It has been almost 900-days of Democrat governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's unchecked emergency power in New Mexico. Let us take a look at her time as governor. 1/76
Before the pandemic, she put out a bizarre ad where she runs through a wall. 2/76
She pulled NM National Guard troops from the border to “show Trump”. 3/76
Many of our state's Sheriffs are not big fans of her policies. MLG said it would lower suicides in the state. They are also elected, but she told them...well, this. 4/76
This is also 2020, but we're number 4 for suicides. 5/76
The governor of NM maintained some of the most strict COVID protocols in the nation. And for longer than most other states. NM ranked 48th in COVID response according to this April 2022 study: 6/76

NM had breadlines. But it was just a, “Republican talking point” according to her spokesperson. Rural areas most affected. 7/76
NM closed and fined businesses. Some people defied her orders at first, as they were concerned about towns being bankrupted without Gross Receipts tax income from consumer sales. 8/76
They paid for their audacity. 9/76
New Mexican businesses got no relief from a mostly MLG-appointed state Supreme Court. 10/76
A “few” restaurants closed permanently – especially in rural NM, which relies on small business rather than big-box stores. 11/76
Sometimes it seemed like the orders could be personal issues rather than specifics. 12/76
Very personal. 13/76
Some businesses tried anyway, and kept trying. 14/76
MLG publicly shamed the people of Espanola. 15/76
NM closed schools. Some kids were so despondent. 16/76
Mental health in NM was already a problem. Now it's worse. 17/76
NM families were having a hard time balancing work and ensuring their children went to school virtually. NM established a way to enforce attendance. “Compassionately”. 18/76
As usual for NM, things don't always work out the way they were intended to. 19/76
The NM governor made sure we all stayed home. She used shame and condescending sneers to motivate New Mexicans. 20/76
She publicly posted photos of New Mexicans “caught” without masks. 21/76
She didn't stay home. Well, somehow she got expensive jewelry, anyway. 22/76
She had lavish parties (in-person “meetings” while New Mexicans were ordered home & not to have gatherings). Expensive alcohol, Wagyu beef, tuna steaks, and her dry cleaning were part of those expenditures on the NM taxpayer. 23/76
She paid her daughter out of her campaign fund money over $6000 for personal cosmetics and hairstyling. This was ultimately found to not violate ethics, somehow. 24/76
She defended herself against allegations of sexual misconduct for allegedly grabbing a male former employee's crotch. 25/76
She called New Mexicans protesting at her reelection announcement, “lizard people”. 26/76
But that was her, “taking the high road”, apparently? 27/76
New Mexicans weren't allowed to go to work, but protesting that was NOT against her in the middle of the pandemic was commendable. Apparently. 28/76
She has previously mocked rural New Mexicans in other ways. 29/76
Her spokesman called a large portion of New Mexicans a “death cult” and then another claimed that if you “think it's about” you then you've “placed that upon” yourself. 30/76
Of course, making fun of New Mexicans is just something her staff seems to enjoy? 31/76
It seems to be a theme with her staff, though. 32/76
And look at the snark in interviews. 33/76
Her rude staff got great raises during the pandemic, while New Mexicans were just trying to make ends meet, though. 34/76
When a Republican won in Southern New Mexico in 2020, former NM House Speaker Brian Egolf said: “This is the last election... map that looks like it looks now...we’ll have to see what that means for Republican chances to hold it.” 35/76
He later clarified that it had meant nothing like what he actually said: 36/76
The map was redrawn. 37/76
There was that little issue with how pandemic funds were being spent – without legislature involvement at all. 38/76
Hmmmm.... baby shower, anyone? 39/76
Her political ad was rated, “false” by... everyone. So many times. Yikes. 40/76
Planned Parenthood ran an attack ad against Mark Ronchetti, seemingly supporting MLG. They have a financial reason to want to keep MLG governor of NM. $$$ 41/76
They aired this based on a rumor. That's right – a disputed rumor. 42/76
Her CYFD got in trouble for using an encrypted messaging app to communicate. 43/76
The employees who complained? 44/76
This administration seems to have an honesty problem when it comes to CYFD though. 45/76
She put out an ad promoting “free college”, but the ad was full of inconsistencies. Again. 46/76
It doesn't add up. 47/76
Colleges took advantage of the new Opportunity Scholarship immediately, though. 48/76
Her education department linked to a p0rn page promoting this before apparently purchasing the domain to cover that up? 49/76
She recently called those who would potentially attend the Ronchetti/DeSantis rally in Carlsbad, NM, “far-right extremists”. 50/76
Last week she didn't attend a small business forum which was attended by Mark Ronchetti. He was there to listen to the concerns of New Mexican small business owners. Our current governor? No show. 51/76
She “declined to attend” even though plenty of notice was given. Why? Was it really the "schedule" or was there more to it? 52/76
Where was she? It took quite some time for her campaign to admit that she was hobnobbing with rich Democrat donors in Aspen, CO. 53/76

Is that where the “voters are”? 54/76
Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has tested positive for COVID. She put Democrat interests before New Mexico small business interests and came home from Colorado with COVID. Did she also come home w/out-of-state donations? 55/76
Democrats have been in control of New Mexico for most of its history as a state. There have been ZERO Republican trifectas, which would have allowed for real change in our state. ZERO. Meanwhile, 60 years of Dem trifecta failures. 56/76
We are last in the good metrics, and tops in the bad ones. Last in education, last in unemployment, last, last, last.. but most recently? Last in child welfare. Again. Kids don't have a chance until we improve. 57/76
Catch and release policies have cost New Mexicans so much. 59/76
We had fires, admittedly caused by the government's U.S. Forest Service. 60/76
Monsoon rains made this much worse by causing those areas destabilized by the fire damage to create mudslides in the “burn scar” areas. 61/76
She touted that Biden agreed that the government would pay 100% of the damages caused to NM residents. 62/76
Is that what is happening? 63/76
The state sent, “stimulus checks” to New Mexico taxpayers. But as usual, things did not go as planned in MLG's utopia. 64/76
NOW the NM governor seems to realize the bad idea it was to have an open border. 65/76
There may be other reasons she's finally realizing it (see: smuggling from Mexico). 66/76
She touted making liquor licenses easier to get during the pandemic. 67/76
Maybe that wasn't a good idea, either. 68/76
COVID caused ordering issues for many. And fraud. 69/76
COVID caused a lot of issues with employment, of course. This was handled as many things with this administration... not well. 70/76
NM is a very rural state, we already have issues with getting and keeping health care workers of all types, but particularly in specialties. 71/76
NM is going to make it worse. On purpose. 72/76
MLG is now claiming that NM has its lowest unemployment rate since 2008. That is not quite accurate, either. 73/76
MLG says that it matters who you hang around with. Did you SEE the way her employees talk to New Mexicans – how SHE talks to New Mexicans? We see her, “inner circle”. 74/76
Is there an explanation for this thread? 75/76
NM has a decision to make this election. Do we continue with the same pattern we have voted time & time again? We keep electing Dems and expecting diff results. It's time for change, NM. Stop voting for last place. Vote for our children's future. Vote Red in 2022. /end
