Dear Editor,
As a mother whose first-born daughter lives with a severe brain injury due to medical negligence, I’ve seen firsthand the immense costs of lifelong medical care. In 2013, my daughter suffered brain damage during her delivery because a hospital’s medication protocols were not followed. Thanks to the justice...
Vote in the judicial retention races
American political scientist Larry J. Sabato said, “Every election is determined by the people who show up.”Showing up – and voting – are particularly important for judicial retention races. Under state law, once a New Mexico Supreme Court Justice, Court of Appeals Judge, District Judge or Metropolitan Court Judge has won a partisan election, they go into our judicial retention system. When their term expires, a judge stands for retention. They do not face another candidate, but instead are either retained or not retained by voters. Each judge must receive 57% voter approval to remain on the bench.

The real scandal in Springfield, OH
In what ranks as one of the most memorable debate moments in recent history, Donald Trump said that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio.
No one has yet turned up evidence that this is true, although there is an audio recording of a man reporting that he witnessed four Haitian immigrants absconding with geese from a local pond.
Since everyone is always happy to see geese go someplace else, this call hasn’t made much of an impression on the debate over Trump’s comments, which, true to form, were the most incendiary thing he could say about Springfield.
Even if Tabby and Fido aren’t on the menu in the small Ohio town, the fact remains that a place with...
