Rebecca Dow: Expand medical cannabis; oppose legal recreational marijuana

I support hemp production and expanding the medical cannabis program. The versions of the bills to legalize recreational marijuana have been too large and too complicated for me to support. I will not vote for a bill that permits/licenses businesses in the same way as liquor licensing.

Mark Ronchetti: Focus on 1 million fentanyl pills crossing the border

Ronchetti states that if he was elected, he would utilize the National Guard to ensure a secure border that is safe for residents. Lujan Grisham called his statements "political theatre" and said she spoke with those guards who worked the border during then-President Donald Trump's order, and they told her their job duties were not border security.

Ronchetti rebutted with discussing the FBI raid of over 1 million fentanyl pills and went on to state that criminals are here due to the laxed policing.
