State Republican Chair and Treasurer are empty

Last edited Sat Jul 11, 2026, 08:35 AM - Edit history (1)

Are y’all watching the chaos in our New Mexican Republican Party?
Since I live in Otero County, I’m struggling with schadenfreude. The former Chair Amy Barela is out (but she’s still my County Commissioner ugh) and the Former Treasurer Skaggs is from Otero County; now the Treasurer is in jail for a fatal hit and run.
They have no Senate, Treasurer or Auditor candidate except write-in.

She was a dog groomer and she was given her wealth from her realtor dad. She wants to be able to sell our public lands. She has been friends of Steve Pearce for decades.
