Steve Pearce’s six-year tenure as Chair of the Republican Party of New Mexico unfortunately came to an end following officer elections at the New Mexico GOP’s State Central Committee meeting this past weekend. 

Not very many voters have heard about the radical Republican, but here’s what they should know ahead of tonight’s debate.

According to a recent story in the New Mexico Political Report, Steve Pearce selected Debbie Weh-Maestas, one of the notorious fake electors who tried to give New Mexico’s five electoral votes to Donald Trump in 2020 after he lost the state by 100,000, to be a Republican Party presidential elector yet again! 

 In case you missed it, the All Pueblo Council of Governors (APCG) announced their endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for President and Governor Tim Walz for Vice President late last week. The APCG represents the 20 Pueblos of New Mexico and Texas. 

In case you missed it, the Democratic Party of New Mexico announced its staff’s historic unionization under the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 794 last week. This long overdue announcement reaffirms the commitment of New Mexico Democrats to the values and individuals of the Labor Movement.

Today, the Democratic Party of New Mexico staff announced their unionization under the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) Local Lodge 794. 

The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) covering DPNM staff was carefully crafted to include provisions unique to their political work and responsibilities.

In a stinging column published in the Santa Fe New Mexican, columnist Milan Simonich laid bare the flaws in Nella Domenici’s campaign, calling out her previously flailing campaign strategy of evasion and now, a dangerous alignment with former President and convicted felon Donald Trump. 

Nella's deceptive ad has caught the attention of national reproductive rights groups. Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, weighed in today, releasing a statement condemning the ad:

 Next week, the Democratic Party of New Mexico will send 45 delegates and 3 alternate delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. New Mexico always sends a diverse and geographically representative delegation to our National Convention. But this year, our delegation is exceptionally diverse and representative of our state. 

It’s official: the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is opening up their campaign war chest to prop up Nella Domenici, multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked GOP recruit for Senate in New Mexico. And it’s obvious why: Domenici’s election would give extreme anti-abortion Republicans the majority they need in the Senate to pass a national abortion ban.

Nella Domenici, the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive who left New Mexico 50 years ago and has “spent much of that time working and living in Connecticut and New York,” is facing additional scrutiny about “having lived in Connecticut until just a few years ago,” but—surprising no one—is again refusing to respond to questions.

New Mexico Democrats could not be more thrilled by Vice President Harris’ selection of Tim Walz as her running mate. Governor Walz has been a champion for working and rural Minnesota families, qualities which add relatable life experience and perspective to Harris’ campaign in New Mexico.

Today, Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic Party’s nominee for President after it was announced she had already received most of the Democratic National Convention delegates' virtual vote which started yesterday. All 45 members of the New Mexico delegation voted for Harris.

Nella Domenici continues to stick her head in the sand and refuse to talk about former president Donald Trump, even as his behavior becomes more unhinged, erratic and blatantly racist.

No-Show Nella made front page news last week after she abruptly canceled an appearance on KKOB’s The TJ Trout Show and was recently called out by another radio station for canceling her scheduled appearance not just once, but twice!

Nella Domenici made front-page news in New Mexico this morning after she abruptly canceled an appearance on News Radio KKOB’s The TJ Trout Show.

Nella Domenici released a new ad this morning touting her father’s record on mental health. Domenici’s ad offers no new insights into her own candidacy or agenda, but claims people “don’t want to talk about mental health.” So for those curious, here’s a quick look at Sen. Martin Heinrich’s lengthy record on the issue:

Following a meeting of New Mexico's delegation to the Democratic National Convention held Monday evening, all 45 delegates and 3 alternates are pledged to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for President. Additionally, the entire New Mexico delegation endorses Harris’ candidacy.

Nella Domenici—multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and Donald Trump’s hand-picked GOP recruit for Senate who has a reputation for avoiding interviews with the press—abruptly canceled an appearance on News Radio KKOB’s The TJ Trout Show after having reviewed questions the hosts themselves described as “not that difficult,” “easily answerable,” and “reasonable.”

Today, the Democratic Party of New Mexico Executive Officers, comprising of Chair Jessica Velasquez, Vice Chair Manny Crespin, Treasurer Rayellen Smith, and Secretary Isaac Dakota Casados, released the following statement, joining fellow Democrats in support of Kamala Harris for President of the United States:

Today, Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement on President Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign: 

Today, on the last day of the Republican National Convention, Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released a video statement and corresponding written statement addressing the GOP’s authoritarian Project 2025 vision for another Trump term and the former President’s speech to the Convention. 

Nella Domenici is well on her way to cementing her place as the most out-of-touch candidate to run for public office in New Mexico. From making millions of dollars working on Wall Street, to living in multimillion-dollar properties in Connecticut and New York City after leaving New Mexico fifty years ago, Nella clearly doesn’t understand that most New Mexicans can’t relate to a multimillionaire former hedge fund executive.

Nella Domenici—multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and Donald Trump’s hand-picked GOP recruit for Senate—has confirmed to KOAT that she is attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week, where former President Donald Trump officially secured the GOP presidential nomination earlier today.

Today, on the first day of the Republican National Convention, the Trump Campaign announced that J.D. Vance will join the GOP ticket as their candidate for Vice President. Vance becomes the Republican nominee for Vice President with a historically weak resume but as an unapologetic adherent to the policies that make up the radical Project 2025 policy and social agenda for another Trump term. 

NBC News published a story yesterday about Representative Gabe Vasquez’s new bipartisan bill to reduce the flow of fentanyl at the US-Mexico border.

Today, the U.S. House Republicans passed the SAVE Act, another GOP attempt to place barriers to voting on eligible immigrants, Native Americans, and other voters of color. 

In a scathing op-ed published in the Albuquerque Journal yesterday, New Mexico Republican Tim Fuller sounded the alarm on the “early missteps” of multimillionaire hedge fund executive Nella Domenici’s “lackluster” and “baffling” campaign. 

Last week, Yvette Herrell, GOP candidate for New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, tried to hide her extreme anti-abortion position from voters yet again when questioned by The Santa Fe New Mexican. Herrell falsely told the paper that Gabe Vasquez’s latest ad misrepresents her stance in another attempt to run from her anti-choice record. 

In dueling profiles of Nella Domenici and Senator Martin Heinrich, published on subsequent Sundays in the Albuquerque Journal, a clear picture of the choice facing voters between New Mexico’s two candidates for U.S. Senate emerged.

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement after today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Trump vs. United States:

From highlighting historic infrastructure improvements to protecting fundamental abortion rights, President Joe Biden showed tonight that he continues to deliver landmark achievements that directly benefit New Mexican families and deserves another term. 

During tonight's presidential debate, viewers can expect to hear two contrasting visions for the future of the country, including New Mexico. Joe Biden will continue to fight to protect our freedoms and ensure all Americans have a fair shot. Meanwhile, Trump will make it clear that he would attempt to serve as an egotistical dictator, give tax cuts to corporations and the ultra-wealthy, and attack reproductive rights.

New Mexico Senate GOP Candidate, Who Refuses to Say Whether Or Not She Supports Trump, Displays Controversial “Appeal to Heaven” Flag at Campaign Stop

New Mexico’s biggest newspaper published a profile of Nella Domenici over the weekend and revealed new details about the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive’s multimillion-dollar homes in New York and Connecticut.

Today, on the two-year anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, overturning nearly 50 years of legal protections established in Roe v. Wade and destroying the federally protected right to access safe and legal abortions for Americans in many states, the Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement: 

Yesterday New Mexico’s biggest newspaper published a profile of Nella Domenici, the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and second senior official of Bridgewater Associates to run for U.S. Senate, and it’s full of yet-unreported details about the candidate’s huge disconnect from New Mexico.

The Democratic Party of New Mexico is asking for donations to support relief efforts for the communities impacted by the South Fork and Salt Fires.

Nella Domenici, multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and second senior official of Bridgewater Associates to run for U.S. Senate this year, continues to spend considerable amounts of campaign cash to gloss over her shocking business record as Chief Financial Officer of the world’s largest hedge fund.

This morning former president and convicted felon Donald Trump met with GOP lawmakers in Washington D.C., “boasted about his polling” and said he’s “expanding the map” — to include New Mexico.

Today, the Department of Labor released the latest consumer price index report showing inflation continues to cool under President Joe Biden as consumer prices did not rise in May over April levels.

Nella Domenici, multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and second senior official of Bridgewater Associates to run for U.S. Senate this year, began airing her second TV ad today. The ad offers voters no new information about where she stands on issues important to New Mexico as she continues to avoid her troubling business record.

No-Answer Nella spent the majority of her primary campaign refusing to do interviews with the media and dodging tough questions about issues, instead choosing to spend half a million dollars on a TV ad that conveniently glossed over her troubling record as Chief Financial Officer of Bridgewater Associates.

In case you missed it, Bloomberg reported yesterday that multimillionaire former hedge fund executive Nella Domenici is now the second candidate for senate who served as a senior official at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.

IThe Democratic Party of New Mexico released a new digital ad, “Pinnacle,” that exposes multimillionaire former hedge fund executive and newly-minted GOP nominee for U.S. Senate Nella Domenici’s troubling record as Chief Financial Officer of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.

June 2nd marked 100 years of the Indian Citizenship Act, also known as the Snyder Act, which granted full citizenship to all Native Americans in the United States.

Last night during her primary “victory” speech, multimillionaire hedge fund executive Nella Domenici repeatedly told supporters to “demand more.” We agree: New Mexico voters should demand more answers from No-Answer Nella, including whether or not she’s going to address her troubling record as CFO of scandal-plagued Bridgewater Associates, or if she’s planning to vote for convicted felon Donald Trump.

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement on New Mexico’s primary election

The Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia offered the following statement in response to Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive and former CFO of Bridgewater Associates, officially securing New Mexico’s Republican Party nomination for U.S. Senate: 

No-Answer Nella may have been a no-show for her “Primary Victory Tour” this past weekend, but tonight’s “Primary Victory Party” is the perfect opportunity for the multimillionaire hedge fund executive to finally answer some basic questions for the voters of New Mexico. 

Tonight, Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive and former CFO of Bridgewater Associates, will formally secure New Mexico’s Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. As local and national reporters tune in to the Land of Enchantment’s senate contest, here’s what the media needs to know about Nella Domenici.

Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire former hedge fund executive who parachuted into New Mexico to run for Senate, is currently airing a misleading ad that has already been widely panned by New Mexico political observers as “weak” and “not compelling.”

Going into the last day of early voting across New Mexico tomorrow, Democrats hold a 38.5% difference turnout advantage in absentee and early voting over Republicans statewide according to data from the NM Secretary of State.

No-Answer Nella, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive who built her career on the East Coast, lived up to her name yesterday and refused to answer whether or not she intends to vote for Donald Trump, a convicted felon, for President of the United States. 

Will No-Answer Nella, notorious for dodging tough questions and refusing interviews with mainstream media, tell New Mexicans - point blank - whether or not she intends to vote for Donald Trump, a convicted felon, for President of the United States?

Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire former hedge fund executive who parachuted into New Mexico to run for Senate, is currently spending half a million dollars airing a TV ad across the state that proudly touts her business resume, but makes no mention of the companies she’s worked for. Nella’s ad conveniently ignores her abysmal record at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, which demands more scrutiny to hold her accountable to New Mexico voters.

Today, No-Answer Nella’s first TV ad of her campaign hits the airwaves in New Mexico, kicking off her campaign to buy the election with a half million dollar ad buy. The ad, which glosses over her questionable business record, also misleads voters about her ties to New Mexico, and gives voters no new clues about where she stands on issues.

Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive who recently moved to New Mexico to run for office, released her first ad today, touting her ascent to Chief Financial Officer of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. 

No-Answer Nella is banking on her last name, deep pockets and business resumé to buy her way into office this November. But a cursory look at her latest campaign finance report has us baffled. It appears the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive—the former Chief Financial Officer of the world’s largest hedge fund—can’t manage her own campaign’s basic financial reporting.

Today, the defense rested their case in Trump’s New York hush money criminal trial without the MAGA former president taking the stand. However, Trump has not been silent on the campaign trail so far this week, teasing his MAGA followers with more Nazi-inspired messaging and openness to banning contraceptives, and it’s only Tuesday. 

126 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive has only doubled down on voter concerns that she’s out of touch with New Mexico.

Nella’s candidacy checks some boxes that point to being another failed MAGA candidate too extreme for New Mexico: 

Today, the Democratic Party of New Mexico honors the incredible life of former Jicarilla Apache Nation President and Vietnam Veteran Edward Velarde as he is laid to rest.

As her campaign stumbles into day 117, No-Answer Nella still refuses to answer some of the most pressing questions voters have been asking the self-funded candidate for months. But what little we do know about Nella’s political stances point to a close alignment with Trump’s MAGA agenda. 

Last week, Donald Trump gave an interview to Time that revealed a shocking glimpse of his plans for a potential second term. After 113 days on the campaign trail, voters still do not know much about where No-Answer Nella stands on issues, but it’s clear that the candidate, who moved back to New Mexico while being recruited to run by national Trump allies, has more in common with the former president than she wants to admit.

In case you missed it, a personal finance disclosure filed Monday by former hedge fund executive Nella Domenici and her husband confirms the former hedge fund manager is worth up to an eye-popping $94 million dollars, raising even more concerns about her recent return to the state to run for political office.

Today marks the second anniversary of the leak of the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization when the country learned that Donald Trump would succeed in his cruel plot to rip away reproductive freedom, and the aftermath has been nothing short of horrific.

Last Saturday, the Republican Party of New Mexico held their Quadrennial Convention in to select their delegates to the Republican National Convention and their five presidential electors, chosen by NM GOP Chair “Amarillo” Steve Pearce and confirmed by the NM GOP Executive Committee. Among the five electors chosen was Debbie Weh-Maestas, one of New Mexico’s notorious fake electors who partook in a scheme to falsely award New Mexico’s electoral votes to Donald Trump after he lost.

As No-Answer Nella’s campaign for U.S. Senate passes the 100-day mark, voters still have not heard any specifics from the self-funded candidate, even on the most important issues like where she stands on abortion and whether or not she supports Trump. After 103 days, it’s clear that No-Answer Nella refuses to be upfront with voters. 

Earlier today, the Democratic Party of New Mexico released the official Call for the 2024 Post-Primary Conventions, beginning the process of electing New Mexicans to represent our state at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19th to the 22nd.

Several weeks since No-Answer Nella dodged a real stance  on abortion rights and voting for Trump in an interview with the Rio Grande Sun, the GOP candidate still refuses to give voters any specifics. 

But what we have heard from Nella so far is that she plans to campaign on her last name and time in East Coast boardrooms, alarmingly out of touch with everyday New Mexicans.

Happy Earth Day! In New Mexico, we may take it for granted that we live in one of the most breathtaking places on earth. From White Sands, Shiprock, the Gila Wilderness, Carlsbad Caverns, the Rio Grande Valley, and so many more natural treasures, we are lucky that no one in our state has to go far to see why we are the Land of Enchantment.  

No Answer Nella’s first quarterly FEC filing of her campaign revealed that she not only inflated her fundraising numbers to the press but also accepted a campaign donation from one of New Mexico’s notorious fake electors who partook in a scheme to falsely award New Mexico’s electoral votes to Donald Trump after he lost the 2020 presidential election. 

Today, as campaign finance reports for candidates running for federal office nationwide were made public, No-Answer Nella’s FEC report for the first quarter of 2024 was $129,000 short of what her campaign initially shared with press before the report was available to the public.

Yesterday, Donald Trump gave an interview where he once again proudly took credit for the abortion bans we have seen in 21 states across the country, the majority of which have no exception for rape or incest. He also clarified his latest position on abortion, which is much more than can be said about No-Answer Nella, who refuses to take any real stance on the issue.

It is no surprise that Speaker Johnson is throwing all his support behind Herrell, he knows that she will vote for his agenda and would even help him gut social security, which thousands of New Mexicans rely on.

70 days into her campaign for the U.S. Senate, No-Answer Nella finally gave her first interview to Artesia station KSVR Wednesday, where she refused to say where she stands on key issues yet lamented the struggles of CEO’s and highlighted her time in East Coast boardrooms. In a Rio Grande Sun article that covered her trip to Artesia, Nella refused to give direct answers when asked about her stance on abortion and attitude toward Trump.

“Today’s Supreme Court hearing is a stark reminder that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are using every avenue possible to ban abortion nationwide and devastate reproductive freedom. This case could strip away access to medication abortion everywhere in this country, including New Mexico, which would be the biggest step toward their extreme goal since Trump overturned Roe v. Wade.

Ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court hearing on the future of access to Mifepristone, we can count on No-Answer Nella to say nothing on the matter as she remains silent in hopes that voters won’t have a position to hold her accountable for.

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of New Mexico will celebrate the 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans have relied on the Affordable Care Act for the health care coverage they need for 14 years now. But if Donald Trump gets another term, he will do anything he can to eliminate the Affordable Care Act and New Mexican families' access to critical care.

Every chance he gets, Trump demonizes and attacks immigrants, even saying they’re ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’ If he gets his way, Trump will separate families, build mass detention camps, and round up immigrants – all while doing absolutely nothing to secure our border or make our communities safer.

In case you missed it, the Huffington Post caught Yvette Herrell, radical GOP candidate for New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, red-handed trying to hide her extreme stance on abortion from voters last week. However, her scheme to hide from her anti-choice record without New Mexicans noticing failed.

54 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, “No-Answer Nella” has unequivocally leaned into her well-deserved nickname as she has remarkably still not given a single interview. At this point, voters should question if Nella is even taking running to represent New Mexico seriously. 

Tonight, President Joe Biden recapped some of the landmark accomplishments from his first term as President and outlined goals of the Biden-Harris Administration going forward. From rebuilding infrastructure to protecting fundamental abortion rights, the Biden-Harris administration has delivered landmark achievements that have directly benefited New Mexican families.

Trying to counter her campaign’s reputation of ducking accountability, Nella published an op-ed in the Albuquerque Journal over the weekend. Even in her op-ed titled, “New Mexico needs a moderate bipartisan senator like my dad,” Nella alluded to issues facing our state while failing to provide readers with a single concrete idea about how to solve them.  

40 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, No-Answer Nella still has yet to explain to New Mexicans where she stands on the most important issues facing our state and country. But actions speak louder than words (and certainly more than silence), and her actions show an extreme, far-right stance on reproductive health care that would decimate these rights in New Mexico. 

Earlier this week, President Biden and Vice President Harris announced $5.8 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand access to clean drinking water, replace lead pipes, improve wastewater infrastructure, and remove PFAS contamination in water across the country as part of the largest investment in clean water in American history.

In the 2024 30-day Legislative Session, Democrats made huge leaps forward for the well-being of our communities and environment that advance our core party values. DPNM could not be more proud of all the hard work of the Democrats in the New Mexico House and Senate and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. 

33 days into her campaign for US Senate, Nella Domenici has yet to answer a single interview question from the press. While most candidates for office are typically eager to discuss their priorities, voters in New Mexico still have not heard a word directly from the GOP East Coast Elitist.  

Today is Filing Day for federal candidates across New Mexico. Candidates for the offices of U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative are required by state statute to submit nominating petitions and file with the NM Secretary of State’s Office to be eligible for the 2024 partisan primary ballot.

Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez issued the following statement on Nella Domenici’s entrance into the Senate Republican primary:

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement on today's NM Supreme Court redistricting decision: “We are glad that the State Supreme Court ordered that the District Court’s redistricting decision will be upheld, hopefully putting to rest months of frivolous distractions from Steve Pearce’s New Mexico Republican Party."

Another Trump Presidency Would Mean More Division and Harmful Immigration Policies that Hurt Hardworking New Mexico Families. Donald Trump has been openly unapologetic about the extreme, racist, and deeply out-of-touch policies he plans to implement if elected.

Tomorrow, November 15th, marks the two-year anniversary of President Biden signing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Democratic Party of New Mexico is celebrating one of the President’s most historic accomplishments and the jobs and infrastructure improvements it has brought to New Mexico. 

Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement on the election of Mike Johnson as US House Speaker: “After weeks of chaos, the Republican House majority caved to the MAGA extremists in their party and chose Mike Johnson, an inexperienced individual who worked hand-in-hand with Trump to undermine our democracy and overturn a free and fair election."

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa and Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez issued the following joint statement on Greg Abbott’s latest border distraction: “Earlier this month, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the placement of razor wire fencing along the Texas-New Mexico border north of the Rio Grande near Sunland Park, NM. It’s clear that Governor Abbott has no plans on actually addressing our broken immigration system head on.."

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement reacting to the Republican Party of New Mexico's redistricting lawsuit loss: “It is no surprise that the New Mexico Republican Party lost its bogus lawsuit attempting to throw out competitive, fairly-drawn maps. Steve Pearce’s defunct Republican Party of New Mexico is merely looking to place blame somewhere for their recent election losses."

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement on the passing of Governor Bill Richardson: “It is a sad day for New Mexico Democrats as we remember the life and mourn the passing of Governor Bill Richardson. Governor Richardson was a larger-than-life public figure who always put public service first."

Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement after tonight’s GOP presidential primary debate: “We saw at tonight’s debate how far to the right Republicans have come. Logic and facts have no place in today’s GOP. The legacy of division and insurrection of the elephant who was not in the room was on full display."

Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia released the following statement ahead of Wednesday’s GOP presidential primary debate: “Even though Donald Trump will not participate in the GOP primary debate as he has more pressing matters to attend to, the rest of the field has eagerly embraced his radical MAGA brand and worldview."

Today, President Joe Biden delivered remarks at the Arcosa Wind Tower facility outside of Belen, highlighting the Inflation Reduction Act and his administration’s historic work to expand clean energy and manufacturing. “Yvette Herrell voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, making it clear she’ll follow the national GOP before standing up for New Mexicans every time, while Democrats and President Biden are mobilizing historic investment in clean energy and manufacturing.”

New Mexico Democrats are thrilled that President Biden is visiting our state to discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act invests in communities like ours to create a historic boom to New Mexico’s clean energy industries,” said Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia.

Hear it from the Congressman himself: Gabe Vasquez delivers for New Mexico: In the latest episode of DPNM's monthly video newsletter, The Blue Opiñon, Congressman Gabe Vasquez chats with DPNM Chair Jessica Velasquez about his travels across New Mexico's Second Congressional District and his most significant accomplishments during his prolific first term in Congress.

Today, the US Department of Education released state-by-state data on the number of borrowers who are eligible for automatic loan relief under fixes to Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans implemented by the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure all borrowers have an accurate count of the number of monthly payments that qualify toward forgiveness. This includes 5410 borrowers in New Mexico who are eligible for a total of $260,300,300 in automatic student loan relief.

The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement reacting to recent US Supreme Court decisions: "In just one term, Donald Trump appointed 3 of the conservative US Supreme Court justices who ruled today to strike down student loan forgiveness and that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQIA+ Americans, not to mention yesterday’s decision to cripple affirmative action and the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade last year."

Today marks one year since the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, overturning nearly 50 years of legal protections established in Roe vs. Wade and destroying the federally-protected right to access safe and legal abortions for Americans in many states. The Supreme Court’s decision one year ago today stole the right to decide when and how they may choose to grow a family from countless Americans.

The Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America Agenda – including the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act – is delivering historic results for New Mexicans. Under President Biden’s and Democrats’ leadership, New Mexico is seeing steady and stable economic growth with good-paying jobs, more manufacturing, and small businesses booming – and working families are saving money as a result.

"Donald Trump, by far the leading GOP Presidential candidate, was indicted again today," said Daniel Garcia, Spokesperson for the Democratic Party of New Mexico. "While the legal system is holding Trump accountable with yet another indictment, it will be up to Republican primary voters to hold him accountable for his failure as an incompetent and divisive President."

Today, over 400 Democrats, mostly members of the governing body of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, the State Central Committee (SCC), convened at the Albuquerque Convention Center to conduct official Party business, including the announcement of the election results for Party officer positions.
