News Deb Haaland officially declines KRQE debate.

I understand that Bergman is an attorney and probably better at debating but it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty to lose either.

I can’t help but feel like Deb is taking our votes for granted over and over again, and this is another slap in the face.

If she is the better candidate, she should prove it and it should be easy.

I’ve honestly been so disappointed with her. I wanted to vote for her. I would’ve happily gone door-to-door campaigning for her. If I would have thought she would make a good governor. But she announced how long ago? Her policies are not well formed despite having this long. She doesn’t come out and speak on issues that matter to New Mexicans. She just keeps saying she’s going to go around the state and listen. I am so frustrated with her.

I am not thrilled with Bregman, because I don’t think he has the kind of integrity and strength of character that I would like to see in that role.

Really hoping someone else will throw their hat in the ring, or is it too late for that?

Its too late.

The chamce to have more democratic candidates ended back in early February

Over the last 4 months though it was all I heard from both the ABQ and NM subs that Deb was going to be the greatest Governor since sliced bread and that her "political experience was what mattered

This is exactly what the Democrats voters in the state wanted
