If you are voting based upon political consultants adds on TV and radio and not looking at historical statements and voting records you will find yourself sadly succumbing to the grins of political consultants and politicians who are not public servants. Don’t let that happen.

We can do this and prepare a future for our children.

This is why Deb isn’t debating Gregg Hull. WATCH👇🏼
We asked Deb Haaland about campaign contributions from Project Jupiter. She said she'd return it, if they asked for it back.

This morning I had a personal conversation with a young Doctor that is a personal provider. She informed me that she is leaving New Mexico for and relocating to Granbury, Texas. She loves New Mexico but can no longer afford the medical malpractice cost and risk associated with being a provider in New Mexico. She is a young mother and her children are fixing to begin school. The lack of having qualified education and the lack of having school choice was also part of the reasons. She is not a native of New Mexico, although she thought she wished she could stay but the risks far exceed the rewards. Once again, New Mexican’s lose another provider and the quality of life diminishes. We can’t keep electing people who are not willing to change and protect the taxpayers on New Mexico.

We’ve had a booming stock market for the last 10 years. I’d hate to see that come to an end. Market forecasters say a Democrat victory in the House and Senate could reduce stock market value by as much as $2 trillion. Voters should keep that in mind.

Check out @GreggHullforNM's common-sense plan to eliminate NM's Personal Income Tax while Deb Haaland has no plan and instead whines about Donald Trump. errorsofenchantment.com/greg… @1housestrauss

Have New Mexican’s become so partisan and ignorant to facts that we are willing to pay legislators that are telling us that they want to increase our taxes? We will see soon enough. Please go vote.

The bleed continues, slower than it was but still bleeding doctors.
New Mexico lost 248 doctors from 2019 to 2024, the only state in the country to go backward. Of those thinking about leaving, 8 in 10 point to punitive damages from malpractice lawsuits. That's the system trial lawyers built. For years, they fought to keep damages uncapped and liability wide open. Every verdict made them richer and made it harder to practice medicine here. In Clayton, the local hospital was rejected by more than 40 insurers before finding malpractice coverage at nearly five times the cost. As one hospital leader put it: "The patients go to Texas, and the lawyers come to New Mexico." This year, lawmakers from both parties finally passed reform. The trial lawyers fought it every step of the way, and they're already working to roll it back. If they succeed, the next doctor to leave might be yours. #NewMexico #nmpol

I had the privilege of sitting and listening to RFKJr. Thursday night in Dallas. It was a very powerful speech, full of data and facts. He is the real deal and he is trying to do what he believes is the right thing to do. I appreciate his backbone.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: RFK Jr. said Democrats abandoned every traditional value for one policy… sociopathic, blind hatred of Donald Trump. They were so sure Trump hate alone could win that they turned government into incompetence and corruption. IT’S SANE VERSUS INSANE. He said they fleeced medical agencies for about $100 billion a year under Biden, somehow lost 360,000 children, and turned federal power into a trafficking nightmare. His father and uncle would not recognize the party. Lawfare hit Trump 50 times in 38 states, and they sued RFK in 12 states. After he endorsed Trump and tried to leave ballots, they sued to KEEP him on. They canceled primaries, locked out debates, and anointed Kamala with no primary votes. Party of no kings. Queen by decree. That is why he is here. Common sense over communism. Restore democracy for real.

In the last ten years 12,000,000 have moved into Texas. All the while, New Mexico while led by failing democrat leadership is stagnant at 2,000,000. For the last ten years we have not grown. Why because we have failed to offer a future. Sad. Our people leave and very few enter. Many feel trapped.
