This evening I attended a house party for Alan Webber, who is running for Governor of New Mexico. He's a progressive Democrat. Our current Republican Governor Susana Martinez is funded by oil & gas companies and the Koch Brothers. She polls well but those numbers are thin, in my humble opinion. We need to mount a strong campaign to defeat her. We need to get Alan Webber to first win the primary, then get the word out & run a strong grass roots campaign for Governor. Most New Mexicans I know want us to lead the southwest for good paying jobs and attracting good companies like solar energy that provide a better future and better jobs.

(11,833 posts)Martinez voted against increasing the minimum wage in New Mexico. She is funded by oil & gas companies and the Koch Brothers. Her 'education policy' is a blueprint of the Jeb Bush nonsense that isn't working in FL and doesn't work here. We've got to defeat her this next election.
New Mexicans voted for President Obama twice. Prior to Martinez we had a Democratic Governor. We've got to elect another one. Alan Webber is the most progressive candidate running for Governor in New Mexico.
