I attended an American Legion Debate with Michelle Lujan Grisham in New Mexico tonight facing off against her Republican challenger. Michelle is not afraid to confront her challenger anywhere in front of any group. This debate was moderated by the chairman of the local Republican party and the Tea Party group, who wears an American Legion cap when it suits his fancy.
Michelle answered every question, every query and she had her opponent speaking disdainfully about the "Ryan Budget" by the end of the evening. We had some foreign visitors who were in town for the event and at the end of the event they were speaking "glowingly" of Ms. Lujan-Grisham's performance.
New Mexico will be proud to have a Congresswoman such as Michelle to represent us in D.C.!
Michelle is actually travelliing around the District with her Republican opponent. She is ready to debate any Republican anywhere, in any forum. And, she stands up for her Democratic values.
Ms. Lujan Grisham was the Secretary of Health under Governor Bruce King and Governor Richardson and it is hard to imagine a more knowledgeable spokespersperson about the issue of public health. She confronted the issues of Veteran's jobs, VA training and counseling for PTSD with empathy and understanding.
New Mexicans need to get out the vote for Michelle. We are beginning to see an onslaught from Karl Rove and the Chamber of Commerce twisting the words and voting records of our Democratic Representatives.
