The New Mexico district is heavily Democratic and voted hat way. The Republican tactic didn&#8217;t work in a Democratic district. It tends to say fear-mongering is ineffective, at least in New Mexico&#8217;s liberal districts, but generalizing to competitive districts nation-wide is probably premature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who wondered, in the race to replace former Rep Deb Haaland (D-NM) after her move to Secretary of Interior, the winner is Melanie Stansbury (D-NM).
