Denish, Colón to Launch Fight for New Mexico's Future at Small Business in Albuquerque

Democratic gubernatorial nominee and Brian Colón, her running mate, will make their first joint appearance together at Route 66 Cleaners, a small business based in Downtown Albuquerque at 308 Central Ave. SE. The joint press conference will take place tomorrow, June 2, at 10:00 AM, and start what will no doubt be a long and hard-fought campaign in a mid-term election year against foes who'll be funded by all the wrong people.

"New Mexicans everywhere are feeling the pain of this difficult economy and they want to know what the candidates are going to do about it," Denish said in a statement released this evening. "We are launching our fight for the future of New Mexico in a small business, because my focus every day of this campaign is going to be on creating sustainable small business jobs in every corner of our state."

If you didn't get to hear Diane's acceptance speech, click to read . I especially like these lines:

There’s a lot of uncertainty out there these days. New Mexicans are tired of politicians who promise them the world – deliver very little – and then find someone else to blame. 


I may not be the flashiest candidate out there. I don’t overpromise. I won’t sell you a load of bull.

I’ll look you in the eye and tell you what I know and what I don’t. What I can do and what I can’t. Where we are and where we need to go. And how we get there.

... My record -- and my ideas for the future -- are very different than what you’ll hear from Susana Martinez.

New Mexicans will have a very clear choice in November.

Susana Martinez talks about change; I have a record of delivering it.

She talks about job creation; I’ve helped make it happen.

Susana Martinez so far has only offered sound bites and empty promises. I’ve put forward solutions and new ideas for the future.

During these tough times New Mexicans don’t want the sizzle, they need the steak.
