Will Democrats Vote Down Two Policies That A Vast Majority Of New Mexicans Support?

Santa Fe, NM - Tonight, the House of Representatives will vote on a right-to-work compromise that will also increase the state's minimum wage to $8 per hour, the third highest in the region. Recent polls from the Albuquerque Journal show that 60 percent of New Mexicans support passing right to work and 70 percent of want to increase the minimum wage. This includes support from Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

But a big question looms: Will House Democrats vote against the will of the people?

"House Democrats have two choices: They can listen to the people of New Mexico. Or they can go down the path of Washington politicians who choose gridlock and dysfunction over common-sense compromise," said Patrick Garrett, a spokesman for the House Majority. "We hope they can put politics aside and stand with the vast majority of New Mexicans."
