| Albuquerque, September 30—Tonight Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti demonstrated why he is the clear choice to serve as New Mexico’s next governor. During KOB-TV’s debate, Ronchetti offered real solutions to today’s serious problems created by Gov. Lujan Grisham. The face-off touched on key issues such as crime, pre-trial detention, cost of living, education, child welfare and homelessness. Ronchetti provided specifics and offered a clear vision for the state’s future. He exposed Lujan Grisham’s poor record, one that’s hurt New Mexicans and their families. Ronchetti showed how Lujan Grisham’s policies have cost jobs, lost businesses, raised taxes and destroyed New Mexico’s economy. In particular, he exposed Lujan Grisham on her poor performance regarding CYFD, and the Administration’s cover-ups involving that embattled department. Ronchetti also pointed out that the big government surpluses we have been experiencing are not helping average New Mexicans. The Governor seemed flustered, lost at times, and had difficulty defending her record, as Ronchetti continued to display how her progressive policies have devastated the state. “It is crystal clear from tonight’s debate that Mark Ronchetti deserves to become our next governor,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “Mark has a firm grasp of the issues and understands how to solve the many problems created by Lujan Grisham. It’s evident that the Governor is out of touch with her constituents and continues to deflect when confronted about her weak record. This governor has simply failed New Mexicans: she has lied, failed to improve our state, stripped us of our freedoms and has kept New Mexico in the cellar nationally. It’s time we set our priorities straight and do something to get this state back on track. We all deserve better, and Mark Ronchetti will get New Mexico moving forward and will tackle the serious crises we face today.” |
