ALBUQUERQUE — From the start of her struggling Senate campaign, Nella Domenici has failed to convince New Mexicans that she understands their values. Over the past several months, Domenici has shown herself to be an out-of-touch, hypocritical candidate who has refused to take a clear stance on reproductive rights and ultimately sided with Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda. Now, on the eve of Election Day, it’s worth taking a final look at Nella’s series of missteps that led her from “independent thinker” to full-blown MAGA enthusiast.

Dear Editor,

President Joe Biden visited Arizona on Oct. 25 to apologize for the "sin" of U.S. Boarding School Policy. I’m certainly glad someone in the government did this. I am not Native, but I have friends who I know still suffer from this horrible policy.
