As the general election approaches, political tensions are high in New Mexico. The Republican Party of New Mexico has criticized policies proposed by Democratic candidates Kamala Harris, Martin Heinrich, and Gabe Vasquez. These policies cover areas such as taxation, healthcare, and immigration.

Steve Pearce, Chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, expressed concerns about the impact of these policies on working families. "Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez are advocating for tax plans that would raise taxes on seniors’ retirement funds and add even higher costs for working families," Pearce stated. He also highlighted their support for 'Medicare for All,' which he claims would remove private insurance options for many residents.

The party further criticized Heinrich and Vasquez's support for border policies under the Biden-Harris administration. According to Pearce, these policies weaken border security and increase crime risks in New Mexico due to mass amnesty proposals.

Pearce also attributed rising grocery prices to the actions of Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez. "Do you want to know why you are paying so much for groceries? You can thank Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez for their votes that directly contributed to skyrocketing inflation," he said.

He accused them of undermining American energy independence while compromising border security. Despite these criticisms, Pearce emphasized that voters still have an opportunity to change direction by supporting Republican candidates in upcoming elections.
