ERENew Mexico Democrats bring the 2022 Pre-Primary Convention to Roswell
The democratic process was in full force Friday, March 5, and Saturday, March 6 as 300 people in-person and 600 on Zoom watched, listened, and cheered as candidates presented themselves and their platforms. Santa Fe County was well represented by 12 delegates. It was an exhilarating show of support for a process that has been the backbone of our country’s electoral system since our country was founded.
To help kick things off on Friday, candidates and delegates mingled at the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art. The meet and greet against the backdrop of truly outstanding art was a great way for delegates and candidates to share a moment of relaxed conversation.
On Saturday at 12 pm, the convention began. Three hours later, delegates heard from all the candidates from Governor and other statewide uncontested slates to federal, judicial, and the statewide contested races. It was an impressive showing of support for all candidates with lots of rousing speechifying.
The takeaway from this pre-primary event can be seen on the sleeve of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s bomber jacket and in her remarks. Her bomber jacket sleeve had the words, “Warrior” written on it. And in her own words, she asked us to “…bring your badass selves to the 2022 midterms. We will not go backward”.

Video: Northern New Mexico Candidate Forum
Candidates in the three contested statewide races made cases for why they should win the June 7 primary at a recent Northern New Mexico candidate Forum on Zoom.
Alexa Maros, chair of Santa Fe’s Ward 5-A, questioned candidates for attorney general, Brian Colon and Raul Torrez, who fielded questions such as what they would do to protect democracy against fake electors, fake audits and armed domestic terrorists.
Darien Fernandez, Taos County chair, greeted candidates for state auditor, Joseph Maestas and Zachary Quintero, who were asked to define the duties of auditor and to define how they would demand accountability from the Children, Youth and Families Department.
Cindy Pabst, chair of Santa Fe’s Ward 4-A, faced candidates for state treasurer, Heather Benavidez and Laura Montoya. In addition to defining the treasurer’s role and strategies to win against a Republican in November, these candidates were asked to complete the sentence: “In my lifetime I have worked very hard to be …”
