At present, New Mexico has a one-party state government. The Democrat Party controls both houses of the legislature and the office of the governor.
This one-party rule is called a trifecta. A trifecta is defined by Ballotpedia as:
State government trifecta is a term to describe single-party government, when one political party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.
When I first moved to New Mexico in 2018, the Democrats controlled both houses of the state legislature, but the governor was a Republican.
California is a one-party Democrat state and has been since 2011. It is a perfect example of how the left wing Democrats have badly ran the state with no checks and balances. Spending has gone wild, taxes have skyrocketed, regulations are choking the populace driving many to flee the state, high unemployment and is suffering a housing crisis. Businesses are also leaving California. Gasoline is the highest in the nation. Refineries are shutting down. Small wonder people refer to California as Commiefornia.
If Deb Haaland wins in November and the Democrats maintain their majorities, New Mexico can possibly face the same radical policies that already ruined California.
DON'T CALIFORNICATE NEW MEXICO!
