NEW MEXICO REPUBLICAN DELEGATES AT PRE-PRIMARY STATE CONVENTION ELECT SLATE OF CANDIDATES FOR JUNE 2022 PRIMARY ELECTION
Ruidoso, NM, February 26– Today nearly 1,000 Republicans from around New Mexico took part in the RPNM Pre-Primary State Convention. Hundreds of delegates, selected from their counties to attend the Convention, elected Primary candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and New Mexico’s three Congressional seats for New Mexico’s June 7, 2022 Primary Election. Candidates for four statewide offices were unopposed.
The votes capped an exciting and successful Pre-Primary State Convention administered by Convention Chair and RPNM Chairman Steve Pearce. The Convention included speeches by the 16 candidates.
Voters decided that the following candidates will be placed on the Republican Primary slate for the June 7 Primary Election:
In the governor’s race, Jay Block received the most votes and will top the ballot. Rebecca Dow and Greg Zanetti also got enough votes to be on the ballot.
In the lieutenant governor’s race, Anthony Thornton will be the only GOP candidate on the ballot.
In the 1st Congressional District race, Louis Sanchez will top the ballot. Michelle Garcia Holmes is also on the ballot.
In the 2nd Congressional District race, incumbent Rep. Yvette Herrell, who was unopposed, will be on the ballot.

We have elected a top-flight group of candidates who are focused, diverse and who all adhere to conservative principles and values. The Republican Party of New Mexico is very excited with this slate of candidates, and we have continued confidence that our Party will lead the way for much-need change in our state’s leadership and direction.”

When Daisy and I were on our run/walk this morning many students from LBJ Middle School were running on the track at Mariposa Park. I told the teachers that were gathered as they watched over the kids about the student that was murdered near West Mesa High School. They had not heard about this hellish event. I thanked them for their service to our children. It is so very tragic that our children are under constant threat in Albuquerque! It seems in my mind, that of late we are having a murder take place about everyday in the Metro. Satan is having is way with so very many. It is not right to think our Law Enforcement Officers can stop these killings, they are very understaffed. No thug calls 911 before they kill. This is Spiritual Warfare! The Mayor of Albuquerque, The Governor of New Mexico and the Dems in the legislature are so very lost on what Spiritual Warfare is! New Mexico needs a law and order Governor! GOP candidate Ethel Maharg was once Mayor and Chief of Police in Cuba. We the Body of Christ must continue to minister to all and plant seeds for JESUS all over New Mexico and beyond! Let us all bear fruit for JESUS!
By the way, have you seen the ad by the Democratic Party of New Mexico on Facebook? Who ever did that ad is a very good writer of fiction. Lies! The whole ad lies!

The New Mexico GOP Pre-Primary State Convention is at the Ruidoso Convention Center on Saturday.
It irks me to no end that Ethel Maharg, the strongest Pro-Life candidate for governor, is not mentioned in many news reports. It says something about a state that continues to kill God’s babies. Abortion in the biggest barrier between New Mexico and God. How important is this issue to the Republicans in New Mexico? God and His babies?

FGGAM Shares a Biblical Worldview Everyday:
“The Biblical worldview says there is a God—One who is personal, powerful and caring—who created the world and everything in it. It states unequivocally that man is created in God’s image, living in essence as God’s co-regent over creation. Mankind—born and unborn, rich and poor, able and disabled—has intrinsic worth. Almighty God is a sovereign God, ruler over nations, states, empires, and governments. He is to be worshiped and obeyed through the precepts and principles revealed in His infallible Word. He not only exists, but He is sovereign over all of history according to His wisdom and purposes, and He is intimately involved in every aspect of life.”
Franklin Graham, “A Biblical Worldview in Today’s Culture”
Lawsuits brought against Republican gubernatorial candidate Jay Block and Libertarian candidate Karen Bedonie have been dismissed. It seems to this old man that political games were played against Bedonie and Block, but failed. More dirty politics, I wonder who was really behind this? The Governors race is going to get really interesting. Governor Lujan Grisham’s legislative session went up in flames, and she quickly removed her mask mandate! LOL! And her buddy Egolf resigned, that is a huge victory for the people of New Mexico for sure! Follow the opening of pot sales in New Mexico….it is a mess and its going to get worse City updates application process for potential dispensaries following confusion …..follow the money. Business owners start petition against new pot shop in Belen. One more thing which is more important to me more than ever is…..GOP Candidates for Governor that are speaking out against killing God’s babies! Ethel Maharg is the strongest candidate for God’s babies, no doubt, I got a press release from Jay Block who wrote this, “We cannot standby while our leaders allow unborn New Mexicans to suffer. That is why we must always defend the innocent.” I understand from my friends that Jay Block is a wonderful man of God. I know in the past Rebecca Dow has voted pro-life in the legislature. I have tried to monitor all candidates as best as I can. Let me know if you have anything to share about your candidate, or if they would like to share with us here at FGGAM. The only GOP candidate that failed to send me his stance on issues is Greg Zanetti, after saying he would. We need to end abortion. Is that important to you? Can we stop killing God’s babies? Abby Johnson on Abortion and The Girl Scouts. One more thing is that I love grass roots politicans….I do not see Ethel Maharg asking for a penny from the people of New Mexico. Ethel wrote this months ago at FGGAM when I asked her about running for Governor: “I did not run because I’m rich and or famous. I’m running because my Father asked me to. If it’s God’s will, it’s God’s bill and He will provide.” I have received emails from Rebecca Dow and Mark Ronchetti, many from Mark, a few from Jay Block asking for money. NONE from Ethel. That says a lot about her.
The most important issue for me is abortion. We must stop killing God’s babies. Abortion is the greatest barrier between New Mexico and God. Thou shall not kill.
To be clear, I am a registered Independent in New Mexico. I am here to bring you a Biblical Worldview, not a political worldview.
