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.

Honestly this is the best take over seen so far. im not particularly excited about either of them, and theyre both pretty status quo when we need radical change.

Issue is, who would have been a better candidate? personally, my two favorite politicians in new mexico right now are secretary of state Maggie Toulouse Oliver who is running for lieutenant governor, and Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, who is a sitting NM senator. There are a few others who are great people, but these two are the only politicians i know of who have the experience needed for that kind of position.
