Dems push party unity as they tour southeast New Mexico
Five top Democrats led by Larry Ingram toured Roswell and Chaves Eddy and Lea counties. Ingram attacked Democrats backing Republican Joe Skeen for governor and argued party loyalty should place the top ballot line with Democrats. Bruce King projected a strong run but warned Chaves County may stay tough. Jan Hartke pursued cost cutting and bold issues for New Mexico treasurer, and Leila Andrews anticipated a tough race as a woman. Alvino Castillo urged restoring much of the auditor’s duties to independent checks.
