with mayors across the state.

And that's why we have so many mayors across the state that have endorsed our campaign from Mayor Ken Miyagi-Shima from Las Cruces all the way up to Mayor Calhoun of Red River and Mayor Duckett from Farmington, Mayor Morris from Clovis.

See, I'm zigzagging across the state here, right? And the mayor of Raton, Neil Segata, the mayor of Rio Doso, Lynn Crawford, all these mayors from across the state that have come out and said, Gregg Hull has been on the ground in New Mexico working with New Mexicans to solve problems for the last 12 years.

You also have Rio Rancho, the only city in New Mexico that's not losing population.
