When I First Registered To

Before I Ran For District Attorney, Two Republicans Invited My Husband And Me To Lunch. And I Knew A Party-switch Was Exactly What They Wanted. So, I Told Chuck, We'll Be Polite, Enjoy A Free Lunch And Then Say Goodbye. But We Talked About Issues - They Never Used The Words Republican, Or Democrat, Conservative Or Liberal. We Talked About Many Issues, Like Welfare - Is It A Way Of Life, Or A Hand-up? Talked About The Size Of Government - How Much Should It Tax Families And Small Businesses? And When We Left That Lunch, We Got In The Car And I Looked Over At Chuck And Said, "i'll Be Damned, We're Republicans."

I've Always Known That My Father's Father And Grandfather And Grandmother Were From Mexico. I've Never Denied It. I've Always Said It.

Self-deport? What The Heck Does That Mean? I Have No Doubt Hispanics Have Been Alienated During This Campaign. But Now There's An Opportunity For Gov. Romney To Have A Sincere Conversation About What We Can Do And Why. I Absolutely Advocate For Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Republicans Want To Be Tough And Say, 'illegals, You're Gone.' But The Answer Is A Lot More Complex Than That.

Growing Up I Never Imagined A Little Girl From A Border Town Could One Day Become A Governor. But This Is America. In America Algo Es Possible.

New Mexico Is An Environment Where We Are Open For Business.
