I believe every aspect of life is improved by diversity. Specifically, as women gain more power and authority, our political system achieves a better balance. I’m voting for Deb Haaland for Lt. Governor. That means I’m also voting for Gary King. peace, mjh

The following is a letter from Karen Meyers, a New Mexican attorney and a progressive, in support of Gary King:

Dear Friend,

You and I share a commitment to improving the lives of people living in poverty, protecting the environment, improving educational opportunities for children and fighting on behalf of victims of consumer fraud.  

Recently, many of you have praised the work of the attorney general’s consumer division, which I head, in our efforts against predatory lending, unfair and deceptive sales practices, mortgage abuses, and unrelenting scams. The praise is appreciated, but it is important for you to know that the person who has encouraged this litigation, supported me professionally and personally, and made sure that politics has not interfered with the  enforcement of the Unfair Practices Act, is Gary King, the Democratic candidate for governor.  

I am making this personal appeal to you because I think it is essential for progressive New Mexicans to actively work for and support Gary in this election.

We all have seen how the politics and policies of the current administration harm New Mexicans.  We cannot afford another four years of these policies.  

I have worked closely with Gary for more than seven years.  I know him and respect him.  He is committed to fairness, integrity and access to justice.  He has worked to protect children and families, victims of human trafficking, and immigrants. He supports aggressive consumer protection efforts.    He will work with teachers to improve educational opportunities throughout New Mexico.  He cares about the environment.   He believes that the role of government is to help and protect people, not to abandon them to corporate greed.  

I recognize that many of you are critical of Gary for a variety of reasons and intend to “sit this one out.”  If you are satisfied with the job that Susana Martinez has done, go right ahead and sit.  I have not necessarily agreed with every decision Gary has made as AG.  However, I can tell you I have confidence that as governor he will demonstrate a commitment to justice, fairness, and integrity.  None of us can say that about Susana Martinez.  

Please join me in working to elect Gary and Deb.  Thanks.

Sincerely,
Karen Meyers
