ALBUQUERQUE, NM — “The question on everyone’s mind is where in the world is Martin Heinrich?,” asked Republican Party of New Mexico Executive Director Bryan Watkins. “Heinrich is unwilling to show up and talk with his constituents face-to-face but he has managed to find time to hold face-to-face fundraisers with major donors. Heinrich is already showing the people of New Mexico that he values fundraising dollars more than the voices of his constituents.”
Martin Heinrich recently said he isn’t holding town hall meetings because security is too expensive. By contrast Congressman Steve Pearce has been holding town hall meetings all across his district without any complaint of unbearable expense. Congressman Heinrich’s excuse simply doesn’t hold water.
“Congressman Heinrich is out of touch with the values of hard working New Mexico families. It is time for real leaders who show up for New Mexico voters, not dollars. New Mexico deserves an authentic voice and an open ear in the U.S. Senate not a politician who can’t make time for his constituents.”
