New Mexico has worked hard over the past decade to diversify its economy and become a leader in renewable technologies that are catching on in other states. The legislature passed the Energy Transition Act, which sets renewable energy targets for our utilities. The energy sector has already begun to transition away from polluting coal to wind, solar and geothermal energy plants.

Albuquerque, April 4 — Today, former President Donald Trump voluntarily surrendered himself to Manhattan authorities to hear his indictment charges and formally respond to them. The former president's previously unsealed indictment charges were made public this afternoon. Trump pleaded not guilty to all thirty-four felony counts made against him.

Republican Party of New Mexico and former Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement:

"The charges released today only add more questions about the credibility of this indictment. No new information was given in the unsealed documents. Federal and district prosecutors previously decided not to charge the same allegations made against former President Trump almost seven years ago. Prosecuting district attorney Alvin Bragg was rightfully asked today, 'Why now?'

Trump indictment sets a dangerous precedent.

Albuquerque, March 30 — Today, a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict former President Trump on charges believed to be associated with alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. The indictment has not been unsealed, and the exact charges are unknown.

Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman and former Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement:

"We've known from the beginning that this is a political witch hunt against the former President. We had a rogue, Soros-funded district attorney with a political agenda facing intense pressure from the left ahead of an election year. 

Many Democrats have criticized this case for lack of credibility and condemned the biased judicial system in New York. This indictment sets a dangerous precedent for the future of the nation. If a former chief executive officer of the United States can be arrested on dubious charges, the same thing can happen to others.
