Candidates blast New Mexico preprimary nominating system
Two Senate hopefuls who failed to meet the 20 percent convention threshold fought to qualify for the June ballot. Arthur Lavine won petition access after 5 percent backing at the Republican nominating convention while Jack Schmitt led the GOP with 73.7 percent and Eugene Peirce 21 percent. Democrat Rich Sims used petitions to challenge Sen. Joseph Montoya after 4 percent convention support versus 96 percent for Montoya, denouncing the convention as a Montoya tool and heralding broad cross county support for his bid.

Montoya audit questioned but no misconduct found
Treasury and Justice reviews exonerate IRS Commissioner Donald Alexander amid a cloud of “questionable judgment” for blocking a Montoya tax audit. The investigations found no evidence of misconduct by Alexander though overruled district desires and concerns about Montoya’s power influenced actions. The report urges regular audits of officials and staff to bolster public confidence.
