<p>At this point, it’s abundantly clear that spineless Republicans remain determined to push through Trump’s signature billionaires-first “Big Beautiful Bill” regardless of how much it <a href="/api/pdf?filepath=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbo.gov%2Fsystem2025-06%2F61387-Distributional-Effects.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hurts the working class</a> or even how many lives it costs.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>NM Democrats Overwhelmed GOP in Early Voting</h4>

<p>Today, the U.S. House Republicans passed the SAVE Act, another GOP attempt to place barriers to voting on eligible immigrants, Native Americans, and other voters of color.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>House Republicans Ram Through Voter Suppression Bill</h4>

<p>Early this morning, House Republicans passed Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” by a vote of 215-214 that <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/22/trump-tax-bill-house-republicans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">would cut over</a> $1 trillion from social safety net programs and force nearly $500 billion in cuts to Medicare over ten years, while still adding $2.4 trillion to national debt.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Republicans Vote To Gut Healthcare &amp; Food Assistance For New Mexicans To Fund Tax Breaks For Billionaires</h4>

<p>Today, DPNM calls on Republican Party of New Mexico fundraiser keynote speaker, and racist social media grifter Nick Shirley, to “investigate” RPNM for fraud and corruption, or drop out of their event.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Another Failed RPNM SCC Meeting Raises Concerns of Financial Malfeasance from BernCo Republicans</h4>

<p>Today, Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement on President Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign:&nbsp;</p>

<h4>DPNM Chair Jessica Velasquez’s Statement on President Biden Ending His Reelection Campaign</h4>

<p>"Every 4 years, each of the 57 State Democratic Parties crafts our Delegate Selection Plan for the Democratic National Convention.

<p>Today, on the two-year anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, overturning nearly 50 years of legal protections established in Roe v. Wade and destroying the federally protected right to access safe and legal abortions for Americans in many states, the Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement:&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Two Years After Dobbs Decision, New Mexico Democrats Reaffirm Commitment to Abortion Rights</h4>

<p><strong>An educated populace is the cornerstone of sustainable democracy and the single most important driver of economic prosperity. </strong>Children and adults have a right to affordable, high-quality education that enables them to pursue the career of their choice and to participate meaningfully in our society. The state of New Mexico must fully fund an equitable system of education from pre-K to college or career and provide collaborative oversight of resources spent on public education alongside local educational authorities.</p>

<h4>ICYMI: NM GOP Chooses Fake Elector as an Elector Yet Again at Party Convention</h4>

<p>70 days into her campaign for the U.S. Senate, No-Answer Nella finally gave her first interview to Artesia station KSVR Wednesday, where she refused to say where she stands on key issues yet lamented the struggles of CEO’s and highlighted her time in East Coast boardrooms. In a <em>Rio Grande Sun</em> article that covered her trip to Artesia, Nella refused to give direct answers when asked about her stance on abortion and attitude toward Trump.</p>

<p><strong>Democrats support the use of renewable energy, workforce development and job creation in this sector, and small businesses in a just transition to a renewable energy infrastructure.</strong> We will position New Mexico as a key global hub for technology, manufacturing, and construction to join and accelerate the clean-energy transition. In our communities, Democrats will raise awareness to promote the adoption of conservation of natural resources, energy efficiency, technologies, and policies necessary to protect air, land, and water, and do everything in our power to mitigate and counter climate catastrophe.

<h4>ICYMI: Vasquez Leads Bipartisan Push for Border Fentanyl Crisis Bill</h4>

<p><strong><em>Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia released the following statement</em></strong><em> ahead of Wednesday’s GOP presidential primary debate:&nbsp;</em>“Even though Donald Trump will not participate in the GOP primary debate as he has more pressing matters to attend to, the rest of the field has eagerly embraced his radical MAGA brand and worldview."</p>

<p>40 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, No-Answer Nella still has yet to explain to New Mexicans where she stands on the most important issues facing our state and country. But actions speak louder than words (and certainly more than silence), and her actions show an extreme, far-right stance on reproductive health care that would decimate these rights in New Mexico.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>40 Days and Counting, Still No Word from No-Answer Nella</h4>

<p><strong>The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement</strong> on today’s shooting in Farmington: “The Democratic Party of New Mexico sends our heartfelt condolences to the Farmington community and the families who lost loved ones in today’s shooting and hope for a full recovery for everyone injured."</p>

<h4>DPNM Statement on Today’s Shooting in Farmington</h4>

<p>At our Pre-Primary Convention, hundreds of Democrats made it clear - we're committed to working together as a Party for a bright future where all New Mexican can thrive. <strong>New Mexico Democrats are blessed to have so many capable candidates and elected officials who put New Mexicans first, and so many motivated supporters willing to roll up their sleeves to get them elected.</strong></p>

<p>New Mexico Democrats are thrilled that President Biden is visiting our state to discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act invests in communities like ours to create a historic boom to New Mexico’s clean energy industries,” said <strong>Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia.</strong></p>

<h4>Democratic Party of New Mexico’s Statement on President Biden’s Visit to New Mexico</h4>

<p><strong>Democrats will remove obstacles for workers, public and private, to exercise their right to organize, form, and join unions. </strong>We recognize that unions contribute to building a stronger middle class, as well as their crucial role in fighting for living wages, fair work rules and hiring practices, and safe working conditions. In the absence of a state-based living wage, unions have been shown to close the earning and wage gaps, especially for women and communities of color. Unions have democratized our workplaces and help to counterbalance the overreach of modern monopolies, providing a much-needed check on the unfettered socioeconomic stratification of our society.</p>

<p><strong><em>Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement</em></strong><em> after tonight’s GOP presidential primary debate:&nbsp;</em>“We saw at tonight’s debate how far to the right Republicans have come. Logic and facts have no place in today’s GOP. The legacy of division and insurrection of the elephant who was not in the room was on full display."</p>

<h4>DPNM Chair Jessica Velasquez Responds to GOP Debate</h4>

<h4>“No-Show” Nella Chickens Out of New Mexico’s Most Popular Radio Show</h4>

<p>Last week, Donald Trump gave an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/">interview</a> to <em>Time</em> that revealed a shocking glimpse of his plans for a potential second term. After 113 days on the campaign trail, voters still do not know much about where No-Answer Nella stands on issues, but it’s clear that the candidate, who moved back to New Mexico while&nbsp;being recruited to run by national Trump allies, has more in common with the former president than she wants to admit.</p>

<h4>Trump and Nella: Too MAGA For New Mexico</h4>

<p>Not very many voters have heard about the radical Republican, but here’s what they should know ahead of tonight’s debate.</p>

<h4>“Who’s Steve Jones??” The Extreme GOP Candidate For NM’s First District</h4>

<p>126 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, the multimillionaire former hedge fund executive has only doubled down on voter concerns that she’s out of touch with New Mexico.</p><p><em>Nella’s candidacy checks some boxes that point to being another failed MAGA candidate too extreme for New Mexico:&nbsp;</em></p>

<h4>No-Answer Nella’s MAGA Candidate Checklist</h4>

<p><strong>Everyone has a basic right to be free from coercion, exploitation, economic injustice, and violence, </strong>including harm imposed by private and corporate degradation of water, air, and soil. We support a multi-faceted strategy for public safety including law enforcement, intervention and treatment, and a comprehensive layering of firearm safety policies. We support safety and economic justice for all.</p>

<h2>Public Safety</h2>

<p>54 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, “No-Answer Nella” has unequivocally leaned into her well-deserved nickname as she has remarkably still not given a single interview. At this point, voters should question if Nella is even taking running to represent New Mexico seriously.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>No-Answer Nella Continues to Quietly Coast Through Self-Funded Campaign</h4>

<p>Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez issued the following statement on Nella Domenici’s entrance into the Senate Republican primary:</p>

<h4>DPNM Statement on Nella Domenici’s Senate Filing</h4>

<p><strong>Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa</strong> and <strong>Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez issued the following joint statement</strong> on Greg Abbott’s latest border distraction: “Earlier this month, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the placement of razor wire fencing along the Texas-New Mexico border north of the Rio Grande near Sunland Park, NM.  It’s clear that Governor Abbott has no plans on actually addressing our broken immigration system head on.."</p>

<h4>Texas and New Mexico Democrats Issue Joint Statement on Greg Abbott’s Fencing Along Texas and NM</h4>

<p><strong>Democrats must act now to secure our water future. </strong>We must support equitable, evidence-based, water planning, management, and stewardship. New Mexico will equitably and effectively adapt to climate change and best sustain what we value: our diverse cultures, our people and economy, food production, and riverine and riparian ecosystems.</p>

<h2>Water</h2>

<p><strong><em>The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement</em></strong><em> on today's NM Supreme Court redistricting decision: </em>“We are glad that the State Supreme Court ordered that the District Court’s redistricting decision will be upheld, hopefully putting to rest months of frivolous distractions from Steve Pearce’s New Mexico Republican Party."</p>

<p>The Democratic Party of New Mexico Spokesperson Daniel Garcia offered the following statement in response to Nella Domenici, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive and former CFO of Bridgewater Associates, officially securing New Mexico’s Republican Party nomination for U.S. Senate:<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span></p>

<h4>It’s Official: Multimillionaire Former Hedge Fund Exec Nella Domenici is NM GOP Candidate for Senate</h4>

<p><strong><em>Democratic Party of New Mexico Chair Jessica Velasquez released the following statement </em></strong><em>on the election of Mike Johnson as US House Speaker: </em>“After weeks of chaos, the Republican House majority caved to the MAGA extremists in their party and chose Mike Johnson, an inexperienced individual who worked hand-in-hand with Trump to undermine our democracy and overturn a free and fair election."</p>

<h4>DPNM Chair Velasquez Reacts to Mike Johnson’s Election as US House Speaker</h4>

<p>No-Show Nella made front page news last week after she abruptly canceled an appearance on KKOB’s The TJ Trout Show and was recently called out by another radio station for canceling her scheduled appearance not just once, but twice!</p>

<h4>No-Show Nella Called Out By Another Radio Show Host For Canceling Interviews (Twice!)</h4>

<p><em>Feeble yet Dogmatic Former VP Announces Presidential Campaign</em>: Former Vice President Mike Pence announced his candidacy for President today. After his single term as Vice President, Mike Pence enters the race significantly behind Trump and DeSantis in polls.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>LOL: With “Mother’s” Approval, Pence Makes Campaign Official</h4>

<p>Today, No-Answer Nella’s first TV ad of her campaign hits the airwaves in New Mexico, kicking off her campaign to buy the election with a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.axios.com/2024/05/28/republican-senate-candidate-nella-domenici-new-mexico-ad">half million dollar ad buy</a>. The ad, which glosses over her <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nmdemocrats.org/news?id=d429fc92-063e-497e-b829-17f58fc17b2a">questionable business record</a>, also misleads voters about her ties to New Mexico, and gives voters no new clues about where she stands on issues.</p>

<h4>No-Answer Nella’s TV Ad Gives No Answers on Issues</h4>

<p>Every American, especially people of color, women, and other marginalized communities, <strong>has the right to a job</strong> that provides for adequate food, housing, clothing, health care, recreation, and protection from the economic fears of old age, illness, or accidents. We must ensure adequate resources for future generations to provide equally for themselves. Businesses have the right to operate free from unfair competition at home and abroad. We support a progressive tax system where all businesses and individuals pay their fair share.</p>

<h2>Business, Economy, and Revenue Sources</h2>

<h4>No-Answer Nella Uses Non-Profit School Ground as Campaign Prop</h4>

<p>It is no surprise that Speaker Johnson is throwing all his support behind Herrell, he knows that she will vote for his agenda and would even help him gut social security, which thousands of New Mexicans rely on.</p>

<h4>MAGA Mike Johnson Super PAC Backs Herrell</h4>

<p>As No-Answer Nella’s campaign for U.S. Senate passes the 100-day mark, voters still have not heard any specifics from the self-funded candidate, even on the most important issues like where she stands on abortion and whether or not she supports Trump. <strong>After 103 days, it’s clear that No-Answer Nella refuses to be upfront with voters.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<h4>Over 100 Days Into Her Campaign, No-Answer Nella Still Refuses to Give Straight Answers</h4>

<p>Today, the Department of Labor released the latest consumer price index report showing inflation continues to cool under President Joe Biden as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/12/biden-cooling-inflation-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">consumer prices did not rise</a> in May over April levels.</p>

<h4>CPI Report Shows President Biden Leading Strong Economy as Inflation Flat in May</h4>

<p>The Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America Agenda – including the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act – is delivering historic results for New Mexicans. Under President Biden’s and Democrats’ leadership, New Mexico is seeing steady and stable economic growth with good-paying jobs, more manufacturing, and small businesses booming – and working families are saving money as a result.</p>

<h4>By the Numbers: President Biden’s Invest in America Agenda is Delivering for New Mexicans</h4>

<p>"Every 4 years, each of the 57 State Democratic Parties crafts our Delegate Selection Plan for the Democratic National Convention.

<p>No-Answer Nella, a multimillionaire hedge fund executive who built her career on the East Coast, lived up to her name yesterday and refused to answer whether or not she <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nmdemocrats.org/news?id=1744ba03-f63c-45e4-8908-7131fba1b19d">intends to vote</a> for Donald Trump, a convicted felon, for President of the United States.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>2023 State Central Committee Meeting will Include Newly Allocated Positions to Native American Democrats: </em>Saturday, April 22nd, the governing body of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, the State Central Committee (SCC), will meet to conduct official Party business. For the first time in the Democratic Party of New Mexico’s history, these votes will include the 14 additional SCC positions that are allocated to sovereign tribal members.</p>

<h4>Ahead of State Central Committee Meeting, DPNM Highlights Native American Representation</h4>

<p><strong>Immigrants strengthen our communities. </strong>Through comprehensive reform, we will create humane and non-discriminatory asylum and immigration systems that keep families together and ensure attainable paths to citizenship. We must prepare our communities and institutions to welcome immigrants and asylum seekers migrating due to climate change, globalization, political persecution, and violence. Non-citizens must be afforded the same human and legal rights as U.S. citizens, including access to quality education, health care, a living wage, and worker protections.</p>

<h2>Immigration</h2>

<p>In case you missed it, a personal finance disclosure filed Monday by former hedge fund executive Nella Domenici and her husband <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.abqjournal.com/news/nella-domenici-a-multi-millionaire-according-to-senate-financial-disclosure/article_c2f35bca-0c17-11ef-8c41-47de5b7d6f1a.html#tncms-source=home-featured-7-block">confirms</a> the former hedge fund manager is worth up to an eye-popping $94 million dollars, raising even more concerns about her recent return to the state to run for political office.</p>

<h4>ICYMI: “Nella Domenici a Multimillionaire”</h4>

<h4>NM Democrats Celebrate Pride Month</h4>

<p>Last week, Yvette Herrell, GOP candidate for New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, tried to hide her extreme anti-abortion position from voters yet again when questioned by <a href="https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/congressional-candidates-hit-the-airwaves-and-each-other/article_32612c3c-37b3-11ef-837f-2b03ad2f54fd.html#tncms-source=login" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>The Santa Fe New Mexican</em></a><em>.</em> Herrell falsely told the paper that Gabe Vasquez’s <a href="https://x.com/Gabe_NM/status/1804132216446099501" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">latest ad</a> misrepresents her stance in another attempt to run from her anti-choice record.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Yvette Herrell Continues to Try to Hide Her Anti-Abortion Stance from Voters</h4>

<p>It’s official: the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is opening up their campaign war chest to prop up Nella Domenici, <a href="https://www.abqjournal.com/news/nella-domenici-a-multi-millionaire-according-to-senate-financial-disclosure/article_c2f35bca-0c17-11ef-8c41-47de5b7d6f1a.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">multimillionaire former hedge fund executive</a> and <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/16/domenici-daughter-senate-run-new-mexico-00135999" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked GOP recruit for Senate</a> in New Mexico. And it’s obvious why: Domenici’s election would give extreme anti-abortion Republicans the majority they need in the Senate to pass a national abortion ban.</p>

<h4>Anti-Abortion Extremists Are Funding A Major Ad Blitz for Nella Domenici</h4>

<p>Last Saturday, the DPNM held our <a href="https://www.nmdemocrats.org/news/dpnm-announces-pre-primary-convention-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pre-Primary Convention</a> at the Inn of the Mountain in Mescalero Apache Nation. Coincidentally, the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) Convention happened to be a 10 minute drive away at the Ruidoso Convention Center. However, it should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with RPNM that their Convention was marked by division and debacles.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>NM GOP Convention Wrap-Up:  ﻿On-brand with Grifts & Infighting</h4>

<p>Today, on the first day of the Republican National Convention, the Trump Campaign announced that J.D. Vance will join the GOP ticket as their candidate for Vice President.
