secretary of State portal, which included voter names and unique voter identification numbers\u2014information that is verifiable and accessible through the state\u2019s system. Before filing, Dow contacted both the Secretary of State\u2019s office and the Sierra County Clerk to confirm the method was acceptable. According to testimony and arguments before the court, both affirmed the process was valid. Despite that, a district court ruled in favor of Jaramillo and ordered Dow removed from the ballot, citing technical concerns over the format of the petitions. Dow appealed the decision to the state\u2019s highest court, setting up a high-stakes legal battle with implications for ballot access statewide. During oral arguments, the justices sharply questioned Daymon Ely, the attorney representing Jaramillo, particularly over the distinction between substance and technical compliance. Justice C. Shannon Bacon pressed Ely directly, asking, \u201cIs it filed in the sense that it was filed for the purposes of the declaration?\u201d \u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d Ely responded. \u201cIt is to verify if there is a registered voter.\u201d That argument was quickly challenged by Justice David K. Thomson, who pushed back forcefully, citing prior case law. \u201cI disagree,\u201d Thomson said, referencing precedent and engaging in a notably combative exchange with Ely during the hearing. Attorneys representing both the Secretary of State and the Democratic Party ultimately acknowledged that the information Dow submitted was accurate and verifiable. Because the data originated from the official Secretary of State portal, any voter could independently confirm the signatures and associated voter identification numbers. Dow\u2019s attorney, Carter Harrison, emphasized that the system itself prevents duplicate signatures and that Dow had submitted printed records directly generated from the state\u2019s system\u2014not altered or fabricated documents. He argued the challenge was not about the validity of signatures, but rather about technical semantics. The court also raised broader concerns about how the dispute arose in the first place. Justices including Michael E. Vigil and Thomson noted that the restrictions cited against Dow were not clearly outlined in statute but instead stemmed from administrative practices within the Secretary of State\u2019s office\u2014rules that were not adopted through a formal rule-making process subject to public input or legal challenge. That distinction appeared to weigh heavily in the court\u2019s decision. \u201cIf there is a close question here, democracy should prevail,\u201d concluded Harrison, as arguments ended. In announcing the ruling from the bench, Chief Justice Julie J. Vargas made the outcome clear: \u201cThe court has come to an agreement, and it is unanimous in its outcome. The district court is reversed, the Secretary of State is directed to put Rep. Dow\u2019s name on the ballot.\u201d The court expedited its announcement due to the time-sensitive nature of election deadlines. The ruling restores Dow\u2019s candidacy and resolves what had become a closely watched legal battle over ballot access, election law interpretation, and the role of administrative rules versus statutory requirements. The case also underscores the high stakes surrounding control of the New Mexico Legislature, where Democrats remain just a few seats away from a supermajority. Critics of the challenge argued that attempts to remove candidates over technicalities risk undermining voter choice and shifting electoral outcomes through the courts rather than at the ballot box. The New Mexico House Republicans responded to the news via X, writing, \u201cThe Supreme Court has restored Rep. Rebecca Dow to the GOP primary ballot. The result is simple: thousands of voters now have their voice and their choice back in this race.\u201d \u201cNew Mexico Democrats\u2019 attempt to remove a candidate over failures in the state\u2019s own system has been rejected. Their push to sideline voters and cement control has failed. Now the decision goes back where it belongs, to the voters.\u201d The Supreme Court has restored Rep. Rebecca Dow to the GOP primary ballot.The result is simple: thousands of voters now have their voice and their choice back in this race.New Mexico Democrats\u2019 attempt to remove a candidate over failures in the state\u2019s own system has been\u2026 pic.twitter.com/SZPO9mAct4 With the Supreme Court\u2019s decision now final, Dow will appear on the ballot\u2014leaving the ultimate decision with the voters. State Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) wrote following the news, \u201cThey tried to rig the field. The court crushed it, unanimously. Rebecca Dow is back on the ballot! The people, not a disgruntled ex-candidate or political games, get to choose.\u201d New Mexico Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Barela reacted to the news, writing via social media, \u201cThe New Mexico Supreme Court\u2019s unanimous decision to place Rebecca Dow back on the ballot is a victory for fairness, election integrity, and the rule of law. After the partisan ruling from the Do\u00f1a Ana County judge, the Supreme Court recognized the truth: the system is flawed, and the signatures collected were valid from the start because they were gathered in accordance with the process as it currently exists.\u201d She concluded, \u201cThis decision is a win for every candidate and every voter who believes elections should be conducted fairly and consistently. It also shines a light on the serious need to correct these flawed processes that the Secretary of State has failed to address. Now let\u2019s go turn New Mexico RED!\u201d This is a developing story. Reactions to this news are still pouring in\u2026 Lucky. But\u2026how much time and money did it cost you? Thank goodness for irrated Democrats\u2026 without them we wouldn\u2019t have fair elections\u2026lol\u2026 oh snap I just made a massively funny joke! Question tho\u2026 how much money and time was spent by Rep. Dow and is anyone thinking of recouping that loss?  You cannot replace the time lost on the campaign trail\u2026 so how about consideration for unjust lawmakers by the DNC of New Mexico? Im thinking bankrupt them. Like 40 billion dollars\u2026not pesos. USA Dollars. 40 with a B\u2026 not an M\u2026 billion like $40,000,000,000.00. Talk about voter suppression!  The democrat wanted to completely remove a candidate from the ballot to!!! This demonstrates their true agenda \u2013 a one party communist state! Of course the leftist supreme court was smart enough to keep the appearance of having legitimate elections \u2013 they know how the votes are counted and who is going to win. Exactly, why draw attention, when they are ruling on a race that will not shift the balance of power. Plus, they would be establishing precedent that numerically would be more likely to be used against democratic candidates in the future. Dow followed the procedures listed on the NM website to file her paperwork .   they accepted it.   if it was wrong, it should have been addressed right then.  it wasnt.    thats twice the NM supreme court has surprised me with their rulings.   Good for them   Good for us. You nailed it Cesar! Much harm has been delivered to NM by Democrats over many decades; and they own 99.9% of it. That said, some here have to cast EVERY decision in a partisan light, rather than accepting that the NM Supreme Court correctly upheld law and restored order to the election process. Nothing nefarious at all. In fact, there was no other alternative. The far bigger issue is the quality of candidates advanced by the r(small r)epublican party (because the true Republican party has been highjacked and destroyed by the current administration. Consider why NM is so deeply mired in the Democrat mold. a) First we have institutional and generational mindsets that supersede critical thinking. Essentially: \u2018the last four generations of my family have voted Democrat, so I will vote Democrat\u2019. No thinking, no understanding, just voting on autopilot. Additionally, these same voters swallow all the promises Democrats have made for decades; promises that never are fulfilled, and these voters never ask why that is nor understand they are pawns and useful idiots. b) Then there are the republicans who cannot find (and demonstrably DON\u2019T want) a quality MODERATE candidate that could find bipartisan support and actually win election. So, the party continues to prop up far-right candidates in the mold of the current national embarrassment. Surely, a smart party would understand that extremists NEVER will stand a chance in our state (and also, surely, the party does understand that), but they continue to find these unacceptable people and go on, every election cycle to lose. That\u2019s not leadership; that is abject stupidity. It appears the republicans don\u2019t actually want to win, they just want to lose and complain to their base that their (sub)marginal quality candidates somehow were cheated out of winning. They groom their own version of \u2018useful idiots\u2019. Clearly, the republican party in NM is NOT interested in moderate candidates who actually would stand a chance of success. By failing to have moderate candidates, the republican party is handing EVERY election to the Democrats. (r)epublicans WANT to lose; otherwise they would do something about the people they front. It is appropriate here to quote Hanlon\u2019s Razor: \u201cNever attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity\u201d. That describes the NM republican party to a tee (but Democrats also repeatedly demonstrate their own embracement of this method ). The end result? NM is perpetually screwed by both the Democrat and republican parties, and both are completely happy with how they each achieve their \u2018goals\u2019. GREAT I\u2019M GLAD THE JUDGES STEP IN I think that God did it, if you know ..you know Don\u2019t kid yourselves\u2026. This \u201cdecision\u201d is not rooted in \u201cdemocratic equal rights protection\u201d \u2014 they are trapped !!! \u2014 ALL of them on the courts and the people running the DemoRat Party. Trump is inbound \u2026New Mexico is in his cross-hairs after dealing with all other states except California. These people rendered their \u201csurprise\u201d decision because they have individually been targeted for massive corruption by the current FBI Director Kash Patel and the US Department of Justice. You will likely find two or more who are the \u201csubjects\u201d of Federal Grand Jury SEALED indictments that the US Marines and US Military J.A.G. corps will be itching to open and make arrests \u2014 I hear Guantanamo Bay is a relative paradise for criminals this time of year. All ya\u2019 all have a nice day now, ya\u2019 hear. \u2026.lol Sore loser filed the case. If they ruled against Dow, up to fed court. Another Demon-crat tried to bully Dow but justice prevailed. Could  be that  grassroots common sense patriots prevailed. I congratulate Rebecca Dow and her attorney Carter Harrison for the victory as well as her constituents. The cheating is starting early. Tara Jaramillo, who lost to Rebecca Dow in the last election,  is just a poor loser and was attempting to invalidate a candidate of the opposing party to rig the election\u2026\u2026as is usual for the NM Socialist party aka Democrat party Your email address will not be published.

        "body": "Duke RodriguezDuke Rodriguez\u00a0is hedging his bets.\u00a0The GOP gubernatorial candidate seeded his campaign with an initial $500,000 in personal money and declared that he would spend as much as $2 million on the  primary. But he is on track to fall short of that number.\u00a0Upon release of his latest campaign finance report last week, the business entrepreneur announced he would be donating another $500,000 in personal funds to his campaign for a total of $1 million. Critics jumped, questioning his commitment to the race which also features ABQ businessman Doug Turner and former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull who each report raising about $500,000. We asked Rodriguez about that $2 million commitment and why he has not come with the entire amount. He said:\u00a0I remain fully committed to investing up to $2  million in this campaign. Any smart businessperson deploys capital in  tranches, not all at once. You invest strategically, measure impact, and  then scale. . . I could have written a check for the full amount and sat on a  pile of cash comparable to at least one of the Democrats\u2014but that  proves nothing. Empty claims don\u2019t win elections. Execution does. What  matters is what we\u2019re doing now. Just this week alone, we launched a  second round of billboard buys, a six-figure radio campaign, next is TV,  and we\u2019re rolling out additional print and direct mail. That\u2019s real  investment, not talk. The reality is it takes about a million dollars to  move the needle on name ID in a race like this. And with more than 70%  of likely voters still undecided, this is the most critical phase. We\u2019ll  be deploying another $500,000 over the next 50 days to define who I am  to voters. . .I\u2019m  focused on building a campaign that wins\u2014and letting others take their  best shots along the way.\u00a0Rodriguez sounds as if he may be putting a cap of $1 million on his declared $2 million spend for the June 2 primary.\u00a0Consultants we asked still don't rule out a final days additional donation from Rodriguez, believing he will analyze his polling as mid-May approaches and make a final decision on putting up cash beyond the $1 million. One of them opined:If\u00a0he\u2019s gaining ground, he could lean in on spending more to cross the finish line. But if he\u2019s stalled in the teens, he  might stick to the $1 million and call it a day.\u00a0There has been no public polling in the race.\u00a0The candidates are not widely known making cash even more critical than usual. Rodriguez still has the edge. As of April 6 he reports spending $373,000 of the first $500,000 he has donated, leaving him with $175,000 in cash on hand. Combined with the fresh $500K he is giving, that amounts to $675,000 in cash.\u00a0Turner reported\u00a0$440,000 in cash and Hull reported\u00a0$238,000.\u00a0DINING AT MAR-A-LAGOWhile the PR does not say \"Trump is attending,\"\u00a0a May 6 high-dollar fund-raiser--$10,000-$25,000 per couple--at the president's Mar-a-Lago\u00a0private club for Guv candidate\u00a0Doug Turner and Alaska's\u00a0Bernadette Wilson--signals an alignment with the Trump agenda.\u00a0New Mexico oil tycoons Mark Murphy and Harvey Yates, Jr. have the communications lines open to Trump. They back Turner and an educated guess is that they have been helpful with the invite to the event hosted by\u00a0Chris and Ashlee Clarke, advertising heavyweights.\u00a0Insiders tell us Murphy attended a party at the turn of the year at Mar-a-Lago where Trump was in attendance.\u00a0Speculation has it that\u00a0pairing Turner with an Alaska Guv hopeful could be a  broader effort to fuse together governor campaigns in energy producing states.\u00a0All the NM GOP Guv candidates have shied away from Trump on the campaign trail--the proverbial elephant in the room---but whomever is the party's nominee will have to carry his baggage in blue New Mexico. Some will say Turner's cozying up to Trump is a change of \"math\" rather than a change of heart. One GOP Alligator commenting:He\u2019s betting that the Trump connection gets him through the primary, and his \"moderate businessman\" resume gets him through the November general election.Whatever the case, collecting Trump-related cash could up the ante and put heat on Rodriguez.\u00a0Meanwhile Hull and Turner continue to get aced by Rodriguez in the battle for free media. This lawsuit he filed challenging MLG's funding for universal early childhood care received a fair share of ink.\u00a0\u00a0DOXXER DEB?Bregman and HaalandMeanwhile in the Democratic Guv primary we're seeing the first public tension between Deb Haaland and Sam Bregman with the BernCo District Attorney personally confronting her over his family's safety. This after her campaign posted information about four houses that Bregman owns in ABQ, Angel Fire and Houston.\u00a0The post says\u00a0Bregman won't stand up to millionaires because he is one, but the reference to his homes was taken down Friday when Bregman condemned the posting and declared that he was being doxxed--that his family was put at risk.\u00a0The post did not have the addresses of the properties but did provide a link for other information about them.That was enough for Bregman to go on the offensive and do so in person.\u00a0At a weekend meeting of El Dorado Democrats near Santa Fe where both  candidates appeared, Bregman stood with microphone in hand while Haaland  was seated to his right and blasted her--a moment shared on the\u00a0socials:I have to be honest. Deb, this was an epic failure of judgement. when you posted on your website my 88 year old grandmother's house, my daughter's house (who) is with my two grandchildren. It's a click away from someone finding out. Everyone knows what I do for a living, I'm the District Attorney but you want to post that to get some kind of political shot in. That's called doxxing. It's not right and I can't believe we have actually stooped to that level in this campaign. My family in danger because of a political campaign? Ridiculous.\u00a0A Haaland spokeswoman responded:\u00a0None of this is private information. We did not  publish his address, and ultimately, there are ways to look this up.\u00a0\u00a0Bregman has been attacking Haaland in paid media for taking a ride on a jet linked to Jeffrey Epstein and constantly chiding her over her refusal to debate him. While a counterattack could be expected, the posting about homes owned by the chief prosecutor in the state's largest county appears to be a rookie error. For the moment it pumps some fresh air into Bregman's uphill campaign.\u00a0This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": " '21 NFL Draft. Erik Drost, Wiki Commons. Culture Survey says NM loves this NFL team\u2014fans aren\u2019t buying itby Gregory Hollister April 20, 2026",
        "body": "A new nationwide look at NFL fandom is sparking debate in New Mexico after a viral social media post suggested the state overwhelmingly backs a team many residents say they rarely see. The controversy began when DraftKings shared a map on social media showing each state\u2019s most popular NFL team, citing data from World Population Review. That data, in turn, traced back to a study by Vivid Seats, which analyzed ticket purchases by ZIP code to determine which teams fans in each county support. According to the Vivid Seats analysis, the Arizona Cardinals dominate much of New Mexico\u2014particularly across the western and central parts of the state. The county-level breakdown shows the Cardinals leading in the vast majority of New Mexico\u2019s 33 counties, including populous areas such as Otero, Do\u00f1a Ana, Santa Fe, Bernalillo, and Los Alamos counties. Only a handful of counties diverged from that trend. In northern New Mexico, Rio Arriba, Taos, Colfax, and Mora counties were shown favoring the Denver Broncos. Elsewhere, San Miguel County leaned toward the San Francisco 49ers, while Quay County favored the Miami Dolphins. Torrance County backed the Las Vegas Raiders, and Union County showed support for the New York Giants. Meanwhile, southeastern counties\u2014including Guadalupe, Valencia, Curry, Roosevelt, Chaves, Lea, Eddy, and Sierra\u2014were shown favoring the Dallas Cowboys, long considered \u201cAmerica\u2019s Team.\u201d A few counties were listed as having no clear favorite, including Catron and Harding counties. The broader regional pattern also stood out. According to the study, every county in Arizona showed support for the Cardinals, while parts of neighboring Utah also leaned heavily toward the team. But despite the data, many New Mexicans aren\u2019t convinced. Social media reactions quickly poured in after the map began circulating, with many residents questioning whether the results reflect reality on the ground. \u201cNM is full of Broncos and Cowboys fans\u2026 never have I met someone who likes the Cardinals,\u201d one Facebook commenter wrote. \u201cNobody in NM likes the Cardinals,\u201d another added. Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing to long-standing loyalties in the state. \u201cNew Mexico is mainly Cowboys and Broncos fans,\u201d one commenter said, while another declared, \u201cNew Mexico will forever be Dallas Cowboys.\u201d Some responses were even more blunt. \u201cFrom New Mexico and there\u2019s fans for literally every team BUT the Cardinals,\u201d one user wrote, adding they had never encountered a Cardinals fan in decades of living in the state. Another commenter claimed, \u201cNever once in my life have I met a Cardinals fan in Albuquerque\u2026 almost everyone else is a Cowboys/Steelers bandwagon or a Broncos fan.\u201d Each state\u2019s most popular NFL team in the United States.Any surprises? \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com/p0PCXDX1gP The disconnect highlights a key limitation of the study\u2019s methodology. Vivid Seats based its findings on ticket purchase data\u2014specifically, which teams\u2019 games fans were buying tickets to attend\u2014rather than direct polling of fan preferences. That approach may capture travel patterns or one-time attendance rather than deep-rooted fandom, especially in a geographically diverse state like New Mexico, where residents often follow teams from neighboring states or historic franchises with national appeal. Still, the findings offer a snapshot\u2014albeit a controversial one\u2014of how fan engagement may be shifting. Whether the Cardinals truly dominate New Mexico or the data simply reflects ticket-buying habits rather than loyalty, one thing is clear: the map has struck a nerve. And for many New Mexicans, the idea that the Cardinals rule the state may be harder to believe than the study itself. The NFL is a perverse degenerate outfit.  If we all stopped watching then it would go away. Isn\u2019t that the truth! Never was a football fan, but if it went away most wouldn\u2019t miss it.\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 Abq straw poll \u2013 Neighbors on one side Cowboys fans, neighbor on the other, Broncos fan.  And as with our politics we\u2019re in-between and in  minority \u2013 go Patriots! \ud83e\udd73 No way the Cardinals! For more than 30 years the State could only view games played by the Dallas Cowboys whether on radio or TV. A bunch of California and Arizona chip-industry carpetbaggers live in Rio Rancho now\u2026 who hate the Cowboys and the old Houston Oilers franchise. This does not surprise me one bit. Go Cardinals!! The Cardinals? What a joke! The greatest number of NM fans favor the Cowboys, Broncos, or Steelers. Your email address will not be published.

        "title": " Jud McCranie, Wiki Commons. New Mexico NM gubernatorial candidate to headline Mar-a-Lago fundraiser",
        "body": "Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Turner is set to headline a high-dollar fundraiser next month at President Donald J. Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago Club, highlighting the growing national attention and financial stakes surrounding New Mexico\u2019s governor\u2019s race. According to reporting from the Santa Fe New Mexican, Turner (one of three Republicans seeking the party\u2019s nomination) will be a featured guest at the May 6 event in Palm Beach, Florida. He is expected to appear alongside Alaska gubernatorial candidate Bernadette Wilson. The fundraiser is being promoted as an exclusive opportunity for donors to engage directly with rising Republican candidates in a private setting. \u201cJoin us for an exclusive, off-the-record conversation with the next Governors of Alaska and New Mexico,\u201d the invitation states, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican. \u201cTwo leaders poised to shape the future of American energy independence, national security and secure President Trump\u2019s America First Agenda.\u201d The event will be hosted by Chris and Ashlee Clarke, a donor couple identified in the invitation materials, and is expected to draw high-level contributors from across the country. But attending won\u2019t come cheap. The invitation outlines two tiers for participation, with \u201chost committee\u201d access priced at $25,000 per couple and general attendance set at $10,000 per couple. The evening is scheduled to begin with a cocktail reception at 7 p.m., followed by a formal seated dinner at 8 p.m. Turner\u2019s appearance at Mar-a-Lago underscores the increasingly nationalized nature of New Mexico\u2019s gubernatorial race, as candidates look to tap into major donor networks and align themselves with broader Republican priorities. Mar-a-Lago has become a central hub for Republican fundraising and political strategy, particularly for candidates seeking to connect with influential donors and align with Trump\u2019s political orbit. The themes highlighted in the invitation\u2014energy independence, national security, and the \u201cAmerica First Agenda\u201d\u2014signal the policy direction Turner is emphasizing as he seeks to gain traction in the primary. While the New Mexico governor\u2019s race is still taking shape, events like this provide candidates with opportunities to build national relationships, secure early financial commitments, and position themselves within the broader political landscape. Turner\u2019s participation in a high-profile event at Mar-a-Lago may also boost his standing among Republican voters who view alignment with Trump and his policy priorities as a key indicator of credibility. As the primary contest develops, the ability to raise funds and build a strong campaign infrastructure will likely prove critical\u2014and high-dollar events like this one could play a major role in determining which candidates emerge as frontrunners. Turner\u2019s Mar-a-Lago appearance signals that New Mexico\u2019s next gubernatorial election may be influenced not just by local dynamics, but by broader political forces shaping the Republican Party as a whole. NM is still doing early voting and mail in.  So the cheating has to stop. Plus we most likely will be using the Dominion to change votes and hooked up to the internet\u2026. Oh my gosh no, I am voting for Hull! Im a LIFELONG conservative moderate GOP. I am retired, with military and public service as a peace officer. I was not a peacekeeper, but I align with bring a peacemaker. If you dont agree with the following you are a RINO\u2026Imho of course. #1. The end of unlimited abortion up to birth in the State for any purpose whatsoever and eliminate all abortion for tourism dollars scams the DNC of NM established. #2. The absolute stoppage of all transfender practices for all children unless they have gained consent and emaciated through a judicial order. #3. Parents of children recognized as having a transgender or LGBT issue shall be\u2026 not might or can\u2026SHALL be notified\u2026 unless a court (competent of course and not DNC controlled which eliminates most courts in NM right now) has granted an emancipation order. #4. Oil and gas expansion with safety and security issues addressed as well as clean up and old non producing well capping\u2026but reduced times for well permitting processes and reduction of costs to drill and operate. #5. No tax on tips and social security. #6. No property taxes on all retirees who\u2019s incomes levels are below $75, 000, adjusted for inflation every year. #7. No more free school for non resident or illicit immigrants. #8. Only felons and the mentally challenged shall be prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm, which includes transgenderism as a mentally challenged health issue. #8. Social security lowered to maximum benefit to age 62 with no penality for continuing to work. All wage earners uncapped and must pay a minimum of employee contribution share to social security taxes. A maximum benefit for all shall be $5,500 monthly, and Medicare taxes shall be required by all. Universal health care completed. Only US Citizens shall be eligible for drawing Social Security and Medicare.  All taxes paid into these programs if paid by illicit immigrants or visa held foreigners shall be forfeited to the programs. If an illegal or visa holder desires to get these benefits, take the citizenship test and renounce your former nation and become an American citizen. #9. The right to protest is limited to American Citizens only and on American controlled property only. If violence occurs, disband. If your the violent offender, Jail and loose %50 of social security and Medicare benefits upon conviction. That %50 goes towards jails and incarceration, the Medicare loss gos to hospitals. Platforms like this is what I can support. Hmmmm\u2026.. Looks like the Wrong Guy Got Invited. Personally I think connecting completely with the Trump agenda is a turn Off for a lot of NM Rs. I don\u2019t have an issue with National money be thrown toward the race for Republicans but going to Mar A Longo is a mistake. I\u2019d much rather see the CD2 race get this kind of backing and money!! Is this a kiss of death? That goes for anyone this may relate to in terms of an endorsement. Congressional candidate Greg Cunningham needs an invite to Mar-a-Lago. Agreed.  I\u2019m co-hosting a fundraiser for him at Casa Ronde\u00f1a soon, a nice event location in the North Valley. Hull\u2019s a good guy, but Turner is rock solid and has a better chance in the general. Tired of losing to Dems who are clearly not even contenders in their own right, but are run by those \u2018behind the curtain.\u2019 Hull is arrogant, treats his constituents badly if they disagree with him, and engages in perpetual karen pleasing. His resume reads like a wannabe D. Doug is a dark horse, emerging as the best option. Doug is an excellent choice for NM. Doug Turner is making a fatal error.   in order to win he needs to pull more than 20 percent of the democrat votes.   fundraising at Mar-a Lago will turn every democrat against him.   surprised he doesnt see that reality. Doing this actually impresses me that Doug is dynamic enough to try to appeal to MAGA voters while empathizing his independent mindedness. He may turn off the zombie left that won\u2019t vote for him anyway, but independents and conservative Ds will still consider him over numbskull Deb haalland. From a financial standpoint, he can\u2019t turn this down. The D machine has a massive warchest. If he doesn\u2019t get past the R primary, who cares what Ds think. Like I said before\u2026 Trump is inbound to clean up the final communist mess before taking-out California. Mark my words, the FBI and DOJ are going to live in New Mexico until the citizens get off the tit and wake up\u2026 and anyone who thinks they can defeat this meatgrinder juggernaut (like the Governor, the Legislators, and the New Mexico Supremes) you may as well move\u2026 you might run, but you cannot hide from the JUSTICE that is coming to New Mexico in overwhelming numbers. Of the original 400,000 SEALED Federal Grand Jury indictments \u2014 75,000 remain unsealed.

        "body": "Tensions are escalating in New Mexico\u2019s Democrat gubernatorial primary after candidate Sam Bregman accused rival Deb Haaland\u2019s campaign of putting his family at risk by posting property-related information online\u2014calling the move an \u201cepic failure of judgment\u201d and equating it to \u201cdoxxing.\u201d According to reporting from the Albuquerque Journal, Haaland\u2019s campaign published details tied to four properties Bregman owns\u2014located in Albuquerque, Angel Fire, and Houston\u2014on its website. The information included parcel and account numbers along with estimated property values. The content was taken down Friday after Bregman sent a letter demanding its removal. The controversy quickly became a flashpoint during a candidate forum, where Bregman directly confronted Haaland and accused her campaign of crossing a serious line. \u201cThis is really important to me,\u201d Bregman said. \u201cWhat I saw this week, I have to be honest, Deb\u2014this was an epic failure of judgment when you posted on your website my 88-year-old mother\u2019s house, my daughter\u2019s house\u2026 with my two grandchildren.\u201d Bregman warned that even if full addresses were not explicitly listed, the information made it easy for anyone to locate his family members. \u201cIt\u2019s a click away from somebody finding out,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody knows what I do for a living\u2014I\u2019m the district attorney.\u201d He then escalated his criticism, accusing the campaign of engaging in dangerous tactics for political gain. \u201cBut you want to post that to get some kind of political shot in? That\u2019s called doxxing,\u201d Bregman said. \u201cIt\u2019s not right. And I can\u2019t believe we have actually stooped to that level in this campaign.\u201d In a separate interview cited by the Albuquerque Journal, Bregman expressed anger over the potential consequences of the post. \u201cAnger doesn\u2019t even begin to describe what Deb Haaland did in the name of politics,\u201d he said. \u201cShe put my family at risk\u2014the safety and well-being of my family at risk.\u201d Bregman emphasized that his role as 2nd Judicial District Attorney makes the situation particularly concerning, given the nature of the cases his office handles. \u201cI\u2019m the district attorney,\u201d he said. \u201cI put a lot of people away in prison. We deal with people who make threats all the time.\u201d The Albuquerque Journal reported that one of the properties listed is Bregman\u2019s personal residence, while others are tied to close family members, including his elderly mother and his daughter, who lives with her family in Texas. Haaland\u2019s campaign has defended the post, saying the information came from publicly available sources. Campaign spokeswoman Hannah Menchhoff told the Journal, \u201cNone of this is private information\u2026 We did not publish his address, and ultimately, there are ways to look this up.\u201d Still, the campaign removed the information within 24 hours after receiving Bregman\u2019s letter. For Bregman, however, the issue goes beyond legality and into judgment. \u201cMy family in danger because of a political campaign? Ridiculous,\u201d he said. The dispute has added a sharp edge to the Democrat primary race, raising broader questions about campaign tactics and the line between opposition research and personal safety. Democrat civil war in primary for governor:DA Sam Bregman accuses Biden's former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland of doxxing his family in ploy for the Governor's Mansion \ud83d\udc40The most publicly released polling shows Haaland leading Bregman by over 20 points. pic.twitter.com/QSAF4D3141 Democrats are synonymous with lawlessness.   They dox repubs all the time.  ICE agents also. Judges.  anyone they dont like.  this is your party sam.  this is who you affiliate with.   You should be ashamed.  Democrats can dish it out by the truckload,  but they cant take it.  even in the smallest amounts. Amen Deb Haaland wont debate sam bregman.  because she doesnt have a coherent thought in her head.  this is who NM wants as governor ?  NM you are brain dead. The Democratic Party has been doxxing the Republican Party, it\u2019s candidates, Supreme Court Justices in DC, or anyone who opposes them and now they are complaining because it\u2019s not right !!!! ! Wow that\u2019s hypocrisy at its best. Haaland has proven to be the worst candidate for any elected office ever! She cant/wont answer questions without blaming someone else or directing it away, she stumbles/evades when asked what her plans are, It tells me that she is not qualified to be a leader in any activity she takes on. On top of that she has failed or disgraced every position she has held Typical democrat strategy. Notice that smirk on her face until she realized she was getting eaten by one her own. I pity NM when she\u2019s installed as our next gov. A free-for-all will be had by the crooks who run this beautiful state. Hello to even higher taxes. Shameful. You\u2019re right Miriam: when they install her. The fact she leads Bregman by 20 points, who at least has some skills, is just crazy to me. Bregman and Haaland are just more of the same Demonrat behavior and mentality that has destroyed NM.  He advertises that he\u2019ll prosecute ICE, yet ICE is doing what the federal government should have been doing all along, protecting this country and following the laws. He\u2019s open game same as her.  Public information is public information. They reap what they sow.  We need real change not the same clowns with different faces. Haaland\u2026 another one of the democrat\u2019s useful idiots. Stabbed her own culture in the back under Biden. There\u2019s no way her party will let her debate. Mostly air between ears. However, just the person needed by dem \u2018elite\u2019 to continue their NM RULE. Big difference in being governed vice RULED. Unfortunately, too many vote just because it\u2019s the party they have always voted for, not knowing what the runner\u2019s background is, and their true political \u201cACCOMPLISHMENTS\u201d that goes against what would actually be good for New Mexico CITIZENS. Hey, Sam. This is the (Democrat) world you have CHOSEN to live in. You made your bed \u2013 now (you AND your family) \u201clive\u201d in it !!! WOW NEW MEXICO!  DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME! LET\u2019S DO BETTER. I think Deb Haaland\u2019s campaign team is wrong for \u201cdoxing\u201d Bregman, but you Dems are hippocrites.  The Dems dox Republicans, Judges, Supreme Court Justices, and ICE (just to name a few) all the time, but when it is you it is suddenly \u201cwrong\u201d.  It is ok for you and your party to do it, but it cannot be done to you.  Got it!  Insanity!  I do not understand how your party still gets votes. Dumb and Dumber what a choice!

        "title": "Which Airline Should You Book? A Rightway Parking Breakdown of U.S. Carrier Punctuality",
        "body": " Which U.S. airlines were most and least punctual in 2024? A Rightway Parking study looks at delay rates, cancellations, and why carrier choice can change the real cost of a trip. Many travellers assume the biggest decision happens once they choose a fare. They compare prices, check baggage rules, glance at departure times, and move on. But that approach can miss one of the most useful travel questions: which airline is actually more likely to get you there on time? That matters more than people think. A Rightway Parking analysis of2024 Department of Transportation data andCirium\u2019s On-Time Performance Review reveals a wide gap between America\u2019s best and worst carriers, with budget airlines consistently landing at the bottom. The larger point is not just that some airlines are better run than others. It is that airline choice shapes the real experience of a trip more than many travellers realise. A cheaper fare can stop feeling cheap quickly if the flight runs late, the connection disappears, or a delay starts pushing every other part of the day out of place. That is what makes airline punctuality worth treating as more than a niche stat for frequent flyers. It is a practical consumer issue. And in 2024, the spread between airlines was wide enough to matter. The overall U.S. system was decent but hardly smooth. The Department of Transportation\u2019s full-year 2024 numbers showed an on-time arrival rate of 78.10% for reporting marketing carriers, down slightly from 78.34% the year before. The cancellation rate rose to 1.4%, up from 1.3% in 2023. That means roughly one in five flights still failed to arrive on time. Those averages are helpful as a benchmark, but they also flatten out the part travelers actually care about. A national average does not tell you much when you are the one trying to make a wedding, a cruise departure, a client meeting, or even a short weekend trip that does not have much room for error. In those moments, what matters is not the system average. What matters is whether the airline you booked performs closer to the better end of the range or the worse one. That is where the picture gets much more interesting. At the weaker end, the 2024 numbers point to a familiar pattern: the airlines selling the lowest fares often ask travellers to absorb more operational risk. A 2024 airline comparison fromDaily Passport found that Frontier had the highest delay rate among the 10 largest U.S. airlines at 27.78%. The same ranking also placed Frontier at the top for cancellations in that group, at 2.56%. That is a meaningful gap, not a rounding error. If more than one in four flights is arriving late, that changes the real value of the ticket in a way travelers can feel. JetBlue also had a rough year in that comparison, with nearly 25% of flights arriving late. American Airlines was not at the very bottom, but its 76.47% on-time arrival rate still made it the weakest of the big legacy carriers in that set. America also had the highest total number of cancelled flights, which partly reflects the size of its network but still matters for passengers. A massive airline can disrupt a lot of people even when its percentages do not look catastrophic. At the stronger end, the contrast is easier to appreciate. The same Daily Passport comparison put Hawaiian at 86.1% on-time, with fewer than 1% of flights cancelled. Delta also remained in the top tier, and Cirium\u2019s review reinforced that picture by putting Delta at 83.46% on-time across more than 1.7 million flights in 2024. That is not just a slight performance difference. It is the kind of spread that changes how travellers should think about booking. It is easy to explain delays as weather, congestion, or bad luck. Sometimes that is exactly right. But that explanation can also let airlines off too easily. Cirium\u2019s broader North America review argues that strong performance is not only about avoiding disruption. It is also about recovery. Once the system gets messy, the better airlines tend to be better at repositioning crews, managing aircraft, and keeping one problem from spilling across the rest of the day. That is an important distinction because travellers rarely experience an airline\u2019s performance as a clean on-time percentage. They experience it as whether the day stays intact. A delayed departure can become a missed connection. A missed connection can turn into an overnight stay, a lost reservation, a changed pickup plan, or an entire first day of a trip that disappears. That is what separates a mildly inconvenient airline from an expensive one. This is where the consumer angle sharpens. A low-cost carrier can still make perfect sense on the right trip. If the flight is short, nonstop, and flexible enough that a delay would be annoying but manageable, the cheaper option may absolutely be worth it. Not every ticket needs to prioritise maximum reliability. But that is different from assuming every airline is offering basically the same product with different branding. They are not. They are offering different levels of operational risk. That risk matters more when the trip matters more. A cruise departure, a family event, an international itinerary, a business trip, or even a short two-day getaway makes punctuality more valuable than it might appear on the fare screen. A cheaper ticket loses a lot of its appeal when a delay creates extra meal costs, a missed transfer, or a hotel night you did not plan to buy. That is what the airline rankings are really useful for. They do not tell travellers that one airline is always the right choice. They show where the tradeoffs are. Choosing the airline and choosing the airport are not separate decisions in the way many travelers think they are. A carrier tends to be more useful to travellers when it has real scale at an airport. More flights and more network depth can improve recovery options when things change. That does not eliminate disruption, but it can reduce how badly a delay spirals. For travellers flying through Minneapolis-St. Paul, that is especially relevant because Delta has such a large hub presence there. InDelta\u2019s MSP hub media kit, the airline says it operates more than 330 peak-day departures to 124 destinations from Minneapolis-St. Paul. That kind of depth matters because it gives travellers a stronger operational base than they would get from a thinner schedule. It also changes the ground side of the trip. If the goal is to make the whole departure day more predictable, not just the flight itself, then it makes sense to pair a stronger-performing carrier with practical choices before reaching the terminal, such asoff-site parking at MSP. That is the part many people miss. They treat airfare, parking, and airport logistics as separate decisions. In reality, they all belong to the same departure-day bill. The most useful takeaway from the 2024 numbers is not that travelers should always avoid low-cost airlines or always pay extra for a legacy carrier. The better lesson is to stop acting like airline choice is a small detail. It is one of the clearest ways to decide how much uncertainty you are willing to accept. If the trip is flexible, the fare savings may be worth the tradeoff. If the trip has real stakes, reliability deserves more weight. But either way, the decision gets better when travellers stop asking only, \u201cWhat is the cheapest ticket?\u201d and start asking, \u201cWhat kind of trip am I trying to protect?\u201d That question shifts the whole booking process. The 2024 airline data shows a travel reality many people already suspect but do not always plan around: not all carriers are equally dependable, and the difference is big enough to shape the real cost of a trip. Some airlines gave travellers a much better chance of arriving on time. Others asked passengers to accept more delay risk and less schedule stability in exchange for a lower fare. That tradeoff may be worth it sometimes. It may be a mistake at other times. The point is that it should be a conscious choice. Your comment has been submitted.

Espa\u00f1ola, forty miles north of Santa Fe, had a fire Monday afternoon that destroyed the three large business houses belonging to the Bond Brothers, the Rio Grande railroad depot and an old livery barn. A fierce gale of wind was blowing at the time. The fire was caused by the carelessness of a woman servant who pulled a quantity of hot ashes out of a yard oven. The embers were scattered by the wind against the warehouses of the Bond Brothers and the fierce flames thus created for a time threatened to sweep through the entire town. The depot building, erected nineteen years ago, was dry as tinder and next caught fire. The agent, Mr. McBride, had barely time to save part of his effects. The platform was also entirely destroyed. The flying sparks were then carried a long distance to the old stage barn formerly owned by Sol. Lowitzki and that too was quickly destroyed. The fact that the wires at Espa\u00f1ola were burned out was noticed at the Santa Fe office but it was not until the evening train arrived that the full extent of the damage was learned. Bond Brothers lost $125,000, covered by insurance to the amount of $75,000. The depot and railroad property loss was about $2,500. Agent McBride lost about $800 and the old stage barn was valued at about the same figure. Bond Brothers have an establishment at Wagon Mound and the member of the firm located there passed through Las Vegas yesterday afternoon on his way to the scene of the disaster.  New Mexico Highlands University Board of Regents Monday awarded contracts for two new building projects and authorized the administration to proceed with plans for a third. The Pecos Construction Company of Roswell was awarded the contract to build a new dormitory. The Cee Bee Construction Company of Carlsbad was awarded the contract to build a new swimming pool. Six construction firms bid on the new dormitory and the Pecos Construction Company\u2019s base bid of $559,800 was the low bid. Bids on the project ranged up to $632,428. Seven companies bid on the new swimming pool project and the base bid of $274,500 of the Cee Bee Construction Company was the low one. Bids on this project ranged up to $319,600. The new project the administration proposed to the board and which the board approved is a new two-story addition to the gymnasium to provide additional dressing room space, special instruction rooms, and facility offices. Cost of this project is estimated at $183,000. Kern Smith of Carlsbad was selected by the board to be the architect for the project. The new dormitory will be located on the corner of Columbia Avenue at Ninth Street. The new swimming pool will be located on the site of the old one, which is now being razed. The new addition to the gymnasium will be located on the corner of Baca and Mora\u00a0Avenue. The Robertson High School Band is \u201cready to go international,\u201d band director Robert Lucero told the City School\u2019s Board of Education at their regular meeting Wednesday night. Lucero was present at the board meeting to brief the board members on an upcoming band trip to the International Music Festival in Mexico City this summer, and to request approval for use of $2,000 from the student activity fund. Lucero said the RHS band was also one of 40 to 50 high school bands nationwide to receive an invitation to perform in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Lucero said the invitation was declined because of the amount of time and effort needed to raise the funds to pay for the trip. Your comment has been submitted.

        "title": " BLM NM New Mexico Oh, the irony: NM official cries \u2018land grab\u2019 after backing 30 by 30 land heist",
        "body": "In a striking turn of events, New Mexico\u2019s far-left Public Lands Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard is now sounding the alarm over what she calls a federal \u201cland grab\u201d\u2014involving just seven acres along the southern border. The reaction is drawing criticism and raising eyebrows, given Garcia Richard\u2019s past involvement in efforts to dramatically expand government influence over land use across the state. According to reporting by Source New Mexico, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking to acquire a narrow strip of state trust land near Santa Teresa to expand border infrastructure. The parcel\u2014originally granted to the state in 1898 to help fund public education\u2014has been under discussion for potential purchase for years. As Source New Mexico reported, federal officials determined the land was needed \u201cto construct new border infrastructure along the United States/Mexico border, namely, steel bollard border barrier, the installation of detection technology, and roads.\u201d CBP offered approximately $800,000 for the property\u2014an amount the U.S. Department of Justice indicated reflected fair market value. But after the State Land Office did not respond by a federal deadline, officials moved forward with plans to acquire the land through condemnation proceedings, Source New Mexico reported. Garcia Richard responded forcefully, calling the move a \u201chistoric overreach\u201d by the Trump administration. \u201cDoing business with these thugs was simply not an option,\u201d she said, according to Source New Mexico. \u201cUnsurprisingly, the President threw a temper tantrum when he couldn\u2019t automatically get his way and is now going to forcibly take our state land and deny our school kids the revenue that comes from it.\u201d Her comments mark the latest escalation in an ongoing conflict between the State Land Office and federal authorities over border wall construction and enforcement activity. But critics point to a deeper contradiction. Garcia Richard previously participated\u2014through her office\u2014in Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s \u201c30 by 30\u201d initiative, an ambitious conservation effort aimed at placing at least 30% of New Mexico\u2019s land under conservation status by 2030. According to a state presentation outlining the initiative, the executive order set a goal of conserving \u201cat least 30 percent of all lands in New Mexico\u2026 with an additional 20 percent designated as climate stabilization areas.\u201d The same materials show that the State Land Office, under Garcia Richard\u2019s leadership, had representation in the working group helping guide the effort, which was tasked with advising the governor and coordinating land-related policy across agencies. That effort represents a far broader potential impact on land use than the mere seven-acre parcel now at the center of the dispute. Meanwhile, Garcia Richard has framed the federal action as a threat to education funding, noting that state trust lands are intended to generate revenue for public schools. Still, the federal government\u2019s position is that the acquisition is necessary for national security infrastructure along the border\u2014part of a broader effort to enhance enforcement and surveillance capabilities. The dispute highlights a longstanding tension between state control of trust lands and federal authority over border security, particularly in New Mexico, where vast stretches of land intersect with international boundaries. For now, CBP is expected to proceed with legal action to acquire the parcel, while the State Land Office reviews potential options to challenge the move. to the democrats law and order is \u201chistoric overreach\u201d.  the hermit kingdom of NM is a lost cause.  all elected democrats are unfit and crazy. voters cant get enough of their madness and stupidity.   I just saw a deb haaland commercial.  a laundry list of things she has no idea how to fix.  its sickening.  who can buy into her nonsense ?  60 percent of the state, thats who.  They found someone that actually makes MLG look competent.   Mission Impossible accomplished.  again. What an idiot! Shortly after Haaland takes over, we will be reminiscing about the days of MLG. Seems to me that SHE is Screwing the school kids out of educational funds by not taking the $800k that was offered for a mere 7 acres.  Over $100k an acre for that area is insane because it\u2019s not good for anything else and at best worth $25k per acre. This state has become a communist state because of the overreach. Guaranteed they will steal all of the ranchers land in their overreach. We either vote them out or we are screwed! this jabroni balks at 800 thousand dollars for 7 worthless acres of land.   does she balk at the cost of supporting illegals that crossed the border while MLG said there was no issue ?  what a damn joke. They just hate Trump\u2026if the offer were  in the billions the idiot would have turned it down because she hates Trump. Voters!!!!!! Read the room, she\u2019s a socialist as is the rest of the minions in Santa Fe and DC. The only reason I can think of for refusing the federal officer is that the land commissioner has already leased the land to a Mexican smuggling cartel. She is a loose cannon. She\u2019s also trying to kill the data center project in Do\u00f1a Ana County by denying a right-of-way lease for a portion of the pipeline on state trust land needed for natural gas supply for power generation. The job of the Land Office is to generate revenue. At the hands of the left, it is just another tool to further their agenda. Is that 7 acres actually bringing in any revenue now? I doubt it. $800K would have been a gift for the fund. The 30 by 30 scam is an attempt to lock up large amounts of lands to then be treated as wilderness areas. More worthless progressive ideology. Trump Syndrome strikes again!!  If this woman had a brain she would be dangerous!!  Won\u2019t be long we will be another California. I think that you posters have SGR derangement syndrome. It is probably good that most of the state is already under Federal Control Another appointee of the Loserjan regime that has no business being in state Govt! New Mexico voters need to wake up and quit voting in the corrupt dembocraps who bring in their \u201cbuddies\u201d who are keeping New Mexico at the highest on the list of corrupt states! Don\u2019t forget the disgraced Secretary of Finance, Demesia Padilla and Tim Keller\u2019s former stint as Senator and State Auditor.  Fiduciary responsibility has been misappropriated,  misdirected and misused for decades upon decades as a state that violates the citizenry without conscience. Raping the coffers and demanding more taxes from the people is abhorrent behavior.   It\u2019s time for New Mexicans to rescue themselves.  Get out however you can \u2026 and run for your lives \u2026 as if these perpetrators mean to kill you.  If you see a means of escape, take it.  Sea la luz. Who\u2019s she kidding? No one. The State just provided FREE daycare and FREE college to state residents. This person is just another squawking DemOrat that has some power. She should have taken the $$ and applied to say- CYFD.

        "title": "Democratic NM governor candidate Haaland raises millions more than Bregman ahead of June 2 primary",
        "body": "Former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, pictured during New Mexico's Democratic Party\u2019s pre-primary convention in March 2026, has thus far out-raised opponent Bernalillo DA Sam Bregman by more than $7 million.  Former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, pictured during New Mexico's Democratic Party\u2019s pre-primary convention in March 2026, has thus far out-raised opponent Bernalillo DA Sam Bregman by more than $7 million. Former U.S. Interior Secretary and New Mexico governor candidate Deb Haaland in the last six months raised nearly four times as much money as her opponent, Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, as the two Democrats prepare to compete for the party\u2019s nomination in the June 2 primary election. Monday marked the deadline for candidates to file campaign finance reports that detail the last six months of fundraising efforts. Haaland\u2019s campaign finance report showed that she raised more than $4.1 million in that time period. By comparison, Bregman\u2019s campaign finance report showed he raised more than $1.2 million in the same time period. The Secretary of State\u2019s website posted many candidates\u2019 campaign finance reports shortly after receiving them ahead of Monday\u2019s deadline. Haaland\u2019s did not properly load until nearly 2 p.m. Tuesday \u2014 and the report was nearly 13,000 pages long. The office, last October, told Source Haaland\u2019s donation records had overwhelmed its system. Since launching her bid for New Mexico\u2019s highest elected office, the Haaland campaign said it raised about $11.1 million and still has more than $4.3 million on hand. Bregman\u2019s filings show he raised a total of about $3.7 million and has about $853,000 left. That gives Haaland a nearly five-to-one advantage over Bregman in terms of cash on hand. \u201cI understand how hard it is to earn a dollar \u2014 and I appreciate everyone who believes in my vision for New Mexico and has supported my campaign for governor,\u201d Haaland, who has spoken on the campaign trail about her experience as a working single mother, said in a statement. \u201cAs the most experienced candidate, I will stand up to Donald Trump, protect New Mexicans from harmful ICE policies, and lower costs so families can afford both rent and groceries in the same month.\u201d Her campaign said in a statement that more than 23,000 contributions came from New Mexicans. While Haaland outperformed Bregman nearly three-to-one at the Democratic pre-primary convention in March and has consistently raised more money, a spokesperson for Bregman\u2019s campaign said more of his support comes from New Mexico donors. Spokesperson Joanie Griffin in an email to Source NM said she believes more than 80% of Haaland\u2019s donations came from outside New Mexico. Approximately 20% of Haaland\u2019s reported campaign contributions in her report last October came from New Mexico residents, with the rest coming from nearly every state in the U.S., and a healthy chunk from her congressional campaign account. \u201cElections aren\u2019t decided by who starts with the most money. They\u2019re decided by who connects with voters and earns their trust. Eighty percent of our donors are from New Mexico, and Sam is building a broad, statewide coalition rooted in working families, small businesses and New Mexicans who are frustrated with the status quo and politics as usual,\u201d Griffin wrote. \u201cWe\u2019ve raised nearly $4 million and that\u2019s something to be proud of. Sam isn\u2019t a celebrity or a national figure with built-in networks. That support has been earned, piece by piece, from people who believe in his record and his leadership.\u201d  Republicans post smaller fundraising figures The three Republicans running to be New Mexico\u2019s next governor reported smaller fundraising efforts in their Monday reports. Public relations professional Doug Turner reported raising nearly $503,000 in the last six months. In a statement, he said he has more cash on hand than both of his opponents combined. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve built in 12 weeks is just the beginning,\u201d Turner said in a statement. \u201cThis is a clear sign that our message of cutting personal and gross receipts taxes, fixing education, and making our communities safe is resonating with New Mexicans. Our campaign is igniting a powerful coalition that stretches from our largest cities to our smallest communities.\u201d Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull, who won 55% of the delegates at the Republican pre-primary convention, raised nearly $145,000 in the last six months, according to his campaign finance report. Former state cabinet secretary and hospital executive-turned cannabis CEO Duke Rodriguez reported raising just more than $501,000 \u2014 though his report shows $500,000 of that came from Rodriguez himself.

        "title": "Off The Charts: Haaland Fundraising Stuns; 13,000 Page Donor Report Nationalizes Her Candidacy; Analyst Says Race Looking Like \"A Fait Accompli\" Even As Fundamental Questions Remain Unanswered",
        "body": "The immense fundraising reported by Dem gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland--over $11 million already raised for a campaign in a state of 2.1 million--comes with multiple descriptions: \"Overwhelming, insane, a national phenomenon.\" (Full report here.)Perhaps most alarming to Haaland's critics is the label assigned by longtime state political analyst, former legislator and attorney Greg Payne who opines:Her candidacy is starting to look like a fait accompli.In her finance report released this week Haaland reports total expenditures thus far of $6.713 million and cash on hand of $4.366 million. Her Dem primary foe Sam Bregman is not even in shouting distance with $853,000 in cash.\u00a0Haaland's report of donations for the last six months runs nearly a stunning 13,000 pages, so large that the Secretary of State's office needed several days to get it downloaded.\u00a0Overall, the report is so astonishing that it prompts the question of whether her progressive supporters --most of whom are ardent campaign reform advocates--won't ask her to voluntarily place a limit on her future fundraising. She won't, of course. Those grassroots supporters see her cash haul as a mandate. The manic fundraising goes on even if there is only a shred of hope that the eventual GOP nominee could compete against her national cash avalanche that is premised on Haaland becoming the state's first Native American governor and the nation's first female Native American governor.BERNIE SANDERS AURA\u00a0There are large donations on the report but it is the massive number of small donations from all 50 states that gives it a Bernie Sanders aura, recalling his presidential campaign that first harnessed millions of small-donors in the Democratic grassroots and made history.\u00a0The national ownership of this candidacy also sparks debate over how Haaland would governor our small southwestern state. Would it become even more of a laboratory for California-style progressive politics? Would she pursue national ambitions upon taking office? Would she employ her fund-raising prowess for robust paid ad campaigns to push her agenda through the legislature? Could she get involved in Democratic primaries to take out what remains of the moderate wing of the Democratic party?A PAPER TIGER?\u00a0Here's a larger issue that has irritated Haaland and her campaign and that can't be hidden behind mountains of cash: Is she a paper tiger? Does she remain vulnerable to a case of the glass jaw where she breaks under the pressure? Is she \"incompetent,\" a charge made publicly this week by GOP governor candidate Doug Turner?\u00a0Bregman says yes to all of the above and has repeatedly challenged Haaland to TV debates which she continues to reject. (The one joint appearance scheduled in May does not qualify as a real debate.)Haaland's wildly successful fund-raising also can't erase doubts that her candidacy could amount to an ultra-expensive vanity project, anointing her to a first in the nation status but then flailing when challenged by the prospect of truly governing. It is not an imagined worry.\u00a0In 2010 Republican Susana Martinez was celebrated as the nation's first Hispanic woman governor only to falter badly and leave office unpopular and largely unaccomplished after eight years in office.\u00a0Martinez's deficiencies were seen during her campaign but an enamored electorate looked the other way.\u00a0Money can do wonders for a campaign as Haaland is showing, but it does not change the fundamental nature of a candidate's personality that campaigns are intended to test. The most pressing question on the table at this historic juncture is whether Haaland will be put to the test or is the \"fait accompli\" already inevitable?\u00a0PAC ATTACKS\u00a0That PAC needling Haaland over her link to Jeffrey Epstein is being financed by figures in the orbit of Sam Bregman although his campaign denies being behind the Accountable NM PAC\u00a0which reports raising $87,000 for ads attacking Haaland's ride on a jet linked to accused pedophile Epstein. The news:At least three of (the PAC's) four donors are linked to Bregman through New Mexico\u2019s  horse racing industry. . .all four contributed to Bregman in the last  campaign reporting period, according to filings. Bregman served as chairman of the New Mexico Racing Commission before  stepping in as Bernalillo County district attorney in early 2023. His campaign denied any involvement with the group.$25,000 from Arroyo Del Oso Mini-Warehouses Inc., which is controlled by Billy G. Smith, now the racing commission chairman.$25,000 from Mizala LLP, a corporation controlled by car dealer Bob Pitre, a member of the racing commission.$12,500  from Paul Blanchard, CEO of the Albuquerque Downs Racetrack and Casino  who previously owned a racehorse  named Bregman.The fourth donor is listed as Guzman Construction Solutions LLC, a firm controlled by Albuquerque developer Rudy Guzman.THE LIMITS\u00a0Joe MonahanA Dem consultant writes to clarify for us and our readers the donation limits in effect for the '26 election cycle:\u00a0The donation limit in the Governor\u2019s race is $12.400 for the primary and $12.400 for the general election. It is easy to be confused as every other race is $6,200 each for the primary and general.\u00a0\u00a0Quite the week for dollar signs and we didn't even get to the Republicans. We'll have to give that a shot next time.\u00a0Reporting from Albuquerque, I'm Joe Monahan and. . .This is the Home of New Mexico Politics.E-mail\u00a0your news and comments.

        "title": "  New Mexico Heinrich ends up with egg on his face after brutal takedown",
        "body": "A heated exchange on X between U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich and Sen. Mike Lee is drawing widespread attention after Heinrich\u2019s attempted attack over Epstein files quickly turned against him in dramatic fashion. The clash began when Lee criticized Senate Democrats\u2014including Heinrich\u2014for opposing efforts related to the C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez National Monument, writing: \u201cThe C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez National Monument is the very place where Ch\u00e1vez sexually abused women and children. Senate Democrats just fought to keep this crime scene enshrined as a national monument\u2026.\u201d Heinrich responded by attempting to shift the narrative, posting a headline attacking Lee: \u201cSen. Lee votes to block release of Epstein files day after Trump\u2019s name surfaces.\u201d But Lee quickly fired back, disputing the framing and pointing to the underlying vote itself. According to reporting from Fox News, the July 2025 vote in question involved a Democratic push to force the release of unredacted Epstein-related files, a move Republicans opposed over concerns about exposing sensitive information and politicizing incomplete records. Fox News reported that Republicans argued releasing unredacted documents without proper review could risk \u201cmisleading or weaponized interpretations\u201d and potentially interfere with ongoing legal matters tied to the case. Lee then escalated the exchange further\u2014posting a screenshot of a 2012 email tied to Epstein-related documents that included Heinrich. The email, dated July 16, 2012, reads in part: \u201cCongressman Martin Heinrich will be in NYC tomorrow and would love to get lunch with you around 12:30pm if you\u2019re free\u2026 Please let me know if you\u2019re interested in meeting him and learning more about his race for Senate in New Mexico\u2026\u201d The message described Heinrich\u2019s campaign as \u201ca top-tier Senate race\u201d and emphasized its importance in determining Senate control. While being mentioned in such documents does not imply wrongdoing, the optics of the exchange quickly shifted the narrative online\u2014undercutting Heinrich\u2019s attempt to use the Epstein issue as a political attack. The moment rapidly gained traction, with prominent voices weighing in. Conservative activist Scott Presler responded bluntly to Lee\u2019s post, \u201cOwned.\u201d The exchange highlights the increasingly high-risk nature of political clashes on social media, particularly when they involve complex and controversial topics like the Epstein files. What began as an attempt by Heinrich to criticize Lee over a Senate vote instead opened the door to scrutiny of Heinrich\u2019s own appearance in Epstein-related records\u2014creating what many observers described as an unforced political error. The broader Epstein debate has become a flashpoint in national politics, with both parties accusing each other of selectively using information for political gain. But as this exchange demonstrates, those tactics can backfire quickly\u2014especially in a fast-moving online environment. For Lee, the moment served as an opportunity to flip the narrative and challenge the premise of Heinrich\u2019s attack. For Heinrich, it became a cautionary example of how political messaging can unravel in real time. As social media continues to shape political discourse, exchanges like this are becoming more common\u2014where a single post can escalate into a viral flashpoint with national implications in a matter of hours. https://t.co/BLj7KYk2yO pic.twitter.com/kPO3ITeeHT why was heinrich elected ? he does not represent NM.  he is about as new mexican as a philly cheese steak.  the guy sucks.   hes dumb.   his ideas dont work.  he lies. he does everything in his power to destroy the 2nd amendment. he wont pay TSA or coast guard or DHS.  he tows the dem  party line.   he will be re-elected.   NM one of 5 states that refused to give no tax on tips,  no tax on Overtime, No tax on social security for some retirees on state taxes.   they preach \u201caffordability\u201d after flooding our cities with illegals that need housing. they are frauds.   the voters here are a disgrace. Well said. Heinrich has been elected to the Albuquerque City Council and serving as its {resident.  Then elected to the House of Representatives defeating Darren White by 12%!  He was reelected to the House and later ran for the US Senate and won.  He beat Heather Wilson by 6%.  He has been reelected twice, beating Mark Rich by 24% then beating Nella Domenici by just over 10%.  My guess is he was representing his New Mexico people vary well? He was born in Nevada and I don\u2019t think Philly cheesesteak was very popular there. His Mother was a seamstress and his father a utility company lineman so he grew up in a family of ordinary Americans. Hid mechanical engineering degree from the University of Missouri and further study at UNM might indicate to many that he is not dumb. Heinrich does not/cannot vote on New Mexico taxes so how is he responsible for them? Martin is a hunter, was a member of the NRA and thinks limiting automatic weapons designed only to kill people should be regulated.  How many school children must die first? In 2007 George W. Bush sent legislation to Congress to overhaul the US immigration system.  I t was a surprisingly good bill.  New rules to limit immigration, add 20,000 new boarder control agents and more.  The Republicans in Congress stopped the bill from ever even being voted on. I do not think that was Martin\u2019s fault since he was not in Congress at the time. Love it, Lee. Heinrich versus Mike Lee is like a midget trying to fight Andre the Giant.  An absurd mismatch. Pi\u00f1on Post \u2013 all the news that\u2019s fit to print. Heinrich needs to go, he does not even live here in NM. Another one of MLG (the wicked queen of the north) minions.  He does not represent what we need here in NM. Actually all the Democraps need to go but seem like people are not bright in know why we are last in everything. I am not saying all the Republicans are faultless but they are more conservative and do what they can when the cards are stacked against them. Get rid of the ungodly evil people (including Haaland who is dumb as a rock). And vote in people that want what is good for the people of NM.  Follow the money and you will know whose pockets are filled with illegally gained net ($$$) worth. Touch\u00e9..right back at you Heinrich\u2026loose lips sink ships\u2026and your ship has a leak caused by slime of the worst kind\u2026. He was useless as city council man and carried back to DC. BTW since he is no longer a RESIDENT of NM doesn\u2019t that make him all the more incapable of representing NM? Asking for a friend How you all keep reelecting that Twinkle Toed Communist is absurd. I think the simplest answer to Chavez name being removed in the state of New Mexico is by just removing his first name. Who is Chavez county named after. How many people in New Mexico has the last name of Chavez. How idiotic is to fight over a problem that is so easily solved. The he** with Heinrich he\u2019s one of the idiots. From Wikipedia: \u201cChaves County was named for Colonel Jose Francisco Chaves, a military leader there during the Civil War and later in Navajo campaigns.\u201d Please note Chaves spelled with an s. The Epstein connection in NM  has Haaland, Heinrich, Stansbury, Leger-Fernandez..there has to be a lot more politicians, players, participants and pedophiles coming down the Rio Grande, expose the truth. The only place I have seen this story is Pinion Post and we need to get more exposure to the public so people see all information easily, not everyone is a deranged democrat. No one and I mean NO ONE has ever accused Hiney-lick of being very smart!! He needs to update his resume and see if he can qualify for the window position at Blake\u2019s lotaburger!!

        "title": "  New Mexico NM Supreme Court torpedoes AG Torrez\u2019s crusade against Otero County",
        "body": "In a sweeping and unanimous decision, the New Mexico Supreme Court has rejected an aggressive legal challenge from Attorney General Ra\u00fal Torrez targeting Otero County\u2019s federal detention contract\u2014delivering a major victory for the county and raising new questions about the limits of the AG\u2019s authority. All five justices on the court sided with Otero County, denying the Attorney General\u2019s emergency petition that sought to invalidate the county\u2019s longstanding agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The ruling also denied a request for an emergency stay, allowing operations at the Otero County Processing Center to continue uninterrupted. The decision is particularly notable given the ideological makeup of the court. Despite being composed entirely of Democrat members, the justices ruled 5-0 against the Democratic Attorney General\u2019s legal theory\u2014underscoring the weakness of the case brought against the county. At the center of the dispute was the county\u2019s intergovernmental service agreement (IGSA) with federal authorities, which has been in place for nearly two decades. The contract supports the operation of the Otero County Processing Center in Chaparral and serves as a major economic driver for the region. According to county officials, the stakes of the case were significant. The facility supports 284 local jobs and generates approximately $21 million in annual wages, while also backing more than $14 million in outstanding bond obligations tied to the county\u2019s jail infrastructure. County leaders argued that the Attorney General\u2019s attempt to terminate the contract would have triggered an immediate financial crisis\u2014potentially forcing the county into default and jeopardizing its long-term fiscal stability. In a statement following the ruling, Otero County Attorney R.B. Nichols said the court\u2019s decision affirmed both the legality of the contract and the county\u2019s position. \u201cThe legal arguments the County advanced were grounded in the plain text of New Mexico law, eighteen years of uninterrupted state acquiescence, and the federal government\u2019s exclusive authority over immigration detention,\u201d Nichols said. \u201cThe Court appears to have seen those arguments clearly.\u201d The ruling also marks a significant rebuke of the Attorney General\u2019s strategy. County officials characterized the lawsuit as a politically motivated effort to dismantle a lawful federal contract\u2014one that had operated without challenge for nearly two decades. \u201cThe Supreme Court did exactly what courts are supposed to do\u2014apply the law as written, without regard to political pressure,\u201d said Otero County Commission Chair Vickie Marquardt. Critics of the Attorney General\u2019s action argue the case reflects a broader pattern of overreach, with state-level officials attempting to override local governance decisions for political purposes. In this instance, the court\u2019s unanimous ruling suggests those efforts ran headlong into established law. The court\u2019s decision ensures that the federal contract remains fully in force, preserving both jobs and revenue streams that are critical to Otero County\u2019s economy. More broadly, the case highlights an ongoing tension between state political leadership and local governments\u2014particularly in areas involving federal partnerships and immigration enforcement. For now, Otero County officials are framing the ruling as a clear victory\u2014not just for the county, but for the principle that local governments can operate within the law without being subjected to what they view as politically driven legal attacks. With the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, the county\u2019s position has been fully upheld\u2014and the Attorney General\u2019s attempt to dismantle the contract has been decisively rejected. Outstanding! This is great news and sets a precedent related to ICE.  When federal intervention may be necessary there is a holding facility that might be tapped. This is a huge victory for Otero County and America. Fantastic to see such strong affirmation of both law and justice.  Support SAM KANE for NM attorney general in November and so won\u2019t have an AG who would even consider such a wasteful, frivolous, wrong-headed lawsuit. Nice for ICE and Otero County. Thank you New Mexico Supreme Court. Great!  I think there are still classic liberal Democrats who are a little closer to center around.  The psyop is over!  People are waking up!  How? You ask?  The psycho left communists have pretty much bullied their way into the Democrat Party.  They are using the old frog in a frying pan trick.  How do you boil a frog in a frying pan?  Turn the temperature up a degree at a time.  That is what these psychos are trying to advance.  Torres is testing the water to see if he can advance more leftist control.  The mere fact that the NM Supreme Court said no is great.  It shows that they can try but they keep losing more and more and former leftists have woken up.  But even more exciting is that Hispanic and Black Americans are starting to see through the BS.  They can talk all the jive they want about taking over in the midterms but they are going to be in for a Hillary Clinton-like surprise.  That is, as long as the Republicans Party runs candidates in every meaningful race! I totally agree with you. I personally will be voting against all of the NM Supreme Court judges from now on until we get Republican judges on the bench. And Raul Torrez needs to be voted out! He\u2019s a super liberal who went to Harvard. That tells us something. This is great news.  Now other NM counties can build ICE facilities. One sentence that stood out, the Supreme Court  applied the law as it is written\u2026.Wow how novel\u2026.could there be light at the end of the democrats dark tunnel\u2026pray, light is always good. How do these extreme liberals get elected?  I don\u2019t think we have that many dumb people in New Mexico. Who thinks that open boarders and supporting illegal is in any way a good idea?  These liberals are insane. Gabe Vasquez isn\u2019t happy. I am happy our current justices did the right thing, I apologize to them as I thought they would rule with the ruling party.  I am thank full they they take their jobs seriously. Score one for the good guys! What an outstanding decision by the NM Supreme Court! Raul Torrez exposed for the clown he is.  he is not done harassing Otero county.  you can count on that.   lawfare, the democrat way. Your email address will not be published.

The Bar Casta\u00f1eda, at 524 Railroad Ave. has reopened after a brief hiatus under new ownership. The bar and restaurant at The Casta\u00f1eda Hotel are open once again with centuries\u2019 old tradition and style. About 100 guests \u2013 including city officials such as Mayor David Romero and education leaders such as New Mexico Highlands University President Dr. Neil Woolf \u2013 attended a soft reopening for the Bar Casta\u00f1eda Tuesday evening. The Bar Casta\u00f1eda, at 524 Railroad Ave., will officially reopen on Thursday. Its regular hours will be Thursday through Monday, and is set to open at 6 a.m. every day, said Dennis Lucero, who purchased The Casta\u00f1eda Hotel late last year along with his wife, Annette Lucero; Carlos Lopez and Patricia Lopez. The establishment will not have a set closing time, Dennis Lucero said, stating that this will remain flexible to accommodate those who visit the bar and restaurant as well as those who are staying at its 22-bedroom hotel. The Bar Casta\u00f1eda has a new executive chef, Jayson Cox, who was busy Tuesday plating tapas for the event\u2019s guests. There will be a breakfast and lunch menu, and tapas \u2013 small appetizers made for sharing \u2013 will be a main feature on the menu. Carlos Lopez said there are plans to add entr\u00e9es to the menu soon, such as hamburgers, seafood and chicken sandwiches. The current menu includes camarones al ajillo \u2013 pan-seared shrimp seasoned with shaved garlic; empanadas de carne, or meat-filled hand pies; and huevos a la Gallega, which are deviled eggs served with serrano peppers, bacon, cherry tomatoes and potatoes. Tapas, Carlos Lopez said, are a culinary concept that \u201ctie into the Spanish heritage of the area.\u201d He noted that Hispanic culture is strong in Northern New Mexico, and that he and his wife, Patricia, and the Luceros all descend from families that have been in the area for generations. \u201cWe wanted to bring some of that Spanish heritage back with tapas,\u201d Carlos Lopez said. The Lopezes and the Luceros also own Buffalo Hall and Cowboy Caf\u00e9 on Grand Avenue. Because of that experience operating a busy restaurant, Lopez said they wanted to serve smaller meals at The Casta\u00f1eda that can be prepared quickly. Lopez also noted that tapas are good bar menu items as they go along with drinks. \u201cYou can go to the bar, have a drink, and order a couple of tapas,\u201d he said. The two couples who now own and operate The Casta\u00f1eda purchased the establishment in August 2025. However, Dennis Lucero, an electrical contractor, and Carlos Lopez, a general contractor, have been working on remodeling the establishment for years before owning it. \u201cIt was a very extensive remodel,\u201d Dennis Lucero said Tuesday. For the past five months, the Luceros and the Lopezes have been working to ensure that the place is up to code and to be granted a liquor license. The Casta\u00f1eda Hotel\u2019s new owners have also worked towards maintaining the establishment\u2019s history. Built in 1898, The Casta\u00f1eda was the first trackside hotel for the Santa Fe Railway. Las Vegas was New Mexico\u2019s headquarters for the Santa Fe Railway before it was moved to Lamy, and then to Albuquerque. The Casta\u00f1eda was one of several Fred Harvey hotels \u2013 properties that accommodated travelers of the Santa Fe Railway. Dennis Lucero said he did not realize how many people keep track of The Casta\u00f1eda due to it being a Fred Harvey hotel until he became one of the owners. Lucero said that the owners\u2019 goal was not to just have The Casta\u00f1eda be a place to sleep one night and then leave; but rather, have it be an immersive historic experience. To this end, they have\u00a0 added aesthetic touches, such as historic pictures set in white frames that now hang throughout the establishment. \u201cThey are all pictures of history,\u201d Dennis Lucero said. \u201cA lot of it (are pictures of) The Casta\u00f1eda, some of it is other parts of Las Vegas.\u201d Carlos Lopez said The Casta\u00f1eda\u2019s culinary offerings will also be an homage to its history. Speaking from its kitchen, where Chef Cox and line cooks were busy plating tapas for guests, Lopez pointed towards the windows along the kitchen walls. \u201cBeing a railroad destination, the train would stop here, people would get out, and they would have quick food,\u201d Lopez said. An original menu from the early 1900s is framed and displayed by one of the windows. Lopez said the tapas, like the quick menu items of those days, are meant to be small but satisfying plates. \u201cThat\u2019s what Fred Harvey had developed here with The Casta\u00f1eda,\u201d Lopez said.
