“I think the riots in the streets, burning down public buildings, and tearing down public statues is bringing conservative Democrats and Republicans together,” said Congressman Steve Pearce. He is the Chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party. Steve served as a U.S. Representative for New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District from 2003-2009 and from 2011 to 2019.

  • The balance between operating a business safely during COVID-19, and the possible health consequences
