REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR STEVE PEARCE SAYS THE POLLSTERS HAVE IT WRONG. AT LAST CHECK, PEARCE IS 10 POINTS BEHIND HIS DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT, MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM. DURING A CAMPAIGN RALLY MONDAY, PEARCE IGNORED THE DOUBTERS AND STUCK TO HIS MAIN POINTS … JOBS, CRIME AND EDUCATION.
BUT AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF GOP GOVERNOR SUSANA MARTINEZ, VOTERS MAY WANT A DEMOCRAT IN THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE. STILL, PEARCE TELLS THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN THAT HE’S THE PERSON TO MOVE NEW MEXICO FORWARD.
THE LATEST POLL RELEASED SUNDAY SHOW LUJAN GRISHAM WITH A 10 PERCENTAGE POINT LEAD OVER PEARCE. EARLIER LAST WEEK PEARCE WAS BEHIND BY NINE POINTS.
