Huge win in Rio Rancho, NM!
Republican Paul Wymer just won the mayor's race 63% to 37%, a massive +23 point overperformance!
Trump only carried this city by 3 points.
That's a bloodbath for Democrats!
That is huge for NM.
and not a peep about this in the commie press since it goes against the narrative
Rio Rancho is not Albuquerque, at least it wasn’t when I lived there. It’s been a while, so I can’t speak to how it might have changed since I left.
Intel has a ginormous installation there (at one time it was Intel’s largest fab in the lower 48), and a lot of people who live in RR work there.
Rio Rancho is a hard repub enclave suburb neighbor of revolutionary socialist Albuquerque. It was never going Democrat. Rio Rancho is the place people flee to if you live in the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area so you can have a good police department, affordable houses, low crime etc.
The old mayor is running for Governor and may he win! But RR is not a bellwether that New Mexico is about to swing Repub. It isn’t going to happen. They are as bad as California. It’s a one party state where Repubs lost every statewide election last time. The Gov is a Rat, the entire congressional delegation is Rat, the State supreme court is Rat. Both houses of the Legislature are near supermajorities, and fully majority female.
And not just female, but young virulent ones with educations at Stanford, Yale, Brown, William and Mary, and other libtard schools. They are developed, trained and funded by national RAT programs and come back to NM to push the national agenda. Gun control was essentially unknown in NM and now every session they take another bite at the apple, they just passed free college and unlimited free day care for every kid in the state (takes little imagination to know how that goes).
They are tearing down power plants, fully behind homosexuality, abortion, and were brutal during covid.
Be happy for this win so the Rio Rancho enclave can persevere, but take it for what it is.
Miami is not meaningful. New Mexico is meaningful.
