She is all over the place in this campaign. She does not know from one day to the next day how to campaign for this race because this is the first time that she is running as an underdog. The new district lines have her out of her comfort zones and she keeps wanting to campaign in Eastern New Mexico, where in the old district it was all about the gas and oil. That is what she wants it to be. She and the Republicans never thought the Democrats would come in and break up the control that the gas and oil had in NM 2nd Congressional District. The Republicans thought that the Democrats would leave everything the same as it was, except the governor wanted things to be different. She wanted the Latinos to have more representation in one congressional district and she wanted the tribes to have more representation. The governor got her way. The NM 2nd Congressional District will have the largest representation of Latinos in for the state and the tribes will have more representation. The Republicans are fighting the new district lines and it is still in court with decision yet. Until then she must campaign in the new lines, and she hates it because it represents everything that she is against.
She ventures north to Albuquerque to her new northern portions of the district to where they don’t really know her, but she still refuses to campaign in the areas west of the Organ Mountains around Las Cruses or Silver City.
Where I live in Las Cruces, they have built hundreds of new houses. She won’t come here because many of the new houses have solar panels being installed on them, along with the other new smart technology for homes. Most of the voters in the district live around Las Cruces and that is where the power now resides in the district and where it should have been all along. Her problem is that the Democrats control this portion of the district and that is why she ignores it.
