ALBUQUERQUE — The Democratic Party of New Mexico released the following statement today’s New Mexico Supreme Court redistricting decision:

“We are glad that the State Supreme Court ordered that the District Court’s redistricting decision will be upheld, hopefully putting to rest months of frivolous distractions from Steve Pearce’s New Mexico Republican Party.

After a non-partisan, deliberative process that was informed by and invited expert and public input from communities across the state, and subsequently went through the complete legislative process in committees and both chambers, the Supreme Court’s decision reaffirms that these maps are fair and representative of New Mexico and our diverse communities.

Now that this matter is finally resolved, both parties can focus on what matters – reaching voters and serving New Mexicans.”
