IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 13, 2026 Chairwoman Barela releases statement on the vandalism that took place at RPNM HQ last night Albuquerque, NM - This morning, our team discovered vandalism at our headquarters office in Albuquerque. An object was thrown through one of our glass windows late last night, causing damage to both the outside and inside of the office. RPNM Chairwoman Amy Barela released the following statement on this incident: "I am enraged and flabbergasted that this continues to be something we deal with," said Chairwoman Barela. "Someone could have been seriously injured as a result of this senseless act of political violence. I am calling on every single elected official in New Mexico, Democrat and Republican, to condemn acts of violence or rhetoric that threaten violence and intimidation, such as this. The reality is that this type of behavior has been normalized in New Mexico in recent months because leaders in our state refuse to condemn it. One year ago, an agitator firebombed this same office, nearly causing the structure to burn down. These actions, no matter who is the target, are completely unacceptable. We are reviewing surveillance footage and working with authorities to identify the person(s) responsible and bring them to justice." ### |
