| Albuquerque, July 28—The Republican Party of New Mexico issued the following statement regarding the search warrants served at the home of NM House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton as part of a state corruption investigation: “Elected officials at all levels ask for and receive public trust. It’s one of the most basic elements of successful self-governance. When that trust is violated by any elected official, it affects the public trust of all elected officials. The allegations against Rep. Williams Stapleton involve this public trust and as such must be taken seriously, but not all of the facts are out. We must wait for more information and for the investigation to take its course. If the allegations prove true, they are a disturbing violation of the sacred public trust.” |
