During the Coronavirus pandemic, the RepublicanParty of NewMexico encourages everyone to take precautions, practice safe health measures and do what’s required to protect oneself and families. The Party stresses that the health and safety of all New Mexicans are paramount. Therefore, the Party is currently conducting operations and communications remotely. The Party continues its mission and engagement, but will utilize virtual/remote practices for outreach, projects, campaign events and other initiatives.
REPUBLICANPARTY OPPOSES COUNTY CLERKS’ MOVE TO ASK THE NEWMEXICO SUPREME COURT TO HOLD MAIL-IN BALLOT PRIMARY
The RepublicanParty opposes a request by more than two dozen county clerks to ask the Supreme Court for an emergency order to have a mail-in ballot Primary. The workers say the Coronavirus has put their jobs and the voters’ health at risk.
While everyone understands and appreciates the health and safety concerns during this pandemic, a vote-by-mail (VBM) election in NewMexico provides no security and no ability to control who votes once the ballots are mailed to every registered voter. The Party believes this motion bypasses the legislature and that a mail-in election would invite fraud and other issues. The Party does support what the law currently allows–mail-in absentee ballots.
GUN STORES AND GUN RIGHTS SUPPORTERS FIRED UP OVER ‘NON-ESSENTIAL’ BUSINESS CLOSINGS
Some gun stores in California are open and another Blue State, New Jersey, is opening these businesses, so why won’t this happen in NewMexico? Is NewMexico further left than the Golden State now? Among Gov. Lujan Grisham’s recent decrees during this pandemic is to shut down non-essential businesses. It seems those include gun stores, and that’s raised some questions around our state. This is problematic, as many New Mexicans feel unsafe and insecure at this time and should have the ability to purchase firearms and ammunition for protective reasons.
“The blanket order for nonessential business is understandable,” said RepublicanParty of NewMexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “But we believe the inclusion of gun stores as non-essential should be reconsidered to allow people to purchase protective firearms.”
NEWMEXICO COUNTY DECIDES TO RELEASE SOME INMATES DURING CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
The Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque is releasing some of its inmates considered vulnerable to coronavirus. The MDC identified 86 inmates who met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines for the medical risk of the virus. It seems 46 of 86 inmates are facing violent charges which deem them ineligible for release.
Nevertheless, this is tough to believe. Do we really want to release suspects who not only might jeopardize the health of the public but have the propensity to commit crimes?
CALL TO ACTION: Contact the County Commissioners and tell them NO to releasing inmates in these dangerous times:
PRESIDENT TRUMP APPROVES NEW U.S. ARMY FIELD HOSPITAL FOR NEWMEXICO
President Trump is making things happen here in NewMexico in the fight against Coronavirus. Trump has told Gov. Lujan Grisham that he will grant her request for a U.S. Army field hospital in Albuquerque. She had asked the Department of Defense for the 248-bed hospital last week, citing concerns about NewMexico hospitals’ ability to absorb a surge of novel coronavirus cases. Another example of how the President is taking charge and taking action to help the nation in need.

PARTICIPATE IN A TRUMP VIRTUAL EVENT AND HELP PROTECT OUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
Get fired up and fire back!
Too many people are taking aim at our beloved Constitution and have put our 2nd Amendment in their crosshairs.
Our right to bear arms is under attack: Red Flag laws, left-leaning agendas pushed by policymakers and dangerous liberal platforms of 2020 Democratic Presidential candidates—it’s all becoming the progressives’ ammunition to shoot down our God-given rights and Constitutional freedoms. They’re undermining a way of life long supported by law-abiding patriots, sportsmen and gun enthusiasts for generations in this great nation.
Now, this is your opportunity to fight back and stand up with President Donald J. Trump as we all defend and protect our 2nd Amendment rights! And your voices will be heard!
You’re invited to attend a VIRTUAL 2nd Amendment Coalition Conference Call on Thursday, April 2nd from 7:00 – 8:00 pm! Credentials for this virtual meeting will be issued On April 1, by 4 pm MT.

Committee to elect Audrey Trujillo
677 W. MEADOWLARK LN CORRALES NM 87048
Audrey’s family values of service and creating safe communities for future generations led her to spend seventeen years raising her three children as an active community advocate and homemaker. From volunteering in the Corrales public schools to testifying in front of the city council, and fighting against far left legislation at the Capitol, Audrey used her experience and education in Justice Administration to bring a voice to tough issues in the community, and educate future generations on being positive role models in society. After watching the current representative for District 23 disrespect local sheriffs and deceive constituents about his unconstitutional “red flag” bill, Audrey decided to run for the NewMexico House of Representatives and return power back to the people of District 23.
As a retired Albuquerque Reserve Police Officer, he is familiar with what makes criminals fear. McMath is currently certified by the NewMexico Department of Public Safety as a Concealed Carry Instructor. His standing on 2nd amendment rights align with the majority of Sheriffs across the state. “I oppose efforts to restrict gun rights from law abiding citizens. I support effective laws that make our cities and rural areas safer,” he says.
Ellis McMath is a Navy Veteran, former NewMexico State University Commercial Pilot and retired FAA Air Traffic Controller. He states, “I am dedicated to common sense, compassionate, conservative causes. I support right to life, 2nd amendment rights, small government, fewer taxes and more personal freedom for law abiding citizens. I am against government overreach and progressive socialist ideals.”
Ellis McMath has been actively involved in the leadership of non-profit work and is a team leader at Sagebrush Church. He has actively participated in Dan Lewis’s campaign for Mayor and Brenda Boatman’s House District race. He has also testified in legislative committees during recent sessions.
