I was surprised this editorial did not talk about fracking or the oil industry at all, and yet Republican Ronchetti still received its endorsement.

Mark Ronchetti for Senate

Trump lost NM, a D+3 state, by 8.3 points in 2016. Republican/Libertarian Gary Johnson (former NM governor) took 9.3% of the vote, while GOPer/Independent Evan McMullin took another 0.7 points while Green Party J. Stein took 1.2 points. Fracking was already a topic of concern/discussion related to New Mexico, so Joe Biden's promise to transition from the oil industry last night did not help him here. NM-02's rep, in a tight race with GOPer Yvette Herrell, quickly sprinted away from Biden's comments.

Did quick “endorsement history” of newspaper.

In 2016 newspaper refused to endorse Clinton or Trump.
2012 Romney
2008 McCain

So has an R tilt.

Let’s see if it helps.

The editorial did indirectly touch on it:

Ronchetti recognizes climate change but opposes the Democrats’ Green New Deal as unrealistic and a recipe for economic devastation – particularly for a state like New Mexico that is rich in oil and natural gas. We need a balanced approach.

Partner, there is a lot of oil and gas that has not be drilled in Southeast NM. There is a lot of jobs around the Hobss area and Carlbad N.M. areas that would be realized if we did this here in N.M.

Also, we have been told there a lot of jobs in finding lithium which is the mail ingredient for electric car batteries in all of N.M.

We can tell the Chicoms to stick where the sun don't shine.
