| Albuquerque, February 14—The Republican Party of New Mexico is calling on Rep. Georgene Louis (D-Albuquerque) to resign from her District 26 NM House seat after she was arrested and charged today with aggravated drunken driving. Rep. Louis also faces charges of speeding and failing to produce vehicle registration and insurance. The DWI charges come as lawmakers look to wrap up important bills and business during these final days of the 2022 legislative session. The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce: “Rep. Louis should do the right thing and resign from her House seat. She faces criminal charges, and this kind of behavior does not coincide with that of a responsible public servant. Rep. Louis has violated the public trust, let down her constituents and endangered the lives of innocents. New Mexico deserves better. Aggravated drunken driving is a serious offense, and Rep. Louis must step down.” |
