Statement from House Republican Leader Jim Townsend (Artesia) in response to Lujan Grisham's continued mask mandate:

"Renewal of the mask mandate reveals how deep-set Lujan Grisham's failures in COVID efforts have been; if New Mexico truly was on the leading edge of prevention and vaccination, then why is our state one of only a handful with a forced mask mandate? Even California, the state that Lujan Grisham desperately seeks approval from, has lifted mask mandates for vaccinated citizens. Lujan Grisham is addicted to this crisis and unlimited power, that is why I encourage New Mexicans to call their legislators and demand that this change immediately. If the progressives are unwilling to stand up to Lujan Grisham, I am sure there are many New Mexicans out there planning to run for office and work for the people instead of blindly following Scrase and MLG."
