Trump needs to be running on protecting fracking here. Southeastern New Mexico is part of the Permian Basin. Fracking is a source of high paying jobs in that area. Without it all they have is some spotty agriculture and the tourist attractions in Carlsbad and Roswell. If you travel there you will see obscure places like Jal NM that are boom towns now, 20 years ago they were a flyspeck on the map. Also 30 to 40 percent of New Mexico’s state revenue comes directly form oil and gas taxes. Without fracking you are looking at massive cuts to education and other state services. Also, New Mexico’s governor is an idiot. Rumor has it she was on Biden short list for VP but he managed to find a bigger fool to run with. She is one of these far left loons that appeals to the hippie dippy types you find in Santa Fe and Taos. She actually ran on banning fracking and then had to change her tune once she got in office.
NM's oil patch needs fracking; large signs here saying: "Vote Trump 2020. Your job depends on it."
We inherited a second home/ranch in SE New Mexico. My husband’s large family is Hispanic and many work in the oil industry. Almost all are solid Republican and ALL are sick of the NM governor. Praying NM goes RED!
