SHOULD DEMOCRAT DEB HAALAND DROP OUT OF THE 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RACE? THAT’S WHAT A FORMER DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEEWOMAN IS CALL FOR NOW. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS NICOLE BAGG OF LAS CRUCES ON THURSDAY CALLED FOR HAALAND TO END HER CAMPAIGN BECAUSE SHE IGNORED BAGG’S COMPLAINT FILED BACK IN 2016 AGAINST THEN-COUNTY COMMISSIONER JOHN VASQUEZ.
VASQUEZ DID RESIGN FROM HIS POSITION AFTER ANOTHER PERSON FILED A SEPARATE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATION AGAINST HIM. THE JOURNAL SAYS BAGG ADMITTED ON THURSDAY THAT SHE NEVER TOOK HER CONCERNS TO HAALAND BUT DID TRY TO APPROACH HER ABOUT IT AT A DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEETING.
HAALAND SAYS NO COMPLAINT WAS EVER FILED AND SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF A PROBLEM.
