Speaker Martínez Responds to Presidential Debate

Santa Fe, N.M. - Following the Presidential debate this evening, New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martínez (D-Albuquerque) issued the following statement: 

“Tonight’s debate was a stark reminder of all that is at stake this November. A small but vocal group of out-of-touch extremists are hellbent on using disinformation to roll back federal protections for our fundamental freedoms and put corporate greed ahead of the health of our planet and the well-being of hardworking families across our country. 

This means that state legislative and down ballot races matter more than ever. Your ability to get healthcare when you need it, to give your children the education they deserve, to protect your family from gun violence, and to breathe clean air and drink clean water may now come down where you live and who you elect. In every state and every district, everything is on the line this fall.”
