Dear fellow New Mexicans,

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well during these challenging times. As we navigate the complexities of our current reality, I feel compelled to address a recent targeted attack on my candidacy for State Senate.

It has come to my attention that a certain group is attempting to undermine my campaign by resurrecting a post made during the COVID-19 pandemic, wherein I criticized Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s actions as akin to those of a dictator. This post, unfortunately, has been twisted and misconstrued to falsely paint me as antisemitic, a claim that holds no merit whatsoever.

Let me be unequivocally clear: I denounce any form of discrimination or bigotry in the strongest possible terms. The attempt to label me as such is not only baseless but also a disservice to the seriousness of real instances of antisemitism and hate speech.

This senseless attack is nothing more than a desperate ploy by my opponents to detract from the real issues at hand and create a foundation for their fact-less campaign. But let me assure you, I will not be deterred. I am committed to running a campaign based on integrity, honesty, and a genuine desire to serve the people of our great state.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize that my criticism of Governor Lujan Grisham was rooted in my dedication to upholding the principles of democracy and accountability. As your future State Senator, I am prepared to stand up to any form of tyranny, whether it comes from within our party or from the highest levels of government.

I firmly believe that I am the best candidate to represent our interests in the State Senate, and I am ready to fight for you every step of the way. Together, we can ensure that the last two years of the governor’s term are marked by transparency, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of all New Mexicans.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Audrey Trujillo
