Albuquerque, November 28-- Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce released the following statement today, marking the beginning of Hanukkah this evening:

“The Republican Party of New Mexico and I wish our Jewish friends and Jewish communities in New Mexico and around the world a joyous and blessed Hanukkah. The story of the Festival of Lights is a reminder of peoples’ perseverance, courage and strength through adversity. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after a successful revolt and miraculous victory by the Jewish people over their oppressors more than 2,000 years ago. We wish our Jewish friends a joyous holiday as they observe the 8-day-long celebration.”
