I think this is the first poll on the NM Governor’s race released since shortly after the primary.  Rasmussen has Martinez at 48 to Denish at 43. That is among likely voters.  When leaners are included, Martinez extends her lead to 51-44.  Both women were tied in the last two polls.  A March poll had [...]

Remember that TV ad portraying Lt. Gov. Diane Denish as a fighter of corruption?  It ran during the Spring around the primary election, even though Denish was facing no opponent for the Democratic nomination for Governor.  It featured Frances Williams, who helped blow the whistle on misdeeds inside the District III Regional Housing Authority.  Denish’s [...]

She doesn’t have a calendar for planning her time. But Lt. Governor Diane Denish does have a “scheduler” whom the taxpayers pay $71,050 a year. So what do taxpayers get for that big paycheck, which is twice the salary of a starting teacher, and more than the regular pay of policemen, firefighters and prosecutors? We [...]

Bill Richardson, Diane Denish, State Highway Commissioner think our state planes are a private air craft at their disposal, without consideration of the benefit or huge cost to taxpayers.  Richardson’s abuse of the planes is established history. But Denish? She rang up a $368,000 tab using the planes, and violated state regulations while she was [...]

Thanks to Stuart Dyson of KOB-TV we’ve learned that Susana Martinez’ concealed carry is a .380 and not a .45 semi-automatic.  In rechecking my notes and speaking again with Martinez’ spokesman it’s not clear where the larger caliber entered the story comparing Diane Denish and Martinez’s requirements for personal security.  We went over our conversation [...]

The Legislature gave New Mexico Lt. Gov. Diane Denish $106,500 to hire personal security.  D.A. Susan Martinez purchased her own gun and hasn’t asked taxpayers to pay for body guards. The two women, opposing each other in the race to be elected New Mexico’s next governor, have very different ideas on what they need for [...]

Lt. Governor Diane Denish pays a “scheduler” $71,050 a year.  But she doesn’t have a schedule or a calendar.  That’s what Heath Haussamen has learned trying to get Denish’s schedule or calendar for just a single 30-day period.  Denish’s office has informed him several times it doesn’t maintain a schedule or calendar for Denish. But [...]

Corruption.  It’s everywhere you look.  From the Governor’s office to a couple of guys in charge of buying batteries for Albuquerque’s city car fleet.  The State Treasurer–two of them in a row were on the take.  The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate stole millions.  So many members of the Public Regulation Commission have [...]

And Doesn’t Make the Prosecution’s Job Easier Diane Denish, the Democratic candidate for New Mexico Governor, has injected herself into a complicated, high-profile criminal case.  A campaign ad falsely credits her with an investigation into the District III Housing Authority scandal and says, “because Diane Denish didn’t back down,” four people are under indictment.  In [...]

Democratic Candidate for Governor Makes Herself a Witness in Major Criminal Case An ad from the Denish for Governor campaign claims she “investigated” corruption in the New Mexico Housing Authority and states that “today people are under indictment and the housing authority has tough oversight because Diane Denish wouldn’t back down.”  A lawyer in the [...]
