I will add here that people who know Grisham professionally say she presents herself very well without delivering on the implied promise. Based on comments from people I don\u2019t know personally, I gather she\u2019s very difficult to work with, to say the least.<\/p>\n
Why women support Eric Griego for Congress | NMPolitics.net<\/a> <\/p>\n By Dede Feldman and Mimi Stewart<\/a><\/b> ? 5\/24\/12, 8:54 am ? Commentary<\/p>\n Eric Griego is the one Democrat in the 1st Congressional District race with a long, consistent record of taking on the status quo and powerful interests to fight for our core Democratic values.<\/p>\n We have three experienced and accomplished Democrats running in New Mexico\u2019s Democratic-leaning 1st Congressional District. However, if the person you wish to support for Congress is a proven progressive reformer who has a long, consistent record of fighting for women\u2019s rights, we believe Eric Griego<\/a> deserves your strongest consideration.<\/p>\n Eric Griego is a lifelong advocate for women. Eric grew up watching his single mother who worked two minimum-wage jobs struggle to balance work and family. He believes that women and men should not have to choose between their jobs and their families in time of need. \u2026<\/p>\n Some say women should automatically support Bernalillo County Commissioner Michelle Lujan Grisham<\/a> because she is a woman. As women who have spent our careers leading the fight in New Mexico\u2019s Legislature to promote a woman\u2019s right to make her own health-care decisions and for pay equity and paid family leave, we respectfully disagree.<\/p>\n The Republicans are waging war on women \u2013 and we believe that both Eric and Commissioner Lujan Grisham will be outspoken champions for women in Congress. But the Republicans are waging war against not just women; they are also waging war against teachers and other public employees, against Social Security and Medicare, against clean energy in favor of Big Oil, against middle class taxpayers in favor of millionaires, and against ordinary voters who want to have a voice in our democracy in favor of billionaires and big corporations that can spend unlimited money to influence our elections.<\/p>\n To take on these fights, we need someone like Eric, who is the one Democrat in this race with a long, consistent record of taking on the status quo and powerful interests to fight for our core Democratic values.<\/p>\n That is why we enthusiastically endorse Eric Griego, and encourage everyone \u2013 men and women \u2013 to support him for Congress.<\/p>\n State Sen.

Ms. Denish acts like Ms. Grisham was a saint! The best assessment of her performance as Health Secretary is substandard at best. You will realize she is not a team member after you read these articles on her. So Ms. Denish don\u2019t exaggerate Ms. Grisham\u2019s so-called accomplishments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
