ALBUQUERQUE, AUGUST 14 — Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce today released the following statement regarding New Mexico-based oil and gas industry leaders calling for the removal or resignation of Ryan Flynn as Executive Director of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association (NMOGA):
“The Republican Party of New Mexico stands with the leaders of our locally owned firms in the oil and gas industry who have lost confidence in Ryan Flynn for supporting progressive Democrats like Rep. Xochitl Torres Small who seek to ban fracking and for giving thousands of dollars to industry opponents like Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and House Speaker Brian Egolf. I commend them in calling for his resignation and I hope the NMOGA Board of Directors takes their concerns seriously.”
