Republican US Senate candidate Mark Ronchetti had this to say about Lujan-Grisham:

Just when you think the dirty tricks can’t get any worse....

My opponent, Ben Ray Lujan, is Governor Lujan Grisham’s cousin. She officially endorsed him on Wednesday. Then yesterday, the Governor said her health order bans in-person political activity, including fundraisers and door-to-door campaigning. At the same time, she said mass liberal protests are fine. That proves this has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with tilting the playing field to help elect her cousin and other Democrats.

Lujan Grisham knows this ban cripples Republicans, while having little to no effect on Democrats. Why? Because Ben Ray Lujan’s money comes from out-of-state liberal donors and special interests to the tune of millions of dollars. A whopping 75% of Lujan’s contributions come from out-of-state, so banning in-state fundraisers has little effect on his campaign. And she knows it.

Our campaign, on the other hand, is being funded by grassroots New Mexico supporters. I am proud that 93% of my contributions come from New Mexicans.
So now, after Ben Ray Lujan and Nancy Pelosi have filled his campaign coffers with millions of dollars in DC special interest cash, his cousin, the Governor, turns around and tries to ban us from doing in-person fundraisers in New Mexico so we have no way to catch up to his fundraising.

In June's primary election, Mark wasn't the most conservative Republican on the ballot (didn't come out with a Trump endorsement), but he is the most well known and has the best chance of defeating the Dem cousin of the governor and replacing radical environmentalist Tom Udall, who is retiring, with a Republican. For that reason I'm giving my support to him

So don’t call it campaigning. Call it peaceful door to door protesting.

In a campaign email update this afternoon, Ronchetti says Lujan Grisham has walked back unconstitutional limitations on door-to-door campaigning. [However in-person fund raisers are likely still prohibited if greater than 5 persons.]

Not being a huge fan of politicians showing up uninvited on my porch, this doesn’t bother me.

Have a conservative protest on every damn block and tell the lady to go screw herself.

Her game is transparent and dishonest. The left wing rioters and criminals can get together but peaceful conservatives can not.

So don’t be peaceful Knock the hell out of anyone who tries to stop a conservative gathering they you can be just like democrats.
