That infamous “I” word, that’s impeachment. It’s a word Americans have become all too familiar with in recent history. President Trump has been impeached twice. Joe Biden now faces the possibility of his own impeachment. And here in New Mexico, we are fighting to impeach the tyrant occupying the governor’s mansion.
In most cases, this behavior is highly politicized and overly partisan. Clearly, the judicial system has been and continues to be used as a weapon against President Trump for political purposes. Democrats in Washington are now flocking to the leadership’s side, and the partisan game has begun.
Here in New Mexico, it’s quite the opposite.

If she went that far and violated our rights once, she will do it again, and we will not tolerate it.
Republicans ask unlikely allies of Biden administration to intervene to stop NM’s ‘unconstitutional power grab’
Progressive governors across the country are watching New Mexico and waiting to see if this kind of executive overreach works so well that they can start implementing it in their own states.
Before I was elected, I formed a citizen action group called Pro-Gun Women to combat persistent Second Amendment violations in New Mexico. I was tired of progressives constantly introducing bills that affected legal gun owners and did nothing to address real crime issues.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s executive order does nothing to curb the violence. She admitted this at a press conference when a reporter asked if this would stop criminals from being transported, but she proudly declared that it would not.
Rep. Lord and I are standing up not just for New Mexicans, but for all gun-owning Americans who fear their state will be next.
What can we do to prevent these orders from happening again? If they can take away our Second Amendment rights with the stroke of a pen, they can take away our religion, our speech, and You can do that for all the other rights enumerated in our Constitution as well.
New Mexicans from all walks of life and backgrounds resonate with our message and want change. Addressing crime begins by providing law enforcement with the funding and resources they need to properly protect our streets. We don’t fight crime, we work with law enforcement to fight crime.
