GOP Challengers Against NM Senators Munoz and Sanchez

This evening, I was pleased to read a post by Cibola County Commissioner Robert S. Windhorst that voters have some Republican choices in the upcoming election for New Mexico State Senate. The candidates are going up against incumbent Democrats George Munoz and Clemente Sanchez, who voted in recent legislative sessions against the best interests of their constituents and the people of New Mexico in general.

Windhorst wrote:

I read with interest, an article in a liberal Albuquerque Newspaper, about groups within the democrat party going after five different State Democrat Senators that are apparently not trusted to be "left enough" for the New Socialist Democrat Party of New Mexico. 

Two of these democrats represent both Cibola and McKinley County, Senator's George "red flag" Munoz and Clemente "ETA" Sanchez. 

In the past I was 75% satisfied with the way these two Senators vote. But in the past two legislative sessions they have sparked an outcry from many citizens for their lack of courage to do what is right and not just what the Governor wants. They have both consistently raised taxes on the backs of New Mexicans that already have a hard time making it in this State! For being educated men, I expected them to use common sense and not expand New Mexico's Government, which they did! 

When Clemente Sanchez voted for the Energy Transition Act during the 2019 legislative session, I knew our State was in for some very big challenges. The Representatives from Districts 6 and 69 couldn't help themselves but to vote for this awful bill also. What happened shortly after that legislation was passed? Tri State Generating Plant decided it was a great time to announce a closing of their plant, costing over a hundred good jobs and destabilizing the local coal industry and hurting the Paper Mill! George Munoz didn't vote for the ETA, but that didn't stop him from voting for a bad gun bill in 2019 and voting for the notorious "red flag bill" this past legislative session. 

Not left enough? A year ago over 790 people poured into the great room for a Cibola County Commission meeting to show their support for a resolution that would make Cibola County a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County! Democrats and Republicans joined together to fight the forces that we perceived were seeking to destroy our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. This resolution passed 4-1! George Munoz forgot about this and voted for two bad gun bills in two years despite of what his constituents wanted. 

These two Senators are being challenged by members of their own democrat party in the upcoming primary. George Munoz is being challenged by Republican Angela Olive. Clemente Sanchez is being challenged by two good republicans, Kelly Noble Zuni and Josh Sanchez*. Nothing personal, just giving New Mexicans a choice!

I live in George Munoz's district and know first hand his betrayal of his constituents on the "red flag" bill and will work for the election of Angela Olive.
