Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-NM) distanced herself from comments by former Vice President Joe Biden in the presidential debate Thursday night, after he pledged to “transition from the oil industry.”

Biden made the comment as he attempted to defend his record on fracking, a technique that allows oil and gas to be extracted by breaking up rock formations deep underground. During the Democratic primary, Biden pledged to end fracking, but has since backtracked.

New Mexico’s totalitarian governor has had NOT push back from a single state legislator. They have been completely silent throughout the pandemic lockdowns. The voters in this state need to remember that when each one comes up for reelection. Some are starting to reach out to voters now, but it is only to get Democratic voters to get out and vote. Otherwise, it has been crickets. And any that are trying to distance themselves from Biden’s rhetoric are only pandering to the voters and when it comes to actually voting for legislation will vote the way they are told by party leadership.

New Mexico 2nd district. South part-AlbuquerqueNo Albuquerque is district 1 (which is little chunk carved out around Albuquerque). District 2 is pretty much everything south of I-40 except in the eastern part of the state. A couple of counties are part of District 3 over there.

Thanks for clarifying that.
