Bingo!.......................
...Democrats national environmental appeals tend to backfire in a district in which many depend on oil and gas to put food on the table.
The Democrats in north central NM have a different opinion - they vehemently oppose natural resource development because of the constant anti-development, anti-business rants from Santa Fe environmentalists who demonstrate and sue on any activity that may provide non-governmental income in the area. Use of coal for power generation, anti-fracking and closure of forest lands to cattle to protect a mouse are only three of the most recent issues they are protesting.
That’s a ticket, as well as economic freedom in the urban areas to a rebound with Hispanic voters, not pandering on “amnesty”.
