CD2 Candidate Makes Untrue Statements Against Republican Legislators
 

The Republican Party of New Mexico expects highly contested and energetic campaigns when Republicans run against Republicans in a primary. The party will not make comment about those campaigns as they are a part of the primary process. However, the party will hold to the standard of truth. When ads or mailers are untruthful, RPNM stands ready to speak out and condemn the ads and the actions by any candidate and their team.

Chris Mathys, a candidate for the 2nd Congressional district has made intentional misstatements of the facts and untrue accusations about many republican legislators.

Contrary to Mathys’ claims, House Bill 390 was introduced in 2015 in effort to protect the unborn. The bill made it illegal to perform dangerous late-term abortions in New Mexico. After calls from legislators as well as the minority leader of the House, Chairman Pearce contacted Mr. Mathys via phone and he declined to take action and ceased communication with RPNM. Former state representative and CD2 candidate, Yvette Herrell, has not contacted RPNM nor asked the party to take action.

The Republican Party of New Mexico is asking Chris Mathys to retract the intentionally false statements about Republican legislators who sponsored this bill in 2015. RPNM will not tolerate untruthful ads and holds Mr. Mathys and his campaign team accountable for attacking Republican lawmakers. Mr. Mathys has failed to provide staff or consultant information to RPNM. If you would like to contact Mr. Mathys and share your thoughts with him, contact him at 575-644-9408 or [email protected].
