After a late drive back from Las Cruces on Thursday, we hit the ground running Friday night with the Young Republicans in Albuquerque!
There is nothing quite like being in a room full of energetic young conservatives passionate about ideas, solutions, and moving New Mexico forward. The future of our state is bright because of the dedication of this next generation.
Our campaign is truly blessed to have one of their best, Bill Zagar, working on our team. Thank you, Bill, for your leadership, hard work, and commitment! You have an incredibly bright future ahead!
Onward, New Mexico. 🇺🇸

Hello Team NM,
Ask if public resources were used. Then ask if BOND 3 state promotion with a registered PAC is legal. Where is the line?
NM law prohibits public officers and employees from using government property “for other than authorized purposes.” — NMSA § 10-16-3.1(C)
Do state-funded university websites, employees, and resources carrying PAC campaign-branded BOND 3 collateral cross that line?
Have you observed university administrators meeting with businesses and groups pushing BOND 3 and telling people "No tax rate increase" yet millions of dollars will be dispersed in the name of "higher education"?
That deserves independent review—not a campaign talking point. #nmpol #newmexico

Welp, @RepGabeVasquez @Gabe_NM @NMDEMS @cunninghamfornm @NewMexicoGOP, sometimes you have to give the people what they want!

We are officially one week away from Election Day! 🗳️
Over the past few months traveling across New Mexico, I’ve heard you loud and clear: you want fair, accurate, and trustworthy elections, and a Secretary of State’s office that treats every New Mexican with fairness and respect.
As your Secretary of State, I will:
✅ Keep voter rolls clean and accurate while protecting every lawful voter
✅ Support common-sense voter ID
✅ Enforce campaign finance laws fairly without political favoritism
✅ Deliver prompt, reliable service for local businesses and entrepreneurs
🗓️ Early voting ends this Saturday, October 31. Skip the long lines on Election Day and make your voice heard early!
Check your sample ballot ahead of time, grab a neighbor, and let’s cross the finish line together.

I told you, @SenatorHeinrich, what was at stake & of the awful cybersecurity at @UNMHSC. YOU DIDN'T CARE!
Don't act as if you care about healthcare workers in New Mexico now because you didn't then, & now they're all at risk!
Congratulations, Heinrich; Gold Star Goes To You!
NM Deserves Better!

Martin knew the risks & what was involved. I told him; I told every single New Mexico Congress member. I told Gov. MLG, NM Higher Ed Cabinet Secretary Rodriguez, NM DOH Cabinet Secretary DeBlassie, the Legislature & so many more about what was at stake;
NONE OF THEM DID A THING!

👇 Below is a screenshot of @RaulTorrezNM's X account & the @NewMexicoDOJ's X account.
Nothing was said for the victims of @UNM, @UNMHSC, @UNMHospital, @UNM_CON, @NMDOH, etc.
I watched the entire CNN interview too; & STILL NOTHING WAS SAID! 🤢
NM Deserves Better!

Not only does Goolsby have the BEST signs, she has the best heart and vision for the office of Secretary of State.
Vote @realRGoolsby
What an incredible Saturday in Albuquerque! 🎃🍂
After a packed day of campaigning, we had a blast setting up at the Trunk or Treat Fall Festival alongside Gregg Hull’s campaign. Seeing so many local families out enjoying the traditions of the season was the best reminder of why we do this work.
Strong families are the backbone of New Mexico. We must protect our traditions and parental rights so our children and grandchildren can grow up with the same opportunities, safety, and values we cherish.
Early voting is happening now! As you head to the polls, Remember Ramona on your ballot. 🗳️

Before you vote on Higher Ed Bond 3, look at the math they left off the flyer:
3 counties take $258M (73%) of the entire bond .
11 counties get $0—yet their taxpayers owe $30.1M in principal over the next 11 years .
Lea & Eddy counties owe $131.6M in principal (37.4% of the state tax base) and get back $1M each—less than 2¢ on the dollar .
The "No Tax Rate Increase" claim? State records show our property-tax rate could have dropped 21% (to 1.07 mills) as old debt expired, but was kept artificially high at 1.36 mills to fund more borrowing.
Who pays for the campaign flyers telling you it’s "free"? Tax-exempt university foundations (UNM $130K, NMSU $80K, CNM $33K, ENMU $19K) bankrolling a private PAC .

It was a true privilege to attend the 80th Annual Conference of the Association of Conservation Districts, representing the communities across Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Santa Fe counties.
Serving our neighbors through the Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me in the last election, and I work every day to earn and keep that confidence.
As early voting gets underway, I would be honored to earn your vote once again to serve all of New Mexico as your next Secretary of State.
When you head to the polls, please “Remember Ramona!” 🗳️

It's TIME for New Mexico to change, Lets get Ramona into office!!!!
New Mexicans deserve more than vague promises. They deserve secure, transparent elections and clean voter rolls.
My priorities for Secretary of State:
✅Accurate voter rolls & strong cybersecurity
✅Support Common-sense voter ID (including tribal IDs)
✅Equal enforcement of campaign finance rules
✅Professional service for business & public records

UNM wants $125.5 million through BOND 3—and property taxpayers across New Mexico will pay the bill for the next 11 years.
Meanwhile:
-5,000+ statewide healthcare worker shortage
-Hidalgo County has ZERO UNM grads
-nearly 60% of NM kids need Medicaid
Why should poor rural counties underwrite an Albuquerque palace while UNM enforces selective DEI and welcomes the SJP on campus? In the meantime conservative speakers like Charlie Kirk, Riley Gaines, and Tomi Lahren generate campus protests and "inclusion" disappears.
We voted NO for BOND 3 and the justification was simple. By all accounts UNM has failed to meet it's own mission statements for the state by not providing education, economic prosperity, and healthcare advancement. #nmpol #newmexico

@UNM
What is concerning is it was funded by Veterans for Peace and they are an UN NGO and have a permanent seat with the UN. How many of the organizations that have been researched by @DataRepublican
@idontexistTore
@CynicalPublius
And others, are also members of the UN?
