AFPI-NM Executive Director Vincent Torres on Today’s Primary Elections

ALBUQUERQUE, NM - The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) New Mexico Executive Director Vincent Torres today urges residents to vote in the state’s primary election, with polls open across New Mexico from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and offices up and down the ballot. Today’s primary will set the November matchups for U.S. Senate, New Mexico’s congressional seats, the governor’s office, and a host of statewide, legislative, and county races, and it marks the state’s first semi-open primary, allowing independent voters to take part.

Vincent Torres, Executive Director of AFPI's New Mexico Chapter, stated:

“Every election is a chance for New Mexicans to shape the future of our state and today is one of those moments. Polls are open until 7 p.m., and I’d encourage every eligible voter to make their voice heard.

The choices we make at the ballot box have real consequences. They affect whether working families get to keep more of what they earn, whether our energy industry can continue to thrive, and whether New Mexico moves toward greater opportunity and prosperity.

The federal Working Families Tax Cuts are a great example. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, a larger Child Tax Credit, and bigger refunds are helping hardworking New Mexicans get ahead. At the same time, our oil and gas industry powers the nation, supports thousands of jobs, and helps fund our schools and communities.

The future of our state depends on the leaders we elect, and the direction voters choose. So, make the time to vote today. New Mexico’s future is worth it.”
