JUNE 4—The Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce issued the following statement at the closing of the primary election:
“On behalf of the Republican Party of New Mexico, I extend heartfelt gratitude to all the Republican candidates who answered the selfless call to run for office and serve the great people of our state. Every candidate displayed hard work and dedication while engaging with their communities during this primary. Whether they won their race or not, all of their efforts warrant recognition and respect.
I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to all of the primary winners. We have one of the strongest slates of candidates we’ve ever had, and they’re prepared to work hard to win in very competitive races this year.
It’s clear from the momentum building for Republicans that New Mexicans are fed up with paying double for groceries, feeling scared of falling victim to crime, and seeing the invasion at the southern border. This is shaping up to be the most critical election of our lifetime and we’re confident that our candidates will perform strongly in November.”
