Republican Party of New Mexico applauds the recent unanimous decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court to overturn straight ticket voting proposed by the Secretary of State.

Regardless of your political party, strong Supreme Court Justices who respect and uphold the rule of law are important for New Mexico.

We applaud Republican Justice Gary Clingman who was appointed to the bench by Governor Martinez and is now running to stay on the bench, for abstaining from this vote.

Unlike the actions of the New Mexico Secretary of State, Justice Clingman demonstrated his respect for the law and his dedication to an honest and transparent judiciary.

While this is not the kind of race that gets a lot of attention, it’s important to note that his Democratic opponent - who lost his last race to Justice Nakamura - received nearly $200,000 in public financing, while Justice Clingman will receive none!

That is why it is critically important that the people of New Mexico who support an honest judiciary.
