I have been reporting on New Mexico news for just about 16 years, not much I know, we have lived here since 1995. I have always had a deep interest in our elected officials and those who are seeking office. Years ago I became a registered Independent because of my frustration with both parties. Both parties have failed New Mexico greatly. We are a mess. I have voted for both Republicans and Republicans over the years. This fits well with me as a Pastor and newsman of a non-partisan Christian news service.
Late last year my friend Elisa Martinez of New Mexico Alliance for Life announced she was running for the U.S. Senate. Elisa is a solid Christian, she has fought for God’s babies here in New Mexico for several years. She is a strong leader for God. Then yesterday, Channel 13 TV weatherman Mark Ronchetti announced he was running for ther U.S. Senate. I know Elisa very well, I have seen her fight against evil, I do not know Mark, but I listened to his speech on YouTube yesterday and it was very powerful. I called a close friend of mine who knows Mark very well and he told me that Mark is a very solid Christian. I am excited that Elisa and Mark have stepped out into this race for the U.S. Senate. I cannot remember when the Republican Party of New Mexico has had two solid candidates running for the same seat. I am excited for New Mexico, we needed new blood and new energy.
It will be exciting to see what God has for Elisa and Mark as the years go on! Thank you Elisa and Mark for stepping out and sacrificing much! Both are pictured below.
At this point, I do not know enough about the other Republicans running to make a comment.
