ALBUQUERQUE, OCTOBER 14—This afternoon, Republican senatorial candidate Nella Domenici and Democrat incumbent Martin Heinrich sparred off in a televised debate on KOAT-TV. The questions touched on a variety of topics, including inflation and spending, drug overdoses, limits on late-term abortions, the border and immigration, education, and energy.
Nella Domenici began her opening statements by giving Senator Heinrich an F on his performance, and in her closing statement, she hammered the reality home for many New Mexicans.
"At the end of the day, results matter," Domenici said. "His report card is an F, and we all live that report card every day. We live it when we go grocery shopping. We live it when we put gas in our cars. We live it when we help our neighbor's son who has fentanyl. We live it when we can't get our grandmother into the hospital. We need new leadership in this state. I'm ready to be that leader."
Leticia Muñoz, the Republican Party of New Mexico Executive Director, issued the following statement following the debate's conclusion:
"Martin Heinrich spent the entire debate justifying his failed record that has delivered abysmal results for New Mexico families. Just like Kamala Harris, Heinrich's empty promises hold no weight. Despite being in office for two decades, New Mexico continues to worsen, ranking last in education and child welfare and first in drug overdoses, crime, and poverty. Not only has Martin Heinrich not delivered for New Mexico, but he has actively worked against New Mexico's best interests by trying to end our oil and gas industry, take away law-abiding citizens' guns, and keep the border wide open to fentanyl and the cartels. It's time for a new day in New Mexico, and Nella Domenici is the strong, independent leader needed to change the failing status quo. The choice is clear. It's time to fire Martin Heinrich and elect Nella Domenici this November!"
