GOVERNOR JOB-HUNTING IN WASHINGTON INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH HOME CRISES
| Albuquerque, June 2—Gov. Lujan Grisham’s decision to get married last month in Washington, DC while her home state is literally burning is nothing less than political expediency. It’s no surprise Lujan Grisham jetted off during a state crisis because she’s always been about advancing her political career and the national agenda. This latest trip again manifests the Governor’s desire to seek a national job at the expense of the state. She’s interviewing for Washington positions just like she did when she was drooling over the prospect of becoming U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary the instant President Biden was elected. Lujan Grisham again abandoned New Mexicans to seek greater political opportunity. For months, the deadly wildfires have consumed hundreds of thousands of acres in New Mexico. The Calf Canyon-Hermits Peak Fire near Las Vegas, New Mexico alone has burned more than 315,000 acres–the largest blaze in New Mexico history. Families are displaced, hundreds of homes destroyed, and officials worry about the long-term impact on our state. Firefighting costs have surpassed $135 million—and climb by $5 million daily. More and more communities continue to be threatened by the massive wildfires, while thousands of firefighters battle the relentless flames. That’s when our Governor takes off to get married in the nation’s capital. Vice President Kamala Harris even officiated the wedding. “New Mexicans deserve a governor who will not be an absentee landlord. We need a leader who will put our state first, not personal political aspirations,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “Lujan Grisham should be paying attention to our crime crisis, our education crisis, our CYFD disaster, our soaring unemployment rate and our burning state instead of running for governor again while interviewing for a Washington job.” |
