Albuquerque, New Mexico- This weekend the Republican Party of New Mexico will hold its pre-primary convention to select the candidates that will be on the June primary election ballot. Abortion Free New Mexico leaders are delegates and will be present to cast votes representing Bernalillo County. 

Abortion Free New Mexico is pleased to release its most up to date list of candidates who have signed a simple yet solid pro-life pledge. This pledge serves as a tangible declaration that defending life is a priority to each candidate that signs it. It is an assurance for the voter to know where each candidate stands.

Candidates who sign Abortion Free New Mexico's pro-life pledge are not receiving an official endorsement. Abortion Free New Mexico does not endorse candidates, we simply let you know who stands for life and entrust you, the voter, with the responsibility to see where the candidates stand on other important issues. Life, however, is the preeminent issue when choosing a candidate to vote for because without life, nothing else matters.

Abortion Free New Mexico provides the candidates an opportunity to solidify their pro-life position by signing the pro-life pledge but the voters, their constituents, ultimately have to make the final decision who best represents them. Abortion Free New Mexico would love for every candidate to sign a pro-life pledge regardless of party affiliation. Please contact the candidates and see where they stand on other issues that are important to you. Vote your values and refuse to be silenced.
