State Rep. Christine Trujillo (D-Albuquerque) announced Saturday that she would be resigning from the state legislature, effective July 1, 2023.
“It’s been the honor of my life time to represent our community in the Roundhouse for the last decade. Thank you to my neighbors for placing your trust in me as your representative. I hope I have made you proud by fighting for our public schools and working to make life easier for New Mexico families. I look forward to continuing to serve our community in my next chapter,” wrote Trujillo in the press release.
However, the announcement did not indicate a reason for her departure. Now, a recent interview between Trujillo and the Santa Fe New Mexican confirms why she is exiting the chamber.
During the 2023 Legislative Session, while sleeping on a bench in the hallway, a vote was announced and, startled, she ran to her desk but tripped on a piece of carpet — leading to her hitting the desk with her forehead.
“The back of my head hit the floor,” said Trujillo to the outlet.
She reportedly blacked out when the incident occurred but did not immediately go to the hospital because she wanted to stay to participate in the final days of the contentious 60-day legislative session.
“Exhaustion was the underlying cause of her fall. She said it’s also a reason she will resign from office at the end of this month. She served more than 10 years in the House of Representatives,” reported the New Mexican.
Once Trujillo leaves the chamber, the Bernalillo County Commission will nominate a successor, more than likely another Democrat due to the partisan makeup of the Commission and her district, which skews 71.63 percent Democrat and only 28.37 percent Republican, according to Princeton University’s analysis.
Falling down seems to be particularly common among Dems—- notice falling Biden.
TRUE DAT!!
Your thinking was damaged before your fall. I wish you well but glad you’re out.
GOOD-Bye! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. WOW, all the “Great” things you have done for your community and this state. Are you kidding me?
Big lawsuit coming her way
Why should they be given our SS dollars for free. Illegals work and send their money back to their countries or live better, ride new cars and take advantage of every available program that a lot of middle class families can’t qualify for. Let’s help and take care of all Americans first especially our Veterans and homeless and hungry.
you’re so misinformed my dear check your facts then come and talk about immigrants
Did it knock any sense into her?
Impossible she is a “DEMONCRAT” !!
Great comments! 😆 👍
Thank you for years of hard work and dedication!! Take care!
The compassion for a fellow human being is underwhelming. Do you all wish she had been aborted before she became a dreaded politician who joined the side you believe is evil. Both parties are equally evil and incompetent.
