🚨 @SenatorLujan is trying to run out the clock by continuing to avoid a debate with Larry Marker. Voters deserve more from New Mexico Democrats than just the usual "No Show" routine.
⬇️ RPNM releases the following statement ⬇️
For your Labor Day weekend listening I sat down w/ @ElectMarker and asked him questions about the federal debt, tariffs, congressional deference to the executive, and more. I came away impressed w/ him based on his thoughtful responses. Check it out! https://t.co/0WFT2oUFec
.@ICEgov arrested Edgar Chacon-Miranda in Santa Fe, and @NMDEMS immediately erupted in outrage over the arrest.
What they left out: Chacon-Miranda was previously charged with rape, domestic violence and child abuse. Those charges never went to trial because prosecutors failed to move the case forward.
This is the result of years of soft-on-crime leadership. Serious cases fall apart, victims are failed, and dangerous allegations never get their day in court.
Now Democrats are attacking ICE instead of demanding answers for how a case this serious was allowed to collapse. Their outrage is aimed at law enforcement, while the alleged victim and children are treated like an afterthought.
That is a disgraceful set of priorities, and New Mexicans should remember exactly who Democrats chose to stand up for.

Deb Haaland, Melanie Stansbury, and the rest of the communists and crazies that have hijacked the Democrat Party (now the DSA) are supporting a child-abusing rapist criminal illegal alien over woman and children.
You can’t make this up.
Save our state, vote Red in November

Say no to the Socialist Progressives running to take over New Mexico once and for all. I'm running for the US Senate to restore freedom, prosperity, and American values to our state.
Ronnie Lucero on Facebook:
An idea for my friends at the NM GOP.
New Mexico has an opportunity most states could only dream of: enormous permanent funds, record energy revenues, and the ability to fundamentally change how we tax our economy.
It’s time to start talking about a 10-year plan to ELIMINATE New Mexico’s state Gross Receipts Tax.
Here’s how:
➡️ Immediately eliminate GRT on legitimate business to business transactions. Stop taxing businesses simply for doing business with other New Mexico businesses.
➡️ Reduce the state GRT rate roughly half a point at a time over the next decade, eventually taking the state rate to ZERO.
➡️ Cap the growth of recurring state spending and force government to live within sustainable revenue growth instead of creating new permanent spending every time oil revenues surge.
➡️ Review tax credits, subsidies, and special-interest carveouts. If an incentive isn’t producing measurable jobs or investment, taxpayers shouldn’t be financing it.
➡️ Protect the principal of our permanent funds while using responsible growth in investment distributions to reduce our dependence on GRT.
➡️ Put excess oil and gas revenue into permanent and stabilization funds instead of building bigger government around temporary boom-year revenues.
➡️ Protect cities and counties during the transition so police, firefighters, roads, and essential local services aren’t suddenly left without funding.
➡️ If replacement revenue is still necessary, transition toward a very low tax on FINAL retail consumption not a system that taxes businesses repeatedly throughout the production chain.
And every scheduled tax reduction would have fiscal safeguards. If revenues or reserves fall below predetermined levels, the next reduction pauses rather than creating a budget crisis.
The goal isn't to replace every dollar of GRT with another tax.
The goal is to NEED LESS TAX REVENUE while growing the private economy.
Imagine being able to tell companies across America:
Come to New Mexico.
Build here.
Hire here.
Invest here.
No state GRT on business to business transactions. Eventually, no state Gross Receipts Tax at all. Lower costs to hire workers. A responsible state government backed by one of the strongest permanent-fund systems in America.
Instead of politicians deciding which companies deserve special tax breaks, let's build a tax system that makes New Mexico competitive for EVERY business.
Texas shouldn't automatically win the next factory, corporate headquarters, technology company, or major expansion.
Let's compete.
Let's grow the private sector.
Let's make New Mexico one of the best states in America to start a business, hire a worker, and invest.
That's how you build an economy for the next generation not by continuously raising taxes to pay for continuously bigger government.

@GovMLG When every major state agency responsible for children—ECECD, CYFD, and Public Ed—is failing or embroiled in scandals, it’s not an accident. It’s a complete failure of leadership.
Our kids are not in safe hands under @NMDEMS ideology or programs. #NMpol#NewMexico
@SenatorLujan There might be some truth that insurance premiums bump $10-15/month for some seniors but it's your lack of problem solving skills we continue to notice and so do New Mexicans.
Your response to problems is whining publicly and placing blame.
A true leader would call @GovMLG and recommend TrumpRx and no tax on social security. Problem solved... You're welcome. Next... #nmpol #newmexico
Today is the FIRST DAY we get a break from the LIE that Chaco Canyon is FOR SALE and the ever so stupid “Hands off Chaco Canyon.” The Navajo People will have their mineral rights restored from the HANDS of the previous administration and Deb Haaland who with a stroke of pen, cost the Navajo people MILLIONS in mineral rights revenue. The same people who tell you that the native population is struggling and needs resources are the same people who cut off the revenue stream to natives. Go figure.
🚨 A story that is not getting nearly enough attention 🚨
New Mexico is just one of 5 states that has OPTED OUT of certain tax breaks President Trump has ALREADY DELIVERED.
Read the article below by the @nypost. RPNM is quoted expressing outrage at this incredible betrayal by New Mexico Democrats.

@DebHaalandNM CYFD is a cabinet agency handpicked by @GovMLG—an agency run entirely by your own party for nearly 8 years. So calling out a failing, inexperienced, and untrained staff is a look in the mirror.
You don't get to campaign as the "rescue mission" for a system your own political network built and managed into the ground. #NMpol #NewMexico
But if you abolish CYFD the same people who allowed this monstrosity to hurt our children in the first place would simply replace it with the same chaos. You can't expect different outcomes with the same corrupt elite class in charge.
CYFD sent a 15-year-old across the border to an abusive parent. This isn’t a “process failure.” It’s a failure of leadership. The same so-called leadership that has put us last in the nation in every category. Our children deserve better than endless excuses. #nmpol
50th in education. Near the top in property crime. Thousands of disconnected youth. Opioid settlement money unaccounted for.
What exactly has the current approach delivered for New Mexican families? Time for results, not more of the same.
Opioid settlement dollars keep disappearing into the New Mexico bureaucratic black hole. No real plan. No real accountability.
In NM, corruption is a feature, not a bug. It's time for full transparency. New Mexicans deserve to know where every dollar went.
Been shouting this from the rooftops for awhile. Money just disappears when it enters the New Mexico bureaucratic hole. Hard to see that as anything other than corruption. Time for transparency.
OUR VIEW: Part of New Mexico's efforts in fighting the opioid epidemic must be as a resource for cities and counties — we need a strategic, statewide plan. And accountability. It’s a problem no dashboard exists to show how settlement dollars are spent. https://t.co/AhOBMNRC5n
