Albuquerque, NM - Chairwoman Barela responds to KOAT on what HB 9 means for New Mexicans:

"HB9 does nothing to make our communities safer. It's a virtue-signaling, Trump-hating bill that prioritizes those here illegally and vilifies law-enforcement. To say Democrats in New Mexico and across the country are becoming anti-law enforcement is a massive understatement and the people of New Mexico deserve better."

- Chairwoman Amy Barela
