The Rio Grande SUN Endorses Our Campaign for Change


We are happy to announce that this week's issue of the Rio Grande SUN contained an endorsement for our Campaign for Change! Below is the full text from the editorial section of the SUN:

---------------------------------------------

With the retirement of Ben Lujan Sr., District 46 is open for a new representative. Lujan is throwing his support to Santa Fe Mayor David Coss.

Los Alamos National Laboratory engineer Carl Trujillo is taking his second run at the seat. He almost beat Lujan two years ago.

Coss says he’ll remain the mayor of Santa Fe and represent Northern Santa Fe County fairly. We doubt that is possible. The many letters we’ve received asking how Coss can serve two masters are right on point.

We’re troubled Trujillo will not participate in forums or debates but it is part of the political game. He answered the SUN’s questions and they’ll be published next week. He earned the seat two years ago by doing the hard work and taking on an entrenched democratic icon when most Democrats were busy riding both Lujan’s coattails and kissing the appropriate ring.

The representative of this district must remember we’re here and it’s not just Santa Fe. Trujillo will represent the northern parts of the district equitably and with forethought. He’s already proven he is his own person and capable of independent thought, separate from influences.

Vote for Carl Trujillo in the District 46 house race.
